Green Day Electrifies Coachella as Travis Scott and No Doubt Keep Crowd Buzzing on Saturday

Green Day Ignites Coachella With Nonstop Punk Energy

If you thought punk rock was fading from festival stages, Saturday at Coachella shut that down in epic fashion. Green Day took the main stage and didn’t waste a second—rolling right into the kind of setlist everyone hoped for. Voices from every corner joined Billie Joe Armstrong right from the first notes of “American Idiot.” It wasn’t just a performance; it was a massive singalong stretching from the pit to the food trucks as the band tore through hits like “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” and “Holiday.”

Fans in old band tees and young newcomers didn’t miss a beat. Armstrong kept the momentum high, barely stopping between songs, ramping up the energy with every anthem. Coachella’s biggest crowd of the night gravitated to the stage, phones up, arms around friends, chanting classic lyrics in perfect unison. For anyone who grew up with their music, it felt like reclaiming a soundtrack from years past.

Travis Scott Redefines Festival Experience, No Doubt and Tyler, the Creator Deliver Unforgettable Sets

The party didn’t slow down as you moved across the grounds—Travis Scott engineered a spectacle that stood out, even in the middle of Coachella’s organized chaos. His “Designs the Desert” setup blurred the line between live show and art gallery, covering the festival with pulsating visuals and unexpectedly trippy installations. Scott’s signature style—booming bass, razor-sharp beats, swirling lights—wrapped around festivalgoers for a true sensory takeover. Walking through his immersive playground, it was hard to tell where the music ended and the art began.

Nostalgia got a headlining spot too, with No Doubt bringing their playful SoCal energy to a packed set at 9:25pm. Clad in neon and cargo pants straight out of the ‘90s, Gwen Stefani had the crowd moving with every “Don’t Speak” and “Just a Girl.” Even those who weren’t around for the band’s peak found themselves pulled into the communal joy of the moment.

Closing out the night, Tyler, the Creator took the stage at 11:40pm, making good on his genre-mashing reputation. Every song felt like a leap in a new direction—sometimes rap, sometimes R&B, sometimes totally unclassifiable. It was unpredictable in the best way, exactly what fans expect from Tyler’s electrifying live shows. By the time the night wrapped up, people were still buzzing about the day’s wild mix of old favorites and new experiences.

Rumors had swirled earlier about an unexpected Bernie Sanders cameo, but there was no senator sighted in the crowd—just a festival that seemed to refuse to sleep, embracing everything from high-octane punk to eye-popping modern rap and mind-bending art installations. Saturday proved again why Coachella keeps music fans coming back, year after year.
