Travis Scott headlined the second night of Coachella 2025 with a futuristic set that saw his dancers levitate above the stage – watch footage below.

The Houston rapper was Saturday’s (April 12) second headliner, following on from Green Day. Marking his first appearance at the Californian festival since 2017, Coachella posters previously promised the performance would see him “design the desert”.

Fans have since praised the emphasis put on set design and visuals, with many impressed with a moment his backing dancers appeared to float mid-air. Performing from a circular platform in the middle of the crowd, with the main stage acting as a backdrop, Scott was also joined by a huge brass band that accompanied him on several tracks.

He opened his hour-long set with ‘Aye’ and Crush’, and debuted two unknown tracks, as well as firing through fan favourites like ‘FE!N’ – which was played twice with an orchestral reimagining –  ‘Sicko Mode’ and ‘Antidote’.

Throughout the performance, Scott largely remained on the moving circular stage, only appearing on the main stage set for two tracks, ‘Skyfall’ and ‘Highest in the Room’.

The reception to the set was seemingly mixed, with some expressing frustration the rapper was late for his set, while others joked it was also impossible to see the grand visuals through the smoke. One X/Twitter user complained he opened his set with feature tracks and “not one co-artist out to surprise or turn up this drug dead crowd,” not the first time fans of the festival have complained about a lacklustre crowd over the weekend.
