LANA DEL REY WILL BE THE FEMALE SUB-HEADLINER NOT HALSEY. You guys can all stop worrying about that one. Even if you don't like Lana. Lana is 100% better than Halsey.
She probably would have held out on some of those socal shows too if she were already booked for that kind of role. You guys are setting the bar low considering the caliber of subheadliners that normally play this festival. #3 just feels right at this point. Especially with acts like ATCQ, VW, QOTSA, Alt-J, Modest Mouse, & The National/Chainsmokers/1975 out there.

I feel like the 1975 has stayed the same amount of popular since the last time they played other than that one song of theirs on the radio. I don't think they'd be a #2 but I see them in a 2nd to last on outdoor or third to last on main. Also they downgraded on size of venues in SoCal. More near Coachella 2016 they played the Forum and SDSU amphitheater in SD but most recently played Greek and still SDSU amphitheater

I was joking with those last two names. I was only referencing them because i don't see them all that different than Halsey as far placement. The former names will all be active and are all realistic subs if booked.
Chance for instance, could still realistically sub this fest. This board has began to rush headliners and subs imo.

Chance is a headliner, not a sub. Look at his billing at other festivals.

He won't negotiate a contract this summer/fall to sub next spring anywhere.
These statements are so dumb. Chance The Rapper will play your kid's birthday party if you pay him enough.
The Weeknd dropped out of a +$1m contract to headline Lolla because he - reportedly - didn't want to be billed below Chance, who refused to be moved from #1 on the poster. These guys care a lot about billing and I'm sure if Coachella won't offer him a headlining slot, he'll say forget it and sell out the Forum three times instead.

Speaking of all this, I was just checking to see how Chance's tour was selling and it looks like they just released a bunch of premium seats at a lot of his shows. A couple of the venues I checked only have Pit tickets available.
Remember how long it took that guy Kendrick Lamar to headline this fest? Pump the breaks, y'all.
In the grand scheme of things it didn't take him that long at all.
That's true. It just might take another year or two. It just felt like Kendrick had found his place among the other upper echelon hip-hop acts picked to headline. Chance - while we'll on his way - isn't on the that Dre, Jay, Kanye, Drake level yet imo. This festival has been less quick to just dish out those spots to guys like J. Cole and so it might take more than just a new album to materialize.

Do you honestly believe Chance The Rapper would turn down headliner money just because his font size is smaller than Beyonce's at Coachella? Kanye West still plays weddings.

Do you honestly believe Coachella would pay him headliner money to have him on the second line?

I don't know what you're saying. They don't give headliner money to sub-headliners. Do I believe he would turn down a sub-headlining spot like Future and Travis Scott got this year? Yes. See my above post.
I'm not a fan, but the dude sold out two nights at the Hollywood Bowl this fall. He's gonna want headliner money and headliner status to play festivals in the future, or he'd just continue selling out 20k arenas if he wants to play a market.
It would be a very odd move to go from headlining (top 3) at ACL, being #1 at Lolla, to sub-headlining Coachella the spring your long awaited debut gets released, no?
They could always just save some money and book one of the most important acts in hip-hop history to finally perform in that spot instead. They just happen to be playing their other two festivals as well.

I have no idea how much Coachella pays their subheadliners, but I'm confident if his booking fee is met he will play. The whole "he won't negotiate unless he headlines" thing is played out, specially for someone of his stature

I think we mostly agree I just don't see a scenario where Chance The Rapper refuses to subheadline Coachella because it could hurt his image or whatever. I could 100% see him turning down the offer because he could make more money elsewhere.
Personally, I don't think Chance plays without a new show/album and I don't think that would be ready until 2019 or 2020. He works slow, it took him over 3 years between acid rap and coloring book.
