Travis Scott was last night’s (Saturday, April 12) second headliner at the 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, following Green Day, His set, which Scott had teased as the unveiling of a “new chapter,” marked the Houston rapper’s first performance at the festival since 2017. The official Coachella 2025 poster not only unveiled that he would perform, but also included the phrase “Travis Scott designs the desert.” Scroll down to check out clips of his performance, and rewind the livestream below to watch it in full.
Heralded by a 60-piece brass band, Scott kicked things off with renditions of “Crush,” from Playboi Carti’s new album Music, and “Aye” by Lil Uzi Vert—two songs on which he appears as a featured artist—followed by a pair of unreleased tracks, rumoredly titled “Oh Jacques” and “She Going Dumb.” The rapper spent most of his set on an elevated circular platform at the center of the crowd, with the main stage occupied by brutalist band risers and, at certain points, dancers suspended from the ceiling.
Scott went on to perform his verse on the Music single “Backr00ms,” his Future & Metro Boomin collab “Type Shit,” and a mashup of his Utopia track “Modern Jam” with Drake’s “Nokia.” “Sicko Mode” received a marching band introduction, as did the second go-round of “Fe!n,” which Scott performed twice back-to-back. He wrapped up the set with abridged versions of “Antidote,” from his 2015 debut album Rodeo, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight cut “Goosebumps,” and Utopia’s “Telekinesis.”
Scott’s most recent studio LP, Utopia landed in 2023. The following year, he released a 10th anniversary edition of his breakout mixtape Rodeo titled Days Before Rodeo. In early 2025, the rapper finally released his his long-teased song “4X4”—his first piece of new music since dropping Utopia.
