Coachella starts with Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone headlining

Music fans are arriving in California's Coachella Valley for the premier arts festival that begins Friday, April 11, featuring headliners like Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Post Malone.

The opening day promises to be hot with temperatures reaching up to 37.8 degrees Celsius due to a high-pressure system causing a mini heat wave in southern California.

Organizers are urging the tens of thousands expected to stay hydrated and use sunscreen as they gather to see performances by artists such as Missy Elliott, Parcels, The Prodigy, Tyla, Lisa from Blackpink, Charli XCX, Travis Scott, Rawayana, Gustavo Dudamel with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Megan Thee Stallion, Ty Dolla $ign, Polo & Pan, and Kraftwerk.

Lady Gaga, fresh off her album 'Mayhem,' has promised a chaotic night of music on Friday evening, while South African star Tyla is making her Coachella debut after missing last year due to an injury.

Other notable performances include Blackpink's Lisa, Charli XCX, Travis Scott, and rock acts such as The Go-Gos, the original Misfits, Jimmy Eat World, and the Circle Jerks.
