These are the acts our team can\u2019t wait to see on Saturday. See the full list for Coachella\u2019s first weekend<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ecca Vandal<\/p>\n

4:20 p.m., Sonora Tent<\/p>\n

Ecca Vandal hooked me with \u201cCruising to Self Soothe,\u201d which gave Turnstile x Brody Dalle (the Distillers) vibes, when I first heard it last spring, but she travels in many genres, crossing into punk, trip hop, alternative hip-hop and pop. With a new album, \u201cLooking for People to Unfollow,\u201d out May 22, and upcoming tour dates that are a mix of supporting Deftones around the world and festivals like Lollapalooza, this is your chance to talk about how you saw her at Coachella\u2019s smallest stage way back when. (Vanessa Franko)<\/p>\n

Geese<\/p>\n

6:15 p.m., Gobi Tent<\/p>\n

Geese have undeniably been at the forefront of conversations on tantalizing, new rock and the revival of the classic \u201cband scene.\u201d This year they show up a little further down the Saturday lineup than expected, especially given their astronomical ascension in popularity, but it\u2019s beyond doubt that they will pull quite the crowd and likely an electric one, too. On stage, Cameron Winter leads an overall enthralling performance, as the group slams out songs back-to-back with little to say in between; no shenanigans, just a top-notch show. (Julius Miller)<\/p>\n

Giveon<\/p>\n

7 p.m., Coachella Stage<\/p>\n

The desert can be hot and rough, but Giveon\u2019s soothing baritone is a balm capable of healing sunburns and broken hearts. Since the breakout success of 2022\u2019s \u201cGive or Take,\u201d the Long Beach-bred singer has certainly taken off, earning an avalanche of recognition for his deep, emotionally available twist on romantic R&B, which was also well received at Coachella that year. His rise continued into 2025 and beyond with the release of his sophomore album \u201cBeloved,\u201d a sweeping journey through lush rhythms and a deep well of feeling on songs like \u201cTwenties\u201d that will help your soul re-hydrate once again in the Indio heat as the sun goes down. (Nate Jackson)<\/p>\n

Nine Inch Noize<\/p>\n

8 p.m., Sahara Tent<\/p>\n

What exactly will Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Boys Noize be doing at this bespoke collaborative electronic set? It sounds like they\u2019re building the plane while they fly it, but the middle section of their recent \u201cPeel It Back\u201d tour showed how they can rip apart the NIN canon and make it club-ready with plenty of arena-goth charisma. (August Brown)<\/p>\n

The Strokes<\/p>\n

9 p.m., Coachella Stage<\/p>\n

Six years after \u201cThe New Abnormal\u201d proved they can still draw an audience of teenagers, the Strokes are using Coachella to drum up interest in a forthcoming follow-up album, \u201cReality Awaits,\u201d which they recorded with Rick Rubin in Costa Rica (because why not). This week the band released the LP\u2019s lead single, \u201cGoing Shopping\u201d; it sounds kind of like the Steve Miller Band if Auto-Tune had existed in the mid-1970s. (Mikael Wood)<\/p>\n

Justin Bieber<\/p>\n

11:25 p.m., Coachella Stage<\/p>\n

The former teen-pop idol recently teased his headlining appearance with stripped-down gigs at the Roxy and the Troubadour in which he performed only material from last year\u2019s \u201cSwag\u201d and \u201cSwag II\u201d albums. One presumes Bieber will offer a more expansive production for his first big concert in years \u2014 but then again he was one of the few high-profile voices to praise Frank Ocean\u2019s polarizing (if brilliant!) headlining set in 2023.
