I think I need to just step away from the phone at this point but Doja/Lana/Tyler doesn’t strike me as that far off from Ariana/Tame/Childish Gambino and Coachella did not collapse in 2019, especially coming after The Weeknd/Eminem/The Most Famous Beyonce Concert Ever in 2018.
Coachella 2024 Headliners: Not That Far Off From The Festival’s Worst Ever
Sure! To be clear, Goldenvoice can fail as a business for all I care, I have not liked Doja’s music ever since she chose not to enunciate the fucking “n” in “woman”, I hate Lana Del Rey’s recent Waffle House prosperity gospel ass turn, I do not like Peso Pluma’s music, I just listened to the Last Dinner Party today and don’t like that either, and in fact the only thing keeping me close to thinking about going to this goddamn festival at the moment is Justice. and yet I still think people want to see Doja Cat in concert all the same.

The board has a history of acting like Coachella is going to be a catastrophic failure if they can't move the full 250k tickets, even though they've annually sold more tickets than every other North American festival for many years running (idk how many years, someone else can look it up if they really care that much). The doomsday thinking almost always lines up with disappointment in the perceived quality of the acts they booked. Even with Doja/Lana/Tyler, this festival will be perfectly fine. The ability to buy below face on the secondary market doesn't make it a failure.
I don’t honestly care if it sells out or not, I just want to feel like I’m getting value for my ticket / at least know where that money’s going, and while the price has gone up a lot lately, I’ve known where that money is going. With these headliners - barring a ridiculous undercard - I don’t really, and it becomes harder to justify. And the secondary market is great and all, but it gives me anxiety to play that game of chicken. I’d rather just buy a ticket and know I’m going to get the value.
That place thought Bad Bunny wasn't a headliner and expects Daft Punk - Taylor Swift - Daft Punk every year of course it's dark.
Yet they're losing their minds that they passed on Shakira, which honestly would've been lame as hell so good on GV with that call. That sub is a hivemind of bland mediocre shit.
Yeah but she did a lip synced performance at the Super Bowl! Think of how great a 90 minute version of that would be at Coachella 😍

In terms of diversity, buzz-worthy performances, rare acts, production, undercard, catching artists at their peak, etc., this is still the best festival in the US. It’s our Glastonbury. Maybe we were spoiled when it came to headliners in the past, but there is absolutely still value here. I think this is the most guaranteed bet we have.

Very ignorant to call shakira bland and lame as hell but not the same for Lana?
She would have given a great performance just like Rosalia last year.
Her resume has a super bowl halftime show, rock in rio, glastonbury and fifa world cup shows....but yea shes lame.
For an ecclectic line up, she would have been a perfect fit, but female latin artists dont get the same support as males.
Thought this was an interesting angle... yesterdays price really isn't today's price, and fast!
The second and it’s not really close.
What is kind of crazy to think about is at this point calling up The Hillbillies to headline would be a move to try and bolster the HL slate. But even doing so, you then get to par with CFG'23. Inflation is a crazy mistress or I guess CFG'23 was really just that good in retrospect? Idk.

If they were going to go with a Latin female then Karol G would've been the choice, not Shakira.

I’m all for Latin representation, I’m third generation Mexican, but we’ve had awesome sets and support for Karol G and Becky G in the past two years alone, and they’re both extremely popular and headlined other fests and stadium shows more recently because they’re extremely relevant. Shakira doesn’t even begin to match the same vibe as the other two and I doubt the current demographic would give a shit about her set.

Not really a game of chicken when buying on the secondary market has had zero risk and consistently discounted wristbands for the better part of a decade. The odds of getting burned and having to pay $1500 with a Taylor-level headliner that stokes demand to unreasonable levels seems more unlikely every year. 250k is a lot of liquidity in the market too so we're talking black swan requirement to get significantly over face value and GV's recent track record with headliners shouldn't lead anyone to worry about it much.
Buying presale and then trying to sell without taking a loss has been the actual anxiety-ridden game of chicken since 2014.
