When it comes to delivering an unforgettable performance, Megan Thee Stallion never misses — and her Coachella 2025 set was no exception. The Hot Girl Coach hit the main stage on Sunday, April 13, and instantly turned the desert into her personal dance floor and throne. From the choreography to surprise appearances by some of the biggest names in music, Megan gave fans everything they needed and more. But just as the performance was reaching its peak, things took an unexpected turn. Technical issues throughout the set led to a chaotic — and silent — ending that left fans both hyped and heartbroken. So, what really happened during Megan’s Coachella set? Why did her sound cut out at the most crucial moment? And how did she still manage to slay despite the chaos? Let’s break it all down.
Megan hit the Coachella main stage with serious headliner energy, even though she technically wasn’t one. From the moment she stepped out, she was serving high-impact choreography, nonstop charisma, and a rapid-fire lineup of fan-favorite bangers. The crowd couldn’t get enough — and honestly, same. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, Megan casually brought out Queen Latifah, Victoria MonĂ©t, and Ciara like it was no big deal (it was).Â
Queen Latifah joined her for a powerful performance of “Plan B” and “U.N.I.T.Y.,” ending in a queen-to-queen hug; Victoria Monét made a dramatic entrance — literally flipped onto the stage by Megan’s dancers — before delivering flawless vocals on “Spin” and “On My Mama,” complete with a playful, flirty moment that had the crowd screaming. But the loudest reaction of the night? That went to Ciara, who shocked everyone by appearing to perform her early-2000s classic “Goodies” in full, shouting, “I love you Meg and I’m so proud of you!” as the two embraced. So far, so legendary, right?
Although Megan’s set delivered unforgettable moments, it was also marked by recurring mic and sound issues that popped up throughout the performance. At one point, she even called it out in true Hot Girl fashion, yelling, “Somebody better come out here and fix my motherf**king microphone!” But the real chaos hit at the end, just as she was about to perform her track “Mamushi.” The visuals rolled, the livestream beat kicked in, but on the festival grounds? Complete silence. Confused fans started booing, while others chanted, “Megan! Megan! Megan!” Still, she powered through — rapping and dancing without sound, fully committed, mic off and all. It was a moment that proved her professionalism and star power, even in the face of a technical meltdown. Ultimately, the audio never returned, and Megan wrapped up the set with a bow, leaving the stage after shouting, “Run ‘Mamushi’ back for the motherf**king hotties” — seemingly confirming that her set was abruptly cut by festival organizers.
Naturally, fans in the desert and online had thoughts. Theories about why her sound was cut range from tight set times (Post Malone was scheduled next at 10:25 p.m.) to technical malfunctions. Still, it had everyone wondering: Why didn’t she get the headliner treatment she clearly earned?
Even with sound issues and a forced early exit, Megan’s 2025 Coachella set proved that she’s one of the best performers out there. She brought star power, surprises, humor, and resilience — and reminded everyone why the Hotties ride for her so hard. Whether you were at the Polo Grounds or watching from bed, there’s no denying it: Megan Thee Stallion is that girl, mic or no mic.
