Coachella 2025 is almost here, but the music event has lost its luster in recent years. Once synonymous with star power and unforgettable experiences, the rise of competing festivals has played a role in Coachella’s decline. However, the recent rumor of Kendrick Lamar and Rihanna as headliners for next year has caused renewed excitement and raised many eyebrows. Will this power duo be enough to rekindle the magic of Coachella, if the rumor is even true?

Here's everything you need to know about the music festival's date and who the headliners are.

The annual festival will take place over two weekends next year: April 11-13 and April 18-20.

However, competing festivals such as Lollapalooza and ACL have recently contributed to Coachella’s decline. These festivals have successfully carved out their niches, offering unique experiences and diverse lineups that appeal to specific demographics. In addition, rising ticket prices have further fueled speculation about the festival’s declining popularity.
