Unfortunately. Heard from the same person who gave me last years headliners, and was the first to know about LCD a few years ago way way before anyone else. Some of yall will know who that is.
ALEX YOUNG is officially confirming Beyonce - The WEAKnd - The Chainsmokers as Coachella 2018 headliners????

if those are truly the headliners then god damnit im glad i was able to go the two years i did. that would easily be the worst set of headliners for this fest ever. Even Queen B couldn't redeem that.

The Weeknd headlining wouldn't surprise me. in 2015, jack white was listed as the saturday headliner but The Weeknd closed out the main stage after him and the crowd was one of the biggest of the three days. It's definitely the Coachella audience as of right now.

i think this was due to the fact Jack White wanted a longer set time on the main stage by playing earlier

If there's anyone who hasn't gone before - I wouldn't let the headliners deter you from going. Wait for the full lineup obviously, and even then, keep it in consideration. It has the best amenities of any festival, including the location. It's amazing but this festivals headliners can almost be irrelevant.

Perhaps but at the end of the day, White's audience wasn't nearly as big as the Weeknd's was.
Personally, i would totally perfer to see an audience like Jack White over the Weekend but in terms of the people who attend Coachella nowadays, i'd be in minority.
You guys can all skip Coachella that’s fine. Just stay home. I will have more room to dance. The vibes will be like never before. Everyone I meet will be a positive experience and we will all talk about how it’s our favorite year yet. I will probably see my favorite live music performance of all time as well.

Wow shit headliners for my taste. Not going this year as is but regardless the real magic is in the Yuma and Mojave. Only was at the Main for Kendrick, xx, and Radiohead. Didn't go to the outdoor, Sonora, or Sahara and went to one show in the Gobi. Headliners, especially at Coachella, are not the most important thing about the festival.

If going to this was in the cards for me this year, I would not be too deterred by these headliners alone. Not nearly as good as the last two years for sure, but I think they’re roughly on par with 2013 and 2015 and I had a great time both of those years. (And before anyone says anything, yes, I’d much rather see The Weeknd than Jack White’s Honky Tonk Explosion).
Headliners are binary, either you want to see them or you don’t. At a fest like Coachella where there’s counter programming, you usually only need one headliner you want to see to feel like you got your money’s worth. Beyoncé would be that this year. AC/DC was that in 2015. Blur in 2013.
That said, Outkast was the only headliner I cared about in 2014 and I ultimately unloaded my ticket because there wasn’t enough in the undercard for me.

"Headliners are irrelevant" for current year, sure, I guess you can argue that there will - most of the time - be an interesting tent set at the time of a crap headliner. If they put The Hold Steady in a tent on midnight vs. The Weeknd and Thursday vs. The Chainsmokers, I'll be happy for the night.
But, it becomes a booking self-fulfilling prophecy that rolls down hill. People talk about the "changing demographics of Coachella" but in the last four year headliners have included Blur, The Stone Roses, Arcade Fire, Outkast, AC/DC, Jack White, LCD Soundsystem, Guns N Roses, and Radiohead. Those are major, alternative or rock oriented names that have balanced out any talk of the festival becoming a pure mainstream commodity. After Coachella gets berated in the alternative press for this year's lineup and artists see the pure mainstream appeal at the top, it's going to be interesting to see if it's harder to book up-and-coming alternative acts.

We get it dude, your life no longer has meaning because there isn’t a rock band headlining Coachella in 2018. Go ahead and self-immolate over it and get it over with.

can't believe you sold your ticket and missed Outkast's epic rock and roll throwdown.

Do you really think Coachella gives a rats ass what the "alternative press" says about them? I'm sure they're crying into their giant piles of money right now.

My whole point is they don't care, so can do what they want, which is catering to more and more mainstream audiences since that's where they make the most money. But it's disappointing for people that liked going to Coachella for what it had been known for f+15 years.

I'm giving an honest critique of the festival in 2018. If the reading you want to take out of it is I'm about to kill myself and my life no longer has meaning then ... sure?

I'm still planning on going. The headliners do suck hard, especially compared to last year, but I'm not really fazed by it. I might have skipped Lady Gaga/Beyonce and Kendrick last year, anyway.

Come on guy, you know I meant that *proverbially* or whatever.
