Ed Sheeran and Weezer were two previously unannounced acts spotted on the 2025 Coachella lineup when set times for the this year’s festival were posted on Saturday (April 5). They’ll each pop in for a one-day, daytime set.

Weezer will play the Mojave tent on Saturday afternoon (3:10-3:55 p.m.) on April 12, during the festival’s first weekend.


Sheeran takes a Saturday afternoon (3-4 p.m.) Mojave time slot on April 19, during weekend two. Both acts perform just before Yo Gabba Gabba!’s 4:45 p.m. set at the same stage.

Their addition to to the Coachella bill arrives ahead of several upcoming festival dates for Weezer, who’ve been celebrating the 30th anniversary of their 1994 self-titled debut, known as The Blue Album. Sheeran also has a summer full of shows scheduled, and a just-released single, “Azizam,” from his upcoming album Play; “Azizam” means “my dear” in Farsi, and was inspired by producer Illya Salmanzadeh’s Persian heritage.
