The final day of Outside Lands 2025 closed out the weekend on a high note, delivering a genre-spanning lineup that felt like a victory lap for both the artists and the thousands of fans packing Golden Gate Park. From afternoon sunshine singalongs to after-dark light shows, Sunday’s performances gave festivalgoers one last reason to dance, cheer, and maybe even shed a tear before heading back to reality.
Here are some of our favorite moments from the third and final day of this year’s festival.
Hozier
The Irish singer-songwriter brought his soulful, arena-filling voice to the Lands End stage, weaving through fan favorites and new cuts alike. As the fog rolled in, “Take Me to Church” turned the park into a giant choir, proving why Hozier is one of the most magnetic live performers today.
Anderson .Paak
Closing out the Sutro stage, Anderson .Paak brought pure California energy, blending slick funk grooves with his signature charisma. Backed by the Free Nationals, his set was a non-stop party that felt tailor-made for the festival’s final hours.
Bleachers
Jack Antonoff and company kept spirits high with an anthemic set that had fans jumping and shouting along to every word. “I Wanna Get Better” and “Don’t Take the Money” hit especially hard as the crowd soaked up the last bits of summer daylight.
Bigxthaplug
The Texas rapper delivered one of the day’s most high-octane sets, charging through bass-heavy tracks that rattled the Golden Gate Park. His stage presence was all grit and swagger, turning casual passersby into instant fans.
Rebecca Black
Once a viral pop figure, Rebecca Black showed just how far she’s come, owning the stage with polished electro-pop bangers and playful energy. Her crowd was all smiles, dancing without a care as she turned nostalgia into something bold and fresh.
Glass Animals
The indie-pop favorites turned the main stage into a technicolor dream, pairing lush visuals with their tropical beats. “Heat Waves” was the obvious highlight, sending the audience into a swaying, euphoric haze.
Jorja Smith
Closing out her U.S. festival run, the British R&B star captivated with a silky, understated set. Her voice carried effortlessly over the park, inviting the crowd into her world one smoky note at a time.

If you thought Friday night at the iHeartRadio Music Festival was a wild ride, Saturday night took things to a whole new level. With a lineup that stretched from country superstar Keith Urban to pop sensation Doja Cat, and closing out with The Weeknd’s electrifying performance, it was like playing every card in the deck—and winning big every time. The second night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas had something for every music lover, from the nostalgic beats of New Kids On the Block to the heart-wrenching soul of Hozier. And with special guests and surprise debuts, this show turned out to be a sure bet.
With performances that felt like hitting the jackpot time and time again, the energy in the crowd was electric from the moment New Kids On the Block helped kick things off. The night featured everything from intimate acoustic moments to high-octane pop anthems, and every artist brought their A-game. Las Vegas may be known for its blinding lights and high stakes, but the real magic on Saturday was inside the arena, where music reigned supreme.
New Kids On the Block: And a Nostalgic Crossover
Opening night two was none other than the boy band legends themselves, New Kids On the Block. Decked out in classic ‘90s swagger, they took the crowd on a trip down memory lane with “You Got It (The Right Stuff)” and “Step by Step.” But the real surprise hand came when they brought out Flavor Flav to join them for an unexpected mash-up of “Hangin’ Tough” and Queen’s “We Will Rock You.” It was the perfect mix of nostalgia and Vegas-style showmanship, and the crowd ate it up. For fans of the old school, this was the moment they had been betting on.
Big Sean Represents for the Rappers
Next up was Big Sean, and he didn’t come to play—well, not just to play. Sean tore through a high-energy set that included the live debut of “It Is What It Is” and classics like “Mercy” and “Bounce Back.” Dressed in black leather over a white tee, Sean looked every bit the rap star, and the crowd couldn’t get enough when he dropped “I Don’t F*ck With You.” His performance was as entertaining as ever, reminding everyone that Big Sean’s always a Big Deal when it comes to live performances.
Keith Urban Gives Vegas some Country Sounds
Keith Urban brought his signature mix of country and rock to the stage, opening with “Straight Line.” Dressed in black pants and a red plaid shirt, Urban reminded everyone that country can hold its own in a festival lineup packed with pop and hip-hop stars. “Blue Ain’t Your Color” had the crowd swaying, while “Wasted Time” brought the energy right back up. Urban’s guitar skills were on full display, and he played every note like it was a winning hand.
Victoria Monét: Pure R&B Gold
Victoria Monét made her iHeartRadio debut with a performance that was pure gold. Opening with “Alright,” she delivered an effortlessly smooth R&B set that included crowd favorites like “Ass Like That” and the sultry “Jaguar.” Monét commanded the stage with elegance and swagger, and when she closed out with “On My Mama,” the audience was right there with her. Her performance was a slow burn, building the energy perfectly for the artists to follow.
Chris Martin: Acoustic Heartstrings
Chris Martin’s set brought the crowd to a quiet, intimate place with acoustic versions of Coldplay classics like “A Sky Full of Stars” and “Viva la Vida.” Performing in his signature understated style, Martin reminded the audience why his songs are the soundtrack to so many lives. In a surprise moment, he brought out Elyanna to join him on the track “We Pray,” adding an extra layer of magic to an already stellar set. For a moment, it felt like we were all gathered around a campfire, listening to stories told through song.
Hozier: Soulful and Soaring
Hozier followed with a hauntingly beautiful set that included “Nobody’s Soldier,” “Work Song,” and, of course, his massive hit “Take Me to Church.” Dressed in an all-grey suit, Hozier looked like a man who had wandered straight out of a dream, and his voice matched that vibe perfectly. His performance was a masterclass in soulful vulnerability, making everyone in the crowd feel like they were part of something deeply intimate—even in an arena of thousands.
Halsey: Fiery and Fearless
Halsey, fresh off her engagement to Avan Jogia, hit the stage with fire and passion—and red hair to match. She opened with “Nightmare” and powered through hits like “Without Me” and “Closer.” Dressed in a dress shirt, suspenders, and pants, Halsey looked fierce and fearless, delivering every song with the intensity she’s known for. The raw emotion of “You Should Be Safe” hit hard, but she quickly flipped the energy back up with her closing track, “Ego.” Halsey doesn’t hold back, and Saturday night was no exception.
Doja Cat Delivers
Doja Cat scratched her way to the top with a high-energy set that kept everyone on their feet. She opened with the “WYM Freestyle” before launching into “Demons” and fan-favorite “Say So.” In a white tank top and gray pants, Doja kept it simple—but her performance was anything but. “Agora Hills” had the crowd hyped, and by the time she finished with “Paint the Town Red,” it was clear she had solidified her status as a pop powerhouse. Every move, every beat—Doja Cat owned the night.
The Weeknd: Full Production, Full Perfection
Closing out night two was none other than The Weeknd, and if you thought his performance was just going to be a few songs and done, think again. The full production set featured about 50 dancers, perfectly complementing his stage presence. He opened with his new single “Dancing in the Flames” and kept the energy high with “Take My Breath” and “Blinding Lights.” When he closed with “Dancing in the Flames” again—this time the full version—it felt like he had taken the crowd through a journey and brought them back again. It was the perfect final act for a night that had already seen so many highlights.
And That’s a Wrap
Night two of the iHeartRadio Music Festival was everything fans could have hoped for and more. With a lineup that delivered hit after hit, it was a fitting end to an unforgettable weekend. From The Weeknd’s fiery finale to Keith Urban’s country-rock swagger, there was something for everyone. Here’s to another jackpot weekend of music magic in Las Vegas!

Hozier’s sold-out performance at Breese Stevens Field in Madison, WI, as part of his “Unreal Unearth Tour” was a night filled with electric energy, both from the weather and the music. After a brief delay due to an incoming thunderstorm, the skies cleared, and Hozier took the stage, ready to Madison to church and beyond.
Hozier’s headlining set kicked off with “Jackie and Wilson” from his 2014 self-titled debut, setting the tone for a night where every song felt like a journey through Hozier’s ethereal soundscapes. Madison’s Breese Stevens Field, usually home to soccer matches, transformed into a sanctuary for fans of all ages. The venue, just a stone’s throw from the Wisconsin State Capitol, provided a scenic backdrop, although some fans opted for a more comfortable view from their condo balconies nearby. Hozier even joked about crashing for an impromptu after-party, a testament to his ability to connect with the audience.
One highlight of the night was his performance of “Nobody’s Soldier”, a song released just yesterday, from his upcoming “Unaired EP.” The crowd was all in, singing along as if they’d known the song for years.
Midway through the set, Hozier treated the audience to “Too Sweet,” his current massive single, which was met with raucous applause. And of course, no Hozier concert would be complete without “Take Me To Church,” which closed the regular set and had the crowd singing along with every word, reminding us all why we first fell in love with his music.
The encore was a rollercoaster of emotions. “Cherry Wine” set a romantic tone that saw two fans getting engaged mid-song—a magical moment that only added to the song’s tender atmosphere. Following that, “Unknown/Nth” and “Nina Cried Power” brought the energy back up, culminating in “Work Song,” which he performed with his opener, Allison Russell. Their voices blended seamlessly, closing the night on a powerful note.
In the end, the night was a perfect blend of new songs, fan favorites, and unexpected surprises—all in a venue that felt both intimate and grand.
