Melbourne-based Amyl and the Sniffers were announced beside the global music superstars to take the stage at the world's biggest music festival in 2025.
The Coachella line up has been announced, and people have thoughts.
It's a win for the millennials with Lady Gaga, Green Day and Missy Elliot set to perform to thousands of fans in a throwback to the 1990s and 2000s.
But there's something for Gen Z too, with brat summer's own Charli XCX taking to the stage alongside Post Malone in his country era and TikTok's Benson Boone.
Coachella is a two-weekend, multi-festival held in a south Californian desert. The 2024 show was headlined by Lana Del Ray, among others.
Headliner Lady Gaga said on X she had "long dreamed" of throwing a massive "night of chaos" in the desert.
"I've had a vision I've never been able to fully realise at Coachella for reasons beyond our control but I wanted to come through for music fans," she said.
"I have been wanting to go back and to do it right, and I am."
One user on X said they were excited to see a "true Gaga" performance at Coachella.
"And Green Day lord have mercy someone get me to Coachella," she said.
Other users were ecstatic for Enhypen, a popular K-pop boy band.
"Wooo let's go my seven!" one user commented.
Tickets to the 2025 music festival have already sold out on the official website but the festival streams performances for free on YouTube.
