Post Malone, 4batz and BigXthaPlug Will Put North Texas Stamp on Coachella 2025

Next year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is going to sound distinctly Texan.

The annual gathering, on the grounds of the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, is set to run April 11–13 and the following weekend, April 18–20.

Headliners include Lady Gaga, Green Day and Grapevine’s own Post Malone, who’ll close out both weekends on Sunday.

Posty has a jam-packed 2025 planned, as he’ll be touring separately from his Coachella gigs as part of his “Big Ass Stadium Tour.” It's scheduled to stop at AT&T Stadium on May 9, just a couple weeks removed from his Coachella appearances.

His extensive touring is in support of his recently released country album, F 1-Trillion, which is stacked with cameos from all corners of Nashville.

He won’t be the only North Texas artist appearing in the California desert, either. A pair of rising rap stars will also be on the bill both weekends — 4batz and BigXthaPlug.

4batz (born Neko Bennett) is riding high off the critical acclaim for his debut EP U Made Me a Sta4r, and his first headlining concert (nay, his first concert at all) at Dallas’ Echo Lounge & Music Hall in August only confirmed the hype.

“With a set just under an hour-and-a-half, 4Batz easily convinced the audience that he was a bona fide star,” the Observer’s Bryson “Boom” Paul wrote of that appearance. “He may not have had the same experience as other superstars, but he displayed the same professionalism. He appeared charismatic, persuasive and magnetically appealing. With this performance, he put any doubts about his abilities to rest.”

Bennett was joined at that Dallas date by fellow North Texas native BigXthaPlug, who’s readying his own high-profile headlining gig at the South Side Ballroom on Nov. 29. He'll be bringing his “Take Care” tour through town, with support from Ro$ama and Yung Hood.

Born Xavier Landum, the rapper is likewise turning heads on the strength of his latest project, Take Care, which he told Rolling Stone last month touches on three distinct points: "When it get better, it get worse; do what you gotta do, and growth and success."

“We got money,” Landum told the magazine. “Yeah, we got cars. We got this. But it’s [discussed in] a more mature way. We’re not bragging about it. We just speaking on it. It’s there, but I care more about taking care of my people and my kids.”
