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!".
miley cyrus is said by many to be incredible live what are you even talking about lmao
Talking about the show I went to, the Miley Cyrus show I saw with my eyes last year, where she was ass.
Late to this but as much as I love Taking Back Sunday they aren't THAT mainstream. It's not a big enough pull. Riot Fest sure, but not fuckin Coachella. I'm just proud of them for getting on the lineup (although it must also have to do with them being friends with Steve Aoki and Tushar Apte).
Can someone ask the old lady from Egypt what she thinks of Lana Del Rey headlining Coachella so we can know whether the festival has redeemed its reputation as a laughingstock worldwide

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
p strongly disagree with this logic. I would not say that MGK, Kygo, Journey, DaBaby, nor The 1975 headlined Lolla.
With that being said Lana is def big enough to headline.
1. LDR is the second most streamed female this year only behind Taylor. 2. She’s huge with Gen Z on Tik Tok. 3. Her last album sold 115k first week, was critically acclaimed and is nominated for 5 Grammys. 4. She’s had a positive career trajectory, arguably repeaking this year. 5. Her last middle America tour (18-20k venue capacity) sold out in 2 minutes. She also played stadiums in Mexico.
just trying to figure out why people think LDR should headline other than "But the streams!", "But she's huge right now!".
aren’t those two the bulk of the reason why anyone other than legacy acts headline?
I mean in contrast to the other artists I mentioned (SZA, Olivia, etc) and that's why I asked if her show is better than any of those, hell, people were saying Doja was headlining earlier in 2023 and her show has been praised quite a lot.

I rest my case.
Just an asshole precision, Foro Sol isn't a stadium, but it seats 65k to SoFi's 70k, she did do that twice, you are right.
“Bad Bunny/Blackpink aren’t big enough to headline. They don’t have enough songs in English!” —-> eggheads before ‘23
“Billie Eilish isn’t big enough to headline, she only has two albums!” —-> eggheads before ‘22
“Tame Impala isn’t big enough to headline. Nobody knows what a Tame Impala even is!” —-> eggheads before ’19
I don’t really remember any of this to be fair. Lana seems weirder imo because it feels like she’s been around forever and it she already hit her ceiling while all of those acts mentioned were rising. She just feels like a sub even now, but I can also see them giving her the bump.

Lana is at her peak right now and arguably still on the way up.
Every year is the same. Eggheads claim an artist can’t be promoted to headliner until they are. Then in hindsight, those promotions seem valid. Every year, rinse and repeat.
I didn’t wake myself up from a NyQuil induced coma to read all this shizz.

does seem like ppl r only getting more depressed so that is very possible
It’s also worth mentioning that because she doesn’t play the typical pop game (no big radio songs) and doesn’t promote her shit it can be hard to gauge how big she truly is. But the numbers don’t lie.
Assuming her team used her numbers + her pulling massive crowds to justify the bump from strong sub to headliner.
