A new large-scale structure will debut at Coachella 2025.
In partnership with Red Bull, the festival will debut Red Bull Mirage, a multi-level, 20,000 square-foot installation located directly across from the festival’s Quasar stage, the lineup for which dropped today (March 17.) See exclusive renderings of Red Bull Mirage below.
Quasar itself will feature two unique lineups across both weekends of Coachella 2025. For weekend one, The Martinez Brothers will play b2b with Loco Dice on Friday, April 11; Barry Can’t Swim will play alongside 2ManyDJs and salute on Saturday, April 12; and Tiësto will play the stage on Sunday, April 13.
For weekend two, deadmau5 will play under his Testpilot alias alongside Zhu on Friday, April 18; Kaskade will play a redux set with Idris on Saturday, April 19; and Alesso will play one of his house-oriented Body Hi sets alongside Gorgon City on Sunday, April 20.
Near Quasar, Red Bull Mirage will offer hang opportunities for all ticket tiers. GA attendees will be able to access bars, activations and shade. The structure’s first level will offer a high-level dining experience, with details forthcoming. The second level will function as an invite-only loft space for artists, industry and media. Meanwhile, the top level will be a private perch for artist and guests to mingle and take in views of Quasar and the polo field beyond.

Quasar itself debuted at Coachella 2024 as a stage hosting extended dance/electronic sets. The stage was a hit during its debut last year, drawing huge crowds for three-plus hour performances, many of which were special b2b pairings. This year’s addition of Red Bull Mirage indicates that Coachella is investing in the long-term future of the stage.
Upon last year’s announcement of Quasar, Goldenvoice’s Executive Vice President Jenn Yacoubian called it “a stage where we can book talent on it in a way that we’ve felt we haven’t been able to in the past. We’re looking at it as a traditional kind of DJ stage. The thinking was that we wanted people to see a longer format DJ set.”

Young Thug has been enjoying his newfound freedom for quite some time now and upon his release he was immediately seen in the studio with the likes of Lil Baby and Future and now we’re getting the fruits of their labor and it looks like they got a banger on their hands.
Linking up in the new visuals for “Dum, Dumb, and Dumber,” Lil Baby, Young Thug and Future pull out the big boy toys and get their Fast & Furious on while flashing big bags of cash and pounds of ice while Thugger flaunts a Doctor Doom-ish mask and a tarantula on his head?! We would say prison changed that man but he’s always been on some next sh*t.

Appearing on producer Zoomo’s album Absolution, released in October of 2024, the music video for “Good Orderly Direction” featuring Navy Blue is finally here.
Directed by Paul Merelle, the visuals are just as soulful as the beats and the bars as Zoomo and Navy find themselves taking in the sights and sounds of Central Park on what looks like a damp, autumn day.

With the beat switch in the middle, “Good Orderly Direction” is essentially two songs with the West Coast rapper doing what he does best by getting introspective. He starts off the first verse telling the listener to chill out a bit, rapping, “Alone on a path tryna get the thoughts freed up/I’m goin’ in the game 4-3 up/If you movin’ through this life on the gas, better ease up/Jesus Christ on the cross, gotta bleed/River full of fish, be weary of the greed/Solve our problems with a spliff, every young brotha’ need love.”

He then ends the with, “It only gets harder as you go/You alive, and that’s the sacred part of how you grow,” reminding us to keep on keeping on because life is a garden, dig it?
On the second verse, after the beat switches a bit, Navy Blue talks about the beauty in facing your anxieties as he stands in the middle of Central Park’s Naumburg Bandshell. “Even when I’m hurt, I’ma smile,” he raps. “I done learned just to love me a bit/Fear stacked, I was perched on a pile/Down bad, I can gladly admit/Imperfect, I’m searching aloud/Loose garment, I can’t wear a shroud/And this sack bring a brother closer to God.”
In case you’re not familiar with Zoomo, he’s a producer out of North Carolina who’s down with YL and Starker’s NYC collective RRR and has been bringing the feeling back with beat tapes — a medium in hip-hop that has become a rare occurrence these days — his most recent project Absolution features instrumentals and includes features from Navy, Da$H, AKTHESAVIOR, YL, Starker, Wiki, ANKHLEJOHN, Aasir, VIP Skylark, Goya Gumbani, and Papo2oo4.

AEG Presents is finally planting its flag in Austin.
While the city has long been the home of Messina Touring Group — AEG Presents’ highly successful global touring outfit — the live music giant hasn’t held any real estate in the fast-growing metroplex.
That changes now that AEG has announced plans to open a 4,000-capacity indoor venue in the so-called “live music capital of the world.” The 65,000-square-foot, yet-to-be-named venue will anchor River Park, a 109-acre mixed-use development in East Austin that will combine residential housing with office space, retail and restaurants.
“Designed for both world-class performances and unforgettable events, the venue will feature state-of-the-art sound and lighting, luxury suites, VIP seating, and best-in-class hospitality — all with a front-row feel no matter where you’re standing,” a press release announcing the project reads. “The artist experience is just as carefully considered with spacious, artist-friendly dressing rooms, green rooms, and top-tier production capabilities.”
AEG Presents attorney Shawn Trell explained that the company has “always wanted to build a venue from the ground up in Austin, but we wanted to make sure the timing and location were right, and we had partners aligned with our vision.” Those partners include Texas developers Presidium and Partners Group.

Austin has seen a number of new venues open in recent years, dating back to the opening of ACL Live at The Moody Theater in 2011. A year later, Live Nation and the Formula 1 racing association opened the Circuit of the Americas, which features auto racing and large-scale concerts. And in April 2022, Oak View Group opened the Moody Center, an 18,000-capacity arena that is regularly listed on Billboard Boxscore’s chart of top venues with a capacity of over 15,000.
“We’re thrilled to bring a new venue to Austin, a city that lives and breathes live music,” said Robin Phillips, vp of AEG Presents Southwest, in a statement. “Our mission is to bring something new to the city that both honors the legacy of Austin and feels completely unique. Whether it’s a headlining show from a national touring act, or a local artist’s breakthrough moment, we want this space to feel like home for musicians and fans alike.”
