Coachella 2025's second weekend has now come to an end, and so has everybody's voice, energy, and phone storage. The festival concluded with sunburns, missing sunglasses, and 400 fuzzy videos no one will ever bother to watch again. From surprise artist mashups to people going wild at the wrong stage, it was maximum Coachella madness in just the right ways.
The second week introduced more dust, more drama, and somehow even more fringe fashion. As influencers crawl back to WiFi and festival-goers struggle to recall where they parked, one thing's certain: Coachella 2025 went out loud.
Whether you attended in person or witnessed it through wobbly live streams, the second weekend delivered all that and a bag of chips: music, memes, and gentle bewilderment. Coachella may be finished, but the commentary, TikTok, and "you had to be there" moments are only just beginning.
And as always, the real headliners were the crowd. Amidst someone doing a spin on a speaker backpack and some dude in a cactus outfit distributing "vibes," Coachella was once again reminding us that the fans are content.
People came for music but stayed for chaos, like the group who dragged an entire couch or the influencer who streamed herself crying because her portable charger ran out of battery. Security saw it all - from the Crocs-clad crowd surfer to an individual trying to sneak in by dressing up as a porta-potty.
It was grimy, insane, and exactly what you'd expect from the final stretch of Coachella.
Here are some hilarious memes of Coachella 2025
Here are a few of the funniest memes of Coachella 2025, because nothing is more "music festival" than the internet ridiculing it in real-time. From someone comparing a parched concertgoer to a stale French fry left on the ground to influencer selfies while the headliner was in the middle of their set, the mayhem was at its best entertainment.
Fans zoomed in on stars as if they were critters in a wildlife show. For people who weren't there, the internet did its magic, transforming each instant into a meme timeline that placed you in the thick of it, dodging glitter and surprise crowd surfers.

How some of us feel watching Coachella on YouTube on my couch: (Via X/ @americanamemes)
Watching Coachella 2025 on YouTube from the couch is now the new luxury norm. No blisters, no crowds, just judgment and snacks at the touch of a button. At this point, the notion of standing for hours in the desert is more akin to a survival test than a music festival. Some people have just resigned to the fact that comfort trumps clout any day.
LA residents saying goodbye to people going to Coachella today: (Via X/ @americanamemes)
LA residents bidding farewell to individuals going to Coachella resembled sending soldiers off to war. There were hugs, melodramatic goodbyes, and one fellow shouting, "Don't let the porta-potties change you!" Most just waved, quietly thankful they'd opted for air conditioning and regular toilet facilities instead of three days of dust and glitter-fueled mayhem.
People over 30 at Coachella: (Via X/ @americanamemes)
Coachella attendees above 30 looked like undercover police trying to fit in among the youngins. They carried Advil, SPF, and a firm "drink one, drink water" strategy. When all others were on the lookout for after-parties, they were on the lookout for cell reception and shade. At 9 PM, they weren't raging. They were searching Google for "how to exit festival parking lot without tears."
They really got Lady Gaga for Friday… how can the other coachella headliners and performers top this now (Via X/ @allurequinn)
They really booked Lady Gaga for Friday, and the other Coachella headliners are likely searching "how to top an icon" on Google. Anything less than a hologram sing-along unicorn coming on after Gaga just feels like a disappointment. Beyoncé, Drake, and Harry Styles are now all vying for the coveted "Best Performance After Gaga" award, but seriously, how do you top the queen? The rest of the weekend then became a game of "How low can you set expectations?"
Coachella 2025 is nothing but dystopian extravagance (Via X/ @the_herald)
Coachella 2025 is nothing short of dystopian excess, where fashion yells "post-apocalyptic catwalk," and everybody's either too hip or too lost to care. Influencers take up residence in the desert as if they're going to overthrow something but after their third selfie and $25 kombucha. The audience isn't just at a festival. They're surviving on exorbitant water, glitter, and hopeless dreams of being featured on the Coachella highlight reel.
When the Coachella team forgot to give Doja her mic (Via X/ @dojaonmedia)
When the Coachella crew forgot to provide Doja with her mic, it was like the festival-goer equivalent of arriving at a dinner party without dessert, awkward, yet you still attempt to remain cool. Doja, being Doja, played it off like a pro, but you could practically hear her inner monologue: "Am I doing interpretive dance now? Where's my mic, guys?" The audience must have been thinking if they were being included in some sort of experimental performance art, with Doja just doing her work!
Benson Boone carrying the cardboard cutout of Brian May at Coachella night 2, this might be the funniest thing he did (Via X/ @zquadrry28x)
Benson Boone hauling around the cardboard cutout of Brian May during Coachella night 2 is possibly the coolest thing he's ever done, second only, you know, to actually singing. As if the festival had enough pandemonium, up walks Benson, just casually holding around a cardboard rock god like the long-lost twin brother he is. The entire scene was a combination of confusion and plain comedy tribute? Prop? Or simply the greatest "I forgot to bring my band" moment.
Coachella 2025 has come to a close, taking with it a trail of glitter, crushed sandals, and memes that will outlast any phone battery. As the stages dim and influencers hibernate on their hydration IV drips, the internet receives the official afterparty: meme central.
From dinosaur bones to cardboard cutout icons and microphone enigmas, the madness was recorded, roasted, and immortalized in pixels. If the show is Coachella, then the memes are the encore, and let's be honest, they stole the highlight reel.
