Gather 'round Little Monsters, for I've got a treat for you. Clips from Lady Gaga's Coachella soundcheck were leaked on Thursday, teasing a set list full of Mayhem and a few older classics.
Lady Gaga is headlining the 2025 Coachella Festival in celebration of her newest album, so fans were already pretty certain that they could expect a plenty of songs off of Mayhem, and—spoiler alert—the handful of leaks appear to confirm this hunch.
No official set list has been released, but, thanks to one Little Monster, we have some idea of what she might be performing. On Thursday, @lmeipy on Twitter shared a handful of videos supposedly from Gaga's Coachella soundcheck. The leaks don't give a sneak peek of the actual set itself (they appear to have been filmed from a campground), but you can hear the tracks pretty clearly.
A majority of the tracks recorded were from Gaga's new album Mayhem, including “How Bad Do U Want Me” and “Vanish Into You.” But, there was also a surprise throwback in the mix. In one video, “Poker Face” can clearly be heard coming from the loudspeakers. A Gaga classic if ever there was one!
In another tweet, @lmeipy also said that he heard “Judas” and “Poker Face.” When asked if they heard any tracks off Artpop, the Twitter user confirmed that it didn't appear to be on the setlist—at least not for the soundcheck.
Of course, what's performed at soundcheck isn't always a reflection of the actual performance. Other than the Mayhem tracks, Gaga could just be giving fans already camped out a little treat for their troubles, or trying to throw them off the scent of what she's really cooking up for her headlining set.
All we know for sure about Gaga's performance is that it's going to be epic. When the festival lineup was first announced, the artist wrote on Instagram that she'd “had a vision I've never been able to fully realize at Caochella” that she feels will finally come to fruition—so I'd expect elaborate dance sequences, set pieces, and stunning fashion. Speaking to Rolling Stone more recently, she teased, “We're crafting it moment by moment. I can't wait to do it... I love singing for people and making people happy.”
Lady Gaga's Coachella set will begin Friday at 11:10 p.m. PST, and will be available to stream on various platforms
