REVOLVE Festival has cemented itself as one of the most essential events of festival weekend in the desert. What started as a stylish influencer day party has now fully evolved into its own cultural takeover — part music festival, part fashion week, part social media Olympics. Held at a private estate in Thermal, California, the eighth annual REVOLVE Festival brought its signature mix of music, celebrity, style and content-driven chaos to the desert once again. This year’s Desert Mirage theme leaned into futuristic glamour, with chrome installations, mirrored structures and curated brand activations that turned nearly every corner into a photo opp. But the real draw, as always, was the people. Whether it was Cardi B spraying Whipshots into the crowd mid-performance, LISA of BLACKPINK casually shutting down the scene just by showing up, or Chris Brown, Karrueche Tran and Teyana Taylor catching up together in VIP, there was no shortage of moments that set social feeds ablaze. Here are the 10 best things we saw at REVOLVE Festival Weekend 2025 in the desert.
