Real music heads know that the best stage at Coachella isn’t the main stage. It’s Do LaB, the festival’s electronic tent that’s the only stage curated by an outside party: two brothers, Jesse and Josh Flemming, who also founded the EDM festival Lightning in a Bottle. Every year, the Do LaB books surprise guests who are announced day-of as headliners, while their regular programming regularly taps the most exciting acts coming up in the alt and electronic music scenes. Last year, the stage’s scope even overlapped with the mainstream: Billie Eilish played a surprise set, and Katy Perry came out during a set with DJ Mia Moretti. The only thing that’s predictable with the Do LaB is its unpredictability.
Do LaB’s 2025 Coachella lineup will be no different with “surprise appearances” expected for every night of the festival. But its regular programming seems to have been kicked up a notch. Anderson .Paak will be playing both weekends under his DJ moniker DJ PEE .WEE, and Zack Fox (in a B2B set with breakout DJ Jyoty), Trixie Mattell, Confidence Man, The Hellp, BAMBII, and many more are also slated to perform.
The tent’s undercard is also impressive with showings from Ivy Lab, Kasra, Conducta, Nooriyah, and Villager.
For those who weren’t too impressed by Coachella’s lineup this year, the Do LaB just might change your mind (I’m certainly Googling flights right now). See the full lineup, below.
