Festival season is officially underway, and the first weekend has already delivered a flurry of celebrity sightings and nonstop soirées. Alongside Coachella, the Revolve Festival—hosted by the influencer- and celebrity-loved fashion giant—remains a top draw, luring boldfaced names to Palm Springs for a multi-day spree of performances, open bars, photo ops, and late-night revelry. This year’s musical lineup, which included Lil Wayne, Tyga, and Cardi B, matched the star-studded guest list, solidifying the festival as one of the weekend’s most in-demand events.
The festivities kicked off Thursday with a cocktail party at The Parker’s speakeasy, hosted by Kendall Jenner and FWRD. By Friday, early birds teed off at a golf tournament alongside Dwyane Wade, while Kylie Jenner got the annual Revolve pool party started. The theme this year? Sprinters and sports—complete with beach volleyball and a mountain of nachos.
But the main attraction, as always, was Revolve’s namesake music festival, staged at a sprawling private estate near the Coachella grounds. In between sets, guests bounced between activations: a Red Bull cocktail bar, carnival games hosted by luxury accessory brand Vivrelle, Ole Henriksen lip treatments, and a desert oasis lounge courtesy of Affirm.
Still, all eyes remained on the stage—especially from VIP sections packed with famous faces. After performances from Quinn Blake, DJ Lex, and Gelo, Tyga delivered a high-energy set before jumping into the crowd to watch Cardi B alongside Chris Brown. Cardi’s performance was a crowd-pleaser, full of cheeky banter and surprise moments—including handing out shots of Whipshots, her alcohol-infused whipped cream, straight to the audience.
There was reason for extra celebration: Cardi was also there to unveil her forthcoming fashion and beauty collaboration with Revolve. Her look for the event? Custom, of course, by the brand’s in-house atelier. “The clothing brand is coming first,” she told Vogue, teasing that the beauty line will center around hair products, though she’s taking her time to perfect it.
As the sun set, Lil Wayne took the mic for a show-stopping finale, with Wiz Khalifa spotted singing along to nearly every word. And while that may have signaled the end of the festival proper, many headed straight to a raucous Pizzaslime afterparty—putting a final exclamation point on another unforgettable Revolve weekend.
