I'm guessing something about how DM - Bey - Ye would be too good. But it's probably not even as good as last year. Or it's as good, like katy alluded to.
Kanye > Kendrick, but Radiohead >> Depeche Mode, imo.

Gorillaz show announced for Brazil in March. Glad they'll still be playing next year because if I don't see them on this album cycle I'll be a sad sad person
South American shows are a predictor, but not a guarantee. Only one of the top 6 in the Lolla SAs were on the lineup this year.
I'd say it's decently more likely now, but not a lock. They're probably now one of the ~3-5 most likely headliners I would say.
Who else do you figure for that 3-5?
I'd roughly have this would be my top 5 right now:
-Depeche Mode: Yes, they're playing a bunch of shows in LA in the fall, but they did that in '05 before headlining in '06. Goldenvoice has been trying to book them again, they've hinted at "big spring shows", they're in Europe/SA in the spring so would be a big "end of tour" show, they are a soolid compliment with Beyonce as a co-#1 for the older crowd (like Radiohead last year), just think they have a good chance. -Nine Inch Nails: Goldenvoice relationship, more music on the way, would fit "third headliner" role nicely -Frank Ocean: Same as NIN, except would put that his new show seems curated for a bigger festival run than he did this year, so imagine he broadly tours and/or makes up Sasquatch/Hangout next year -Gorillaz - Spring South American shows, strong GV relationship despite a LN tour, fall shows getting good reviews -Chance the Rapper - teasing new music already, practically played every fest but Coachella since '13 so would be a Kendrick-in-'17 type new music / victory lap double feature
Other than that, I'm not aware of anything but circumstantial evidence for other headliners at this point. Does GV bury the hatchet with Pearl Jam and Foo Fighters? Does GV finally pay up for Smashing Pumpkins reunion? Can Lana or Arctic Monkeys or The National be the "third" headliner? Is there another big name hanging around since Desert Trip took a year off?
I don't think it's that obvious, am I missing something?
95% - Beyonce 40% - Depeche Mode 30% - Gorillaz 25% - NIN 25% - Frank Ocean 20% - Chance the Rapper ~65% - Someone other than those
Is that fair?
The fact that Gorillaz are scheduled in South America around April is evidence enough imo. Depeche Mode simply do not fit the bill of "current" or "indie" rock act. I'm also still not convinced Frank is a Coachella-level headliner yet. There's really no reason to bring in Chance until the next album.

I believe the assumption is that if Chance was booked, he'd probably also end up putting out a new album, similar to Kendrick this year.
Agree with you on Frank. I'd probably say the same of NIN but that could go either way

Wait, so you're saying DM son't fit the bill of a current Coachella headliner, but also say DM-Bey-Gorillaz is a 100% lock? I also think it is in GV's best long-term interest to "promote" Frank to headliner, so while it may be a minor stretch, I can see them do it. And I'm assuming Chance headlines next year or 2019 depending on new music, but, yes he'd only be booked with new music.

Wouldn't Bey be 100%?
Gorillaz-Beyonce-DM is a guaranteed ticket from me. There's hardly a festival anymore with 3 headliners I haven't seen before.
I'd say there's a 1 in 20 chance she decides not to do it, has health issues, says she needs more time before getting back to performing, etc. I think it's a done deal, but you never know.

There are going to be multiple headliners touring around that time in South America with the Lollas so that’s not good enough evidence to single one out. Also, Depeche Mode would be more of a legacy act than strictly current or indie, much like GNR, AC/DC, The Cure etc.

Depeche Mode is a legacy act and Gorillaz are not - which is why I think they would grab Gorillaz. I also just think Gorillaz are the kind of act GV would bring back. They are clearly on team Albarn and who knows when they'll be active again. I'm aware other bands will be active in south/Central America, but probably not one that has already played as multiple variations and had their own Goldenvoice festival.
