Global superstar and cultural icon Travis Scott will once again take the stage at Coachella in 2025, headlining the festival’s main stage on Saturday nights. Scott, who has redefined the landscape of both music and performance, is set to debut a new era of music at the iconic festival. His return will mark his first Coachella appearance since 2017 when he performed after Beyoncé’s pregnancy-related cancellation.
Scott’s performance at Coachella will be part of a broader creative takeover. The artist, whose *CIRCUS MAXIMUS* tour has set new records as the highest-grossing rap tour in history, will curate an immersive Cactus Jack experience on both weekends of the festival, held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, on April 11-13 and April 18-20. Details of this unique experience are still under wraps but are expected to push the boundaries of what attendees can expect from a festival activation, combining music, art, and culture in ways that only Scott can.
A Groundbreaking Creative Vision
Scott has made waves across industries for his forward-thinking approach to music, fashion, and art. His recent work at ComplexCon 2024 introduced *CactusCon*, a massive, immersive activation that showcased over 35 exclusive collaborations with top designers and brands. The event featured an extravagant “bazaar” with massive art installations, live workshops, and an exclusive Cactus Jack store, where thousands of fans lined up to purchase rare, limited-edition merchandise.
CactusCon also featured the *Cactus Colosseum*, an experiential zone created in collaboration with Nike. The massive installation, celebrating Scott’s partnership with the sportswear giant, offered fans a chance to interact with the artist’s sneaker collaborations, including the highly anticipated Nike Zoom Field Jaxx. It also included a soccer pitch for skills challenges, a retail space with exclusive merchandise, and a trophy display showcasing some of Scott’s most popular Nike collaborations.
Scott’s role at ComplexCon is just one example of how he continues to expand his cultural influence. His ability to blend fashion, music, and art has redefined the festival experience, making him a key figure in not just the music industry but in global pop culture.
A Special Coachella Performance
In addition to the Cactus Jack takeover, Scott will bring his groundbreaking live show to Coachella, a performance that promises to be unlike anything the festival has seen before. Scott has already teased his appearance by including “Indio, CA,” the festival’s home base, on the poster for his *Big Ass Stadium Tour* for 2025, signaling his return to the desert in a big way. His headlining set is expected to be a perfect precursor to his upcoming stadium tour, offering fans a taste of the new music and creative direction he will explore in the coming year.
Scott’s return to Coachella will be a highly anticipated moment for fans, as he takes the stage for the first time since the 2017 festival. His previous appearance was one of the most memorable moments in recent Coachella history, and expectations are high for his 2025 set, which will feature a blend of his signature hits and new material.
