Save it for people on the board? I think that would be pretty well received by the general attendee. Insert popular female act like Rihanna, Lorde etc. and the masses would be very pleased. Most of the headliners we want here are unrealistic.
Yeah I meant for the people on the board. I also think that would be well received in general.
The Rolling Stones then probably. I don't think Bruce or The Cure are likely tbh but I guess some people do. It would probably take another unlikely reunion to make us happy with those 2 though.

I thought he sounded great when he came through Oracle Arena in January and also enjoyed him at Outside Lands, though he definitely had to shift songs down to a lower register.
Menzingers new album out in October, their November U.S. tour includes two GV backed dates in SF and Pomona, they'll have their headlining tour this fall and be open for fest runs next spring/summer.
After getting two Will Yip bands on the bill this year, I can see this happening!
I saw Elton at Staples earlier this year, and he sounded good, but it was basically a solid arena show with the hits, rather than something next level like Springsteen or Neil Young live.

Yes, this is true. Same show every night, very straightforward. The difference would be it's the last chance to see him.

Alright time for another gut reaction headliner discussion. I have no thoughts on this personally, other than I'm not a huge fan.
Do we see Chance taking up Friday slot? His record will be out this month which I think is somewhat early, but historically we've had some later-in-their-tour headliners i.e. Jack White, Radiohead, and somewhat Gambino.

I don't think Chance has enough clout currently to be already booked without GV knowing how his album will sound/sell. If the album is a huge success I think they will book him. If it doesn't move the needle all that much I think they prioritize Drake/Kendrick/Travis Scott debuting a new show at Coachella over Chance doing the same set he did at Life Is Beautiful and Miami Beach Pop months earlier.
I personally don't have high hopes for the Chance album and I'm a fan.

He would def be booked before GV heard it. He’s huge. He’s either already booked or he won’t headline. My bet is he headlines AND headlines Day N Vegas 2020

They'll have tons of opportunities to book Chance in the future. If the album does well and they aren't able to land some kind of PT bucket list act they've been talking to, sure, they could book him and it would be totally fine. But I doubt he's already locked in. I'm definitely in the camp that thinks Kendrick or Travis debuting a new show is a bigger deal and more on brand for the festival.

I'd like to think this is the year Frank Ocean headlines with a new album after doing FYF and Panorama a couple years ago. It's gotta happen at some point, right?

Y'all are aiming too high. Eminem was apparently a bucket list act for PT, it doesn't have to be an acclaimed rock reunion. Adele, Metallica, Rihanna, Frank Ocean are all probably on the list.

When did PT say Eminem was on his bucket list? I guess you could call the artists you mentioned “bucket list” but Led Zep, The Smiths and Talking Heads are more “dream” headliners.

I'm having fun imagining Chance sitting in a boardroom with a bunch of GV execs listening to his new album and at the end the CEO goes "this is trash, subheadliner."

Not sure if this has been brought up yet but I bet Charli XCX will get booked for this, her new song with Christine and the Queens is excellent and she's got a guest-heavy album coming in the fall. Where on the poster would she be?
I think an R.E.M reunion would check a lot of boxes for Coachella
I’m not sure how R.E.M. would fit in today’s Coachella.
I dunno, seems like the perfect “reunite to play our festival and introduce your music to a new generation” band. REM’s music definitely connects directly through a lot of the sad-girl indie rock that’s big right now, so it’s not like they’d be that out of place. Would fit better with the current crowd than GnR did.
