Depeche Mode The National - Arctic Monkeys - St. Vincent
Beyoncé Lana del Rey - The 1975 - Aphex Twin
The Weeknd The Chainsmokers - Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fleet Foxes
Insert Sahara headliners
I heard Aphex turned down a stupid amount of money to play somewhere else. I don’t remember where though. Regardless I would be really excited about this
Cant believe Lana is playing arenas. Wonder if this will sell worse than Halsey's current tour
Is Halsey's tour doing poorly? I remember Iggy Azalea attempting to play arenas and cancelling the entire tour a few years ago.
Yes, the whole upper deck at the Forum is essentially still available and tickets just went on Gilt LA. Can't imagine it's selling much better in non-LA stops.
Pretty confident that she won't be booked and if she is, doubt she's higher than she was in 2016.
Depeche Mode Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Kygo - Fleet Foxes - HAIM - Jamiorquai - RL Grime - The War on Drugs
Beyonce The National - J Cole - Alabama Shakes - Miguel - Tyler, the Creator - Post Malone - Grizzly Bear
Frank Ocean - Lana Del Rey Arctic Monkeys - ODESZA - N.E.R.D. - St. Vincent - Khalid - Hardwell
EDIT: Young Thug for Tyler, Grizzly Bear for Jawbreaker. A lot of options for next year.
I think J.Cole would at least be the second artist listed for his day.
Edit: Also Young Thug is in jail right now for drug charges. But I don't know all the details
I thought the same about Future; he's (probably) more commercially successful and (definitely) more critically acclaimed then J Cole and was third on his day last year too.
Think in a year with so many sub options - similar to last year - the big rap name on the lineup gets the third to last main slot Future had last year.
They were billed 4th and 6th, respectively, at Lolla 2016, and this was before Future dropping two number one albums in 2017 and releasing the biggest hit either of them has had (Mask Off has >90m more spotify listens than any J Cole song). And speaking of Spotify, Future has almost double the monthly listeners as J Cole - 19m vs 11m.
They both are massively popular, arena selling rap artists. I'm not going to die on a hill for Future, but if I were booking a festival, I wouldn't see much of a difference between them. So I think either second or third is justified for J Cole.
If I was re-mocking, I'd probably leave him off though.
Future has four releases (81, 80, 80, 78) with higher Metacritic scores than the top album of J Cole's career (75) and a higher overall average. Not that they're the last word on rap, but J Cole's highest pitchfork score is 7.3, while DS2, HNDRXX, FUTURE, EVOL, etc. have all received 7.3s or higher.
As not a fan of neither, Future gets more critical acclaim.
And neither would his fans, that's the difference between J Cole and Future.
Brand New fans would jump off a cliff to their death if they got to hear 10 seconds of an unreleased demo on the way down, but that doesn't mean they should be headlining Coachella.
J Cole and Future have the same broad level of popularity, I don't think J Cole's fans being more die-hard is relevant between him being headliner, second, or third on his day.
Judging by social media (and my own experience), YYYs tickets to their small shows in LA/NYC promoted by GV sold out instantaneously. This is some serious blue balls teasing if they aren't making the Coachella & Pano/Gov Ball rounds next year (or at least coming back to play large shows).
