Lady Gaga goes viral after mic malfunction at Coachella 2025

Lady Gaga’s second-weekend Coachella set on April 18, 2025, went viral after her microphone malfunctioned during her performance.

While singing her second song, “Abracadabra,” the headset mic began to cut out. Gaga continued singing and dancing without pause, then transitioned to a handheld mic before returning later with a new headset.

Addressing the incident during a piano interlude, Gaga told the audience, “I’m sorry my mic was broken for a second. At least you know I sing live. I guess all we can do is our best, and I’m certainly giving you my best tonight.” The technical glitch did not disrupt the remainder of her set.

Gaga first performed at Coachella 2025 on April 11 during the festival’s opening weekend, marking her return after previously stepping in for Beyoncé in 2017. Her weekend one set lasted nearly two hours and featured music from her new album Mayhem, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in March.

During both weekends, Gaga performed a range of hits, including the Oscar-winning song “Shallow.” Introducing it, she said, “You know, since the last time I played Coachella, I’ve had some songs come out. But one of them, I think back to being here and remember how special it was that I got to perform here. And we filmed a movie, a movie that changed my life, helped me say something I hadn’t said before” (via Deadline.)

Before beginning “Shallow,” she added, “I’m so excited to sing this for you here tonight, I couldn’t wait. I hope you sing it as loud as you can. There ain’t nothing like you. Come on, let’s get far from the shallow.”
