Dua Lipa has already headlined some of the biggest festivals in the world. Such an egghead take.
She’s not done the biggest biggest ones though. She lacks charisma dance moves and icon-ness. More of a radio girl
I would argue she IS a pop icon atm… her songs go 10x harder than anything Ariana Grande ever made. Your overall take is definitely correct, weak trio, but TRS + Dua + anyone else would be pretty massive especially compared to anything any other US festival is rolling out this year.

If Dua / Lana / Tyler really is the trio I’m honestly very happy with that and I know my fiancée is going to be HYPED. Sure, they might not be the most unique names on paper but I’m a bigger fan of them than some of the other names I’ve seen thrown around. I’d have liked a Taylor Swift or Talking Heads or something but GV almost certainly at least tried to get those
I will defend Dua-Tyler-LDR, Dua is probably our best modern pop star about to launch a massive new album, Tyler is a Southern California native who is coming off an amazing 3 album run and has easily proven himself as a festival headliner, and while it might have been a debate a year or 2 ago Lana is a clear headliner now after an huge 2023. If you’re complaining that one of these names is headlining instead of Taylor Swift then you need to readjust expectations because she would genuinely break the festival, it ain’t happening
I'm with you. These three are clearly at the headliner level in 2024.

When you say Lana had a huge 2023, you mean stream numbers, right?

I would imagine also having a critically acclaimed and Grammy-nominated album helps too.
She's headlining Glastonbury this year. Try to keep up.
Don't get me wrong, I like Dua and I'd love to see her live. She has some really big radio hits and a lot of her songs are in my dance playlists so her music isn't the problem. I just feel like she isn't big enough to headline a festival this big, and her name on the poster doesn't bring any value to the festival even if we'll all have fun listening to her set.
Of Lana, Tyler, and Dua you’re really choosing Dua to have an issue with not being big enough to headline?

all right, here’s a hot take: Future Nostalgia is better than the last three Taylor Swift albums.
Ok well apparently this wasn’t terribly controversial so I guess it has to be hotter. Future Nostalgia is better than the first four Led Zeppelin albums or whatever

Miley Cyrus had that and she's ass live, Janelle Monáe had it as well, SZA, Olivia, too. Why is LDR more "headliner worthy" than any of them? Is her show better than any of them? She was a sub for Lolla, I remember very distinctly seeing cars with "Phoenix is not a headliner" written on their windows in 2013, so I'm not trying to be that guy, just trying to figure out why people think LDR should headline other than "But the streams!", "But she's huge right now!".

She was not a sub at Lolla. She headlined the North Stage and had as large of a crowd as RHCP did and she's even bigger in California. This isn't complicated LDR is a headliner.

I would say SZA, Olivia, Miley are all around headline level right now, and Lana headlined Lolla, just because it’s dual headliners doesn’t mean she didn’t headline

You don’t have to be ‘more worthy’ than other artists. There aren’t only 3 artists in a given year worthy of headlining.

Congrats! You are that guy.(though probably worse because LDR in 2024 is bigger than Phoenix in 2013)
If someone actually took the time to write " Phoenix is not a headliner" on their car then they need to be less online and reconsider some life choices.

There is a difference between headlining the North and South stage at Lolla though. We wouldn’t be talking about The 1975 headlining Coachella. The obvious answer of what’s different now though is that she is more popular right now than when she was booking for 2023 festivals.

and she had the biggest crowd at every fest she played last year

Coldplay headlined the north stage of Lollapalooza in 2011 and Tame Impala did in 2019 which was the same year they headlined Coachella. Some very large artists have had that spot. So yeah it's not given that an artist in that slot would not headline Coachella.
