Coachella 2025 came to an electrifying close with a surprise-filled headlining set from Post Malone. The night was packed with star power as Malone brought out two major collaborators—Ed Sheeran and Jelly Roll—during his performance, leaving festival-goers and fans buzzing long after the final notes.
Jelly Roll Joins Post Malone for “Losers”
Jelly Roll was the first guest to join Post Malone on stage, and the crowd erupted in excitement as the two took the stage to perform their heartfelt collaboration “Losers” from Post’s country debut album, F-1 Trillion. Jelly Roll, whose blend of country and rap has been gaining traction, seamlessly complemented Malone’s gritty and emotional style, creating a magical moment that had the entire crowd singing along.
The song, which has become an anthem for the underdogs, showcased both artists’ ability to blend genres and speak to universal themes of resilience and redemption. It was clear that the collaboration was one of the highlights of the evening, adding a personal touch to the already star-studded Coachella lineup.
Ed Sheeran Brings “Sunflower” Magic to Coachella
After Jelly Roll’s performance, the surprises continued when Ed Sheeran made a surprise appearance to perform “Sunflower.” Sheeran took on the role of Swae Lee, delivering the track's signature vocals with his own twist. The duo’s hit from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is one of Post Malone’s biggest and most recognizable hits, and hearing it live with Sheeran's heartfelt delivery made the performance even more special.
The crowd was in full sync, singing every word as the song’s upbeat, feel-good energy filled the air. It was a full-circle moment for Sheeran, who has been a regular performer at Coachella over the years, and for Post Malone, whose career continues to soar with collaborations that transcend genres.
Post Malone’s New Single and Morgan Wallen Collaboration
As Coachella wrapped up, Post Malone’s performance was further amplified by the announcement of his latest collaboration with country star Morgan Wallen, “I Ain’t Comin’ Back.” The track, which dropped just days before the festival, is already being hailed as a potential song of the summer. Fans were eager to hear it performed live, and Post did not disappoint, debuting the song on the festival stage with an energy that had the crowd on their feet.
“I Had Some Help,” the duo’s previous collaboration, also made an appearance during the set, much to the delight of fans who’ve been following their musical journey. The new track promises to be another hit in Post’s growing collection of cross-genre collaborations.
Sheeran’s Busy Coachella Weekend
While Sheeran’s appearance during Post Malone’s set was a surprise, the singer had already made waves earlier in the weekend with his own performance. Sheeran took to the stage on Saturday afternoon as part of his surprise set for weekend two of Coachella. His performance of his latest single, “Azizam,” which dropped in April, was a clear indication that Sheeran’s eighth studio album, Play, is on the way.
Though the album’s release date remains unconfirmed, fans are excited for what’s next. Sheeran also hosted a pop-up event at Coachella, bringing his “Old Phone Pub” to the festival. The intimate setting allowed for a more personal performance alongside Shaboozey and Alex Warren, both of whom are signed to Sheeran’s Atlantic label.
Other Coachella Highlights
Coachella 2025 also saw some unforgettable moments from other artists. Dave Grohl took the stage with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, performing “Everlong” during the orchestra’s set. The iconic Foo Fighters frontman’s appearance added a layer of sophistication to the usually rock-heavy festival.
In contrast, Irish hip-hop group Kneecap made headlines for their controversial set, where they raised awareness about the Palestinian issue. They displayed messages on screen calling for the freeing of Palestine and addressing the ongoing genocide. Their performance sparked intense debate but also highlighted Coachella’s ability to provide a platform for diverse voices and causes.
