The Marías Mesmerize Coachella with a Dreamy Spectacle

Among the many shimmering moments of Coachella 2025, few sets captured pure magic quite like The Marías on the Outdoor Theater stage. Delivering an absolute spectacle of sound, style, and atmosphere, the band reminded festivalgoers exactly why their star continues to rise with meteoric grace.

From the instant they took the stage, the energy was palpable. A sea of fans packed tightly beneath the desert sky, ready to be swept away by The Marías’ signature blend of dreamy indie pop and sultry psychedelic soul. And the band wasted no time delivering, leaning hard into their hits and fan favorites with a performance that radiated joy, confidence, and heart.

Frontwoman María Zardoya was a vision — her voice nothing short of angelic, floating effortlessly above the lush instrumentation. It’s the kind of voice that seems to shimmer in the air, delicate yet commanding, and under the warm twilight of Coachella’s open sky, it felt downright otherworldly. The rest of the band matched her at every turn, sounding impossibly tight while still leaving room for moments of breezy improvisation and textured nuance.

The staging itself was hypnotic, with lighting and visuals that enhanced the band's ethereal aesthetic without ever overshadowing the raw musicality at its core. Every transition, every beat drop, every swell of sound felt considered and alive, turning the Outdoor Theater into a temporary dream world where time seemed to slow and the outside world melted away.

Perhaps the most striking thing about the set was the overwhelming sense of gratitude and connection radiating from the stage. Between songs, María’s genuine appreciation for the moment — for the crowd, for the festival, for being exactly where they were — echoed across the desert, and the audience responded with roaring, unrelenting support.

In a weekend bursting with spectacle and sound, The Marías managed to create something intimate, intoxicating, and utterly unforgettable. It wasn’t just a performance — it was a feeling. One that lingered long after the final note.
