Year after year the most iconic music festival in the world pulls out all the stops and puts on a one-of-a-kind Coachella Music And Arts Festival … and all of Hollywood’s celebs and influencers are instinctively flocking to the Empire Polo fields to get in on all the action!

After an insane amount of traffic and logistically nightmares the party got under way and it looks like the the crowds put the past behind them and had a wild first day in the desert headlined by Lady Gaga!

Hailey Bieber slipped into a little black dress to promote her Rhude lip gloss at a desert party with Kendall Jenner and her 818 Tequila, while James Charles puts on a clinic on Coachella chic … complete with a pair of pearl earrings … and Charli D’Amelio checked all the fest fashion boxes with fringe, lace and hippy braids!

Dylan Efron was feeling the heat from the fun and ducked into the Ray Ban Meta experience for some AC and an ab-solutely show-stopping stomach selfie … and Brett Rockman continues to bring new looks year after year party-hopping around the desert.

Lukas Gage was photographed grinning ear to ear while enjoying a cold one in the Heineken House and Dylan Mulvaney posed for a pic in a lace tunic and bikini while hanging around the Youtube+ event.

There’s also plenty to see on the 8 different stages around the fest … with some awesome surprise guests joining the regularly scheduled artists. As we first reported, Benson Boone was joined on stage by Queen’s guitarist Brian May, Both Travis Barker and MGK were spotted in the Sahara tent performing with Three 6 Mafia, Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong rocked out with The Go-Go’s and Becky G popped up with Tyla at the Outdoor Stage!

Please don’t forget about all the large-scale installation art pieces that can be spotted sprinkled around the grassy polo fields … check out all of this year’s cool sculptures that the fest has to offer!

It’s highly unlikely the next season of “The White Lotus” will take place at Coachella … but we kinda got a glimpse of what they could look like Friday night at the music fest!

Patrick Schwarzenegger and his fiancé, Abby Champion, were spotted rocking out in the front row of his costar Lisa‘s set … and it was clear he was having a blast.

PS and Lisa — who, in addition to being an actress, is a member of the K-pop group Blackpink — were in this season of HBO series … which just had its shocking conclusion last weekend!

The actor stopped by “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” Thursday … revealing Abby — whom he’s been engaged to since 2023 — kept asking him questions about episodes before they aired.

Apparently, Patrick says AC wanted to know who dies … and, when he wouldn’t tell her, she followed it up with questions about who Patrick’s character hooked up with in the show.

Benson Boone‘s performance for the opening night of Coachella rocked … and the moment is already being hailed an instant classic thanks to the music royalty who joined him to jam.

Benson blew the minds of thousands when he brought out Queen’s Brian May to play with him … a true shocker since it was only seven months ago May suffered a minor stroke that left him temporarily unable to move his left arm.

But, thanks to the power and magic of Queen … the two rocked the iconic band’s 1975 classic “Bohemian Rhapsody” … which everyone knows is quiet a feat to do well.

As for May … he let the cat out of the bag that something special might be happening when he shared some snaps with BB on Instagram … but still, the duo rockin’ “Bohemian Rhapsody” wasn’t guaranteed!
