For his 2025 Coachella set, Ty Dolla $ign transformed the Sahara Stage into a stark prison yard, turning the performance into a deeply personal narrative.
The stage was enclosed by chain-link fencing and stark industrial textures, creating a raw environment that framed the emotional core of the show: a live duet with his incarcerated brother, Big TC. Lighting cut sharply through haze, alternating between cold, unforgiving washes and sudden bursts of warmth, amplifying the tension between isolation and release.
Guest appearances from YG, Tyga, Wiz Khalifa, and Leon Thomas shifted the set from intimate storytelling to collective celebration, but the central aesthetic remained unflinching. The result was one of Coachella’s most striking moments—an environment where personal history, performance, and spectacle collided.
