Coachella adds María Zaydoya
Coachella surprised Weekend 1 by adding María Zaydoya (of The Marías) performing with her side project Not For Radio — organizers also tapped over 75 local restaurants and bars for the festival food program and will host Jim Denevan’s 'Outstanding in the Field' farm‑to‑table dinner in the Rose Garden. Expect comfort-forward shoe recs too — roundups are highlighting Birkenstock and Reebok for festival style. ( )
Her set has been placed in the Sonora tent during Weekend 1, though organisers say the specific day and start time remain TBA. (desertsun.com) Zaydoya’s solo project released the album Melt on Oct. 10, 2025 and has supported the record with a promotional tour, making the Coachella appearance part of an ongoing Not For Radio run. (rollingstone.com) Festival organisers’ food roster has ballooned this year—Time Out counts the slate at more than 100 restaurants, bars and pop-ups across the grounds rather than a small selection. (timeout.com) High-profile activations called out in the rollout include a reservation-only Nobu omakase takeover of the Red Bull Mirage, Churrería El Moro churros by the Ferris wheel, and vendor appearances from The Boiling Crab, Softies Burger, Dave’s Hot Chicken, Kogi and Prince St. Pizza across the Terrace and Street Food Alley. (timeout.com) Outstanding in the Field will mount its long communal table for six nights across both weekends beginning Friday, April 10, with Weekend 1 chefs named to include Michael Beckman, Alan Sanz and Jonathan Harris. (culturedmag.com) Each Rose Garden dinner seats roughly 200 guests, includes a welcome cocktail and four-course, wine‑paired family-style meal, requires a festival pass, and has seating slated to begin promptly at 6:00 p.m. with tickets and packages listed through Coachella/AXS.
