Switching gears here, if (and when) Lil Nas X gets booked next year, how high do you think he’ll be billed? Initially I thought mid-3rd line but Lorde got 2nd line and he’s charted better so far. Sure Lorde has an album too but Lil Nas x could have more music by January too. Could he be 2020’s Cardi B/Halsey/Billie Eilish and vault onto the 2nd line?

The festival that had Tame Impala headline because Justin Timberlake cancelled on them is too good to have Carlos Satana be third on their second line, I guess is what you're saying?

I see him as a similar booking to Sheck Wes, unless his music outside of Old Town Road takes off in a legitimate way. He's billed lower than Tierra Wack on the Adult Swim Festival lineup

Way too early to have any idea. His EP was not very well received, and it's tough to tell right now how much he's coasting on one song, which will be over a year old by the time next year rolls around. I think it's as likely he totally fades over the next year and isn't booked at all as it is that he's a 2nd line act (but a mid-3rd line booking is the safest call right now).

Most of the reactions I’ve seen have been while it’s the not best material, it showed some promise. Panini and Rodeo are doing fairly well too so 7 has been far from a dud IMO.
Adult Swim Festival (and Day N Vegas) were announced a few days after 7 came out so his billing probably doesn’t reflect his popularity currently.
If Coachella was this fall he would be 3rd line. End of 2nd line if his next project takes off. This one didn’t go crazy (even though it debuted at #2) but him coming out vaulted him. But I’m going to assume he signed (or will sign) before his next album so I say he’s 3rd line

I don't feel like breaking out the bumble charts, but Old Town Road is so massive that it doesn't really matter what else he puts out. Sheck Wes wasn't crushing the Hot 100 for literally months. If he's booked, he's second line.

I'd gladly place a beer/frolem bet that if he doesn't have an album between now and the festival next year, he won't be on the 2nd line.

Lil Nas X doesnt have as good of an agent as Lorde does. ( not yet that it ) And Lorde was on the same trajectory as Billie when it came to buzz and such in the months prior to getting onto the Coachella line up.

I think he ends up mid-third line WITHOUT more music. His EP isn’t making significant waves and Old Town Road will be what, a 1 year old meme by then? I feel like a lot of the hype around that song was captured at Stagecoach with Diplo and this years Glasto, I feel like it’ll be old news by April next year.
If he puts out a full LP and it’s a success? Mayyyyyyybe second line.
This better be the year they finally book Charli XCX. Girl has amassed a ton of recognizable songs and is off two buzzy singles with a album on its way.

Not to mention that she's somehow still a compelling live performer with a backing track, two cubes, and nothing else!

Transitive property really doesn't work when comparing different festival line ups. I mean Gambino and Tame headlined Coa' 2019 but didn't headline other festivals that they were at this year. Even though Tame is an asterisk as a replacement. And there's inconsistencies with artist placement more times than not. Lil Nas X's EP was actually pretty dang good to me, but he'd need another big hit or two to end up on the second line, I don't see it happening and I'd agree with the Sheck Wes comparison. Mo Bamba was long dead by the time Coachella 2019 rolled around.
Show me where Childish Gambino is playing as a non-headliner at a festival this year.
I mean, he thinks Tyler is ready to be a coachella headliner, thought SZA and Khalid were “weak” #2s and Melanie whoever should be a sub. I wouldn’t look too much into it

Sigh, no, I said that Tyler is now too big to sub but it's highly unlikely that Coachella would book him 2020.
I may have been mistaken on Gambino but I thought he was playing as a non headliner somewhere this year. My bad if I was wrong, but that doesn't negate the main point of transitive property between festivals. There's always going to be inconsistencies with poster placement, especially with subs and second liners.
I was off-base on Khalid in terms of popularity, I just think his performance is boring. But SZA was seen as too high of a jump at the time from 2016 to 18, going off of CTRL and I'm big SZA fan. I'm not complaining that she got the slot, but subbing was surprising.
I could see Miley headlining festivals next year. If not Coachella, maybe Bonnaroo, but I could see them capitalizing on her comeback with guests like Mark Ronson. Could work in an Old Town Road segment for some main stage treatment too. I think she’s just as much of a possibility as Rihanna or whatever.
Edit: suppose she could potentially sub as well, but could just as easily work the bump

Old Town Road is going to be such a stale meme song by Bonnaroo/Coachella next year
