Couchella vs. Coachella: Who Really Won Weekend 1?

It’s Coachella szn, but this year I traded the desert dust for my couch and a killer livestream setup—welcome to Staychella 2025. In this week’s episode of Educate Your Earbuds, I dive into the hotly debated topic of is Couchella actually better than the full Coachella experience?And that’s not all! If you’re headed to the desert for weekend 2 or plan to live stream it, I deep dive on the must see performances and who you could easily swap out. From Lady Gaga’s pitch-perfect performance that made me feel all the things, to nostalgic icons like Missy Elliott and Green Day showing us they still run the stage. Plus, I get into the high-octane energy of sets by Megan Thee Stallion, Mau P, and Sammy Virji—and what hit different from home vs. IRL.Whether you were front row in Indio or in your pajamas on the couch, this episode has the festival recap you didn’t know you needed. Let’s unpack the highlights, lowlights, and whether staying in might just be the new going out.Thanks for listening!
