The Coachella 2025 weekend was full of memorable performances — and there was even more excitement that happened offstage on the festival grounds and beyond.

Here are all of the starry moments that couldn't be caught on the livestream.

Kendall Jenner's 818 Tequila brought back its 818 Outpost party for the third year in a row. DJ Pee .Wee (aka Anderson .Paak) played as Jenner mingled with guests including friend Hailey Baldwin Bieber, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Alix Earle, Alex Consani and Shaboozey.

Jenner's sister, Kylie Jenner, meanwhile, made a surprise appearance at the Sprinter Vodka Soda & Revolve pool party at The Parker Hotel in Palm Springs.

At the Heineken House, Dylan Efron and Lukas Gage and more were among the celebrities in the crowd.

In the evening, Justin Bieber and wife Hailey bought out the Red Bull Mirage venue on the festival grounds to throw a private party with an A-list guest list including Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Tate McRae, Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire. The intimate party began around midnight, and Justin arrived around 1:30 a.m, says an insider.

Festival performer Yeat was also in attendance, and event napkins read, "Bieber x Yeat."

Hailey curated a menu of custom cocktails, per the insider, including Hailey’s Glazed Margarita, BELLini mixed with Red Bull Summer Edition and SKYBEAM Red Bull vodka. Nobu, a pop-up omakase experience located within the Red Bull Mirage curated by world-renowned Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, served its signature flavors.
