Ed Sheeran Joins Coachella 2025 Lineup for Surprise Set

Indio, California – Ed Sheeran will make a surprise appearance at the 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, performing on Saturday, April 19, at 3:00 p.m. on the Mojave Stage. This unexpected set comes after Sheeran did not perform during the festival’s first weekend.

Coachella organizers had to fill notable gaps in the schedule after some artists dropped out, including Weezer and FKA twigs. With both slots available, Sheeran was invited to take the stage for a special afternoon performance that fans are eagerly anticipating. Weezer had previously occupied the same time slot during the first weekend, leaving a much-anticipated gap for weekend two.

The announcement of Sheeran’s performance adds to the excitement surrounding the festival’s second weekend, which features a star-studded lineup including Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Post Malone. Fans can look forward to a mix of hits and new material from Sheeran, who is known for his engaging stage presence.

“We’re thrilled to have Ed on board for weekend two,” said a festival representative. “His music resonates with so many fans, and his set is sure to be a highlight of the weekend.”

The livestream for Coachella will continue across six channels on YouTube, with coverage starting each day at 4:00 p.m. PT. Home viewers will get a chance to experience the festival virtually, although Sheeran’s pre-recorded segment will air on the channel at 4:00 p.m. PT, an hour after his live performance.

Despite the changes in the schedule, many of the other performances will remain the same as the first weekend. Friday’s lineup includes high-profile acts like Missy Elliott and Benson Boone, culminating in Lady Gaga’s performance at 11:10 p.m. “The energy here is electric,” commented one festival-goer. “We can’t wait for the performances!”

Festival-goers should also be aware of logistical updates, as this year’s event features new amenities and enhanced rustic accommodations, including the addition of Ready-Set and La Campana tent camping options. Daily tickets for those wishing to attend either weekend are still available, starting at $599.

As Coachella solidifies its status as a must-attend event in the music calendar, fans are urged to check the official website for the latest updates, artist schedules, and any last-minute changes.
