Details about the specific activities involved in the 'Ferris Wheel Takeover' remain unclear, but it is anticipated to be a significant part of the festival.

The Weeknd has a rich history with Coachella, having headlined in 2018 and 2022, and is known for delivering emotionally charged performances.

Since its release, the 22-track album has topped the Billboard 200, showcasing The Weeknd's artistic evolution and featuring collaborations with notable artists.

Despite his ventures into film, The Weeknd has expressed a desire to continue his music career while exploring new creative challenges.

Directed by Trey Edward Shults, the film features The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, alongside Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan, and will be distributed by Lionsgate.

This Coachella appearance marks The Weeknd's first solo performance at the festival in two years, following a surprise guest appearance in 2023.

The Ferris wheel at Coachella will be transformed to reflect the film's themes of insomnia and identity, with The Weeknd teasing fans through an eerie promotional image.

This film is based on The Weeknd's sixth studio album, also titled Hurry Up Tomorrow, which debuted in January 2025 and has received critical acclaim.

The first weekend of Coachella 2025 also featured surprise performances from artists like Lorde and Billie Eilish, adding to the festival's excitement.

The Weeknd is set to headline Coachella 2025 with a unique "Ferris Wheel Takeover" event, promoting his upcoming psychological thriller, Hurry Up Tomorrow, which will be released on May 16, 2025.

In addition to his Coachella plans, The Weeknd has announced a new North American stadium tour, the 'After Hours Til Dawn' tour, starting on May 9, 2025.

Hurry Up Tomorrow follows a fictionalized version of The Weeknd as he grapples with insomnia and existential crises, further blurring the lines between his music and film career.
