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.
Clearly on team Albarn despite not booking Gorillaz for a single one of their festivals this year, even though they were available and playing a lot of dates? Not seeing it.

It would have been kinda tough to book Gorillaz when they didn't start touring until two months after Coachella ended.
Which is when all the other GV festivals are. Which they still didn't get booked for.

I mean, if you really want to get into this, Goldenvoice actually produced Demon Dayz, but whatever.
Not quite the same as a standalone festival, but fair point.
I'm not saying GV doesn't like Gorillaz. Just don't think there's a lot to back up the idea that they're throwing a bunch of weight behind them, or that they're somehow likely for Coachella a year after a slightly underwhelming album, off of which GV didn't book them for any of their other festivals that were right in the tour's wheelhouse.

If we're to believe launchy then it sounds more like GV tried to book them and they declined. I would imagine they'd be singing a different tune when it comes to Coachella
Incorrect - it's actually the AC and little beer garden in the Yuma.
Where the hell is that beer garden. Luckily my friend snuck in a full liter water bottle of Franzia into the Yuma Saturday, but when I heard the news there was a beer garden in there after the festival I was very sad that I never found it.

It was in the back behind the left side of the stage this year.
I didn't think a trio with Beyoncé could look so bad. You'd have to imagine a festival that will automatically sell out won't have to rely on the chainsmokers as headliners. Isn't their moment over anyways? I tend to be relatively ignorant as to what "EDM" artists are huge at the moment but I feel like they haven't really been on the radar the last year or so. Even if these are the headliners, Coach will still probably have a definitively better lineup than Bonnaroo, which is sad. Still, it's tough to imagine them going from one of the best headlining trios of recent memory to that. I'm calling bullshit for the time being

They’ve definitely been on the radar the last year or so in a big way.

I guess I just haven't heard much of them since the album they put out. I'm only 22 and yet so immensely out of touch. What is 50 going to feel like...?

He does have some legit sources but for now I’d still take this with a grain of salt. Not that he may be lying, just that his source could be incorrect. Lots of things could still change from now until January.

Man, if COACHELLA's headliners are that bad, I can't fucking WAIT to see what THE BONNAROO gives us. Yikes.
It does make the headliner landscape for 2018 look bleak. Coach does set the bar in the U.S, and if they can't even scrap together a decent trio of headliners, that's a concerning.

If this ends up being true, my theory is that PT purposefully went this route to grab trio of pop-friendly acts so they could afford to jam pack the undercard with more special acts that they normally wouldn't have room for. Stuff they'd want to book over the more popular shitty acts. Book Beyoncé, The Weeknd and The Chainsmokers so they can include Aphex Twin, Jamiroquai, Misfits, Soulwax, Jawbreaker etc. Get some great rare artists while still meeting the bottom line with sales with those headliners. I'd be willing to sacrifice good headliners for names like that. PT did say in an interview he wanted to experiment more with the lineup next year so perhaps this is what he meant.
I don't think this would be telling of what the rest of the US festivals will have available, this could possibly be Coachella going a different route than usual... if this is true and that's a big IF.
