Why the Chainsmokers though? There's really no reason to book them. They don't them to sell tickets and that's really the only reason anyone would book them. Even Calvin played Coachella before, multiple times before headlining dating back to 2008. They'd be the laughing stock of the entire festival scene (until every other festival books them too).

Don't understand why it's so far fetched for the biggest EDM act in the country to be headlining Coachella, as if The Chainsmokers wouldn't have the biggest crowd by far regardless of bill placement

I just prefer to tough it out in a relationship when my significant other comes home drunk one night and takes a shit on the dining room table. I just continually tell myself there's no other girl I love as much as my girlfriend, even all the women I've never met.

Mostly because they'd be sharing the bill with two other pop acts - which is something they've never done before.
Can't one of you with actual info just tell us the real headliners? Or at least confirm The Chainsmokers aren't headlining so we don't have to debate this for weeks.
Are you implying that you think they booked someone bigger than Beyoncé?
They had Radiohead to pair with her in 2017... I think they get someone in that stratosphere again in 2018 is what Im thinking.
Beyoncé is bigger than Radiohead by pretty much every measure. But yeah, assuming these headliners are incorrect or the Chainsmokers aren't actually headlining, they could definitely have another huge name. Foo Fighters for instance.

Because this kind of low hanging fruit EDM headliner booking is there every year, and the only year they took the bait was 2016 when they also gave us two massive rock/indie reunions (and with an act that had played Coachella 3-4 times to larger crowds).
Nobody's doubting that the Chainsmokers, Swedish House Goobers, and Kaskade could headline next year and 2/3 of the crowd would be all "YAAAASSS THIS YEAR IS EVERYTHINGGG" but they've seemed happy to put the big EDM acts as subs or even this year scaling back big names like Garrix to the Sahara.
As others have said, its going to leak very soon if this is really true, so might as well spit it out Launch & Co. This is also coming from the guy who mentioned a dozen times JT was booked for '18 and since backpedaled, and acted like a hero claiming he knew Beyonce was booked when he claimed it after the significant rumors swirled.
In most cases he's also the only person here who has that kind of information, unfortunately.
I feel like Phyre Fest could find out if they were real or not.
The CoS guys also monitor forums pretty closely, they'll flood their contacts at AEG with calls until they feel comfortable enough to run as "confirmed headliners." Like last year. And the year before. So again, if it's true, someone should just say so.

I feel like this kinda makes sense, as much as I hate it. I love Radiohead, lcd, Guns N' Roses.. etc. but all of those sets were criminally under attended. All 3 of these headliners would pack the main stage area every night

This initial rumor really does remind me a lot of when rumors swirled about Bonnaroo having U2, RHCP, and Chance as the top 3. It just feels like one is missing. Whether that's Foo, Fleetwood, Roger Waters, Rolling Stones, who knows...

Maybe I'm showing Coachella too much love though?
I thought the Roo headliners were pretty much known from the initial leaks of U2 and RHCP?
