21 Pilots, Calvin Harris, and The Chainsmokers have still never headlined any LiveNation festivals. Hangout and Coachella are booked by the same guy/company. Maybe they need better taste.
Serious question... did The Chainsmokers album getting absolutely destroyed by critics affect them at all? I know they're still huge but I feel like their popularity peaked sometime last year. I could be totally off base, but I remember when Roses and Closer and Kanye were everywhere and I just listened to their most popular song from their new album on spotify and I don't think I've ever even heard it till now. I thought they kinda became a meme even in the EDM community.
That garbage song with Chris Martin and one of the one's they did on SNL are both pretty big hits and are constantly in top-40 rotation.
lol, says the guy trying really hard to rile people up by suggesting that his favored music industry conglomerate has better taste than his disfavored music industry conglomerate

He might have been the only 30 something at Ezoo not just there to sell coke. He obviously has taste.
You know what kind of arguments really smart people always make? Slippery slope arguments.
GV had Calvin Harris headline, so that means they'll keep slipping down the slope to the Chainsmokers. Next thing you know you're all the way at the bottom of the slope and Steve Aoki is headlining Coachella 2019. See how that works?
These are the same smart people who told you that gay marriage will inevitably lead to people marrying dogs because there's no avoiding the slide down that slope once you've greased the hill.
Enjoy your future of watching Aoki headlining while standing next to a bearded man cuddling with his German Shepherd wife. Don't say you weren't warned.
Just think, the same guy who booked Portishead, Prince, Daft Punk, and countless reunions chose Florida Georgia Line to headline a fest he books. No taste at all.
We all know if RandomRedditUserX posted "You know I usually have good info, my buddy told me GV got the Oasis reunion and a Portishead / Aphex Twin co-headline to go with Beyonce" we'd have Launchy going "HEADLINERS DON'T MATTER! EVERYONE KNOWS THAT! HAVE FUN WITH YOUR SHIT UNDERCARD DUE TO THE HUGE PRICE YOU'RE PAYING YOUR HEADLINERS!"

Except you dont have Portishead/Aphex Twin, Oasis, and Beyonce... You got Starboy and #Selfie

I just looked at the LiveNation homepage and it told me that Sasquatch is a LiveNation festival. So then I looked at the Sasquatch poster for 2017 and it told me that 21 Pilots headlined.
Can you explain this discrepancy with your statement above?

I was inaccurate and forgot about Sasquatch. I have been trolling this thread because it is full of assholes who troll me non stop. I honestly do not give a shit about Coachella. I do find it hysterical that people who scream about its superiority all year long are now probably getting one of the worst set of headliners in recent memory though. I dont think LiveNation is superior to AEG or vice versa.
If you want me to speak honestly, I think all these festivals are homogenized to the point that no major difference exists between any of them beyond location anymore. I don't even think any gap exists between AEG and LiveNation. They all book the same shit for the most part. The exceedingly fewer differences in lineup have more to do with: tour routing, budgets, the size of the festival, the market they are catering to, in the case of this years potential Coachella headliners; their sponsors wishes (which is a first and concerns the hell out of me), and availability than anyone's fucking "taste."
