Coachella Paydays: How Much Do Headliners & Artists Make? See Who Earned the Most in History!

We’re two months away from the 2025 Coachella Music Festival and we’re so excited to see all of the acts performing in the desert.

Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Post Malone are all headliners with acts like Missy Elliott, Charli XCX, Megan Thee Stallion, Jennie, Anitta, and more on the lineup as well.

While the stars who headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show usually are not paid for their work, the artists who appear at Coachella make big bucks.

The headliners seem to make a LOT more than the rest of the artists on the lineup.

In recent years, Big Sean even noted how he performed to the same crowd size as headliner Harry Styles, “except he got paid way, way, way, way more than me.”
