I beg to differ. Millenials would love to see her and were jamming along to her latest songs all summer. They were all over everyone's IG stories for soundtracks. She would be a legacy act and draw a huge crowd.
Not every artist has to be a spotify top 20 artist.
And fwiw Becky G couldnt even get an evening slot. Shakira would run circles around that performance.
If they are looking at Lana, Tyler, and Doja for headliners they are clearly aiming for Gen Z not Millenials.
Lana and Tyler have holds on both Gen Z and Millenials. I'm a millennial turning 30 this year, and both Lana and Tyler got popular when I was like a Junior in high school.
When I think about it, the last time I purposefully planned to see a headliner was Kendrick in 2017 (apart from PHM last year because they were a last minute booking and I’d wanted to check Skrillex off my list). Other than that, I’ve seen Beyonce and Harry from afar because I just wanted to hear them live and then go home to prepare for the next day. That being said, it seems like this will be another year of going purely for the undercards. Hope everyone isn’t too disappointed with this year’s headliners… we’ll all have fun regardless! I always say, if there’s at least 5 artists that excite you, then it’s worth it.
Here’s my 5 artists I hope are there: The Internet, Faye Webster, MGMT, Jungle, Catfish & the Bottlemen
The last time they swung for the fences and missed on The Rolling Stones they had the deepest undercard you could ask for. They must know thats what they have on tap if theyre ending up on this. It will justify going both weekends due to the ridiculous conflicts that would arise.

I know this discussion is 2 pages old but Hillbillies at CFG was not that great. It was like watching a 30 year old and a 20 year old fight over the Spotify aux cord. Outside of the collabs the Kendrick fans didn’t want to hear Keem.
I think we need to slow our roll here with Shakira. Just because you think she can, doesn’t mean that she should. Most of the reason why she is popular in the Coachella demo would be for the collaborations she has with much bigger American stars, which are not coming out for a guest appearance. Closing out her set with Waka Waka, a song made for a World Cup 15 years ago, isn’t moving the needle for GV. She is undoubtedly a legend who has a place on the lineup. GV decided that place wasn’t as a headliner.

They are aiming for both.
That's also all who could be available this cycle.
I disagree that the 2024 headliners are on the same scale as the 2019 headliners simply because of Ariana Grande. That's a bonafide headliner who was huge at the time and is even bigger now. If you don't believe me, go check her streaming numbers on Spotify. You'll be surprised.
Dua Lipa was the strongest of the rumored headliners and her dropping out really weakens that top line. If you take one of Lana, Doja, or Tyler (choose your least favorite) and swap it with say, someone like Rihanna or Adele, that would be a more comparable line up.

You are underestimating her music catalogue.
Doja only has 2 albums and has a ton of filler songs throughout her tour.
Childish gambino, tyler and Lana dont have a catalogue that jumps of the page either.
She would have been fine. But not meant to be. Guess she will have to have a world tour instead

I think people are conflating the mediocre show to how much starpower weight, but I definitely agree with you. Ariana was a big grab frankly, even moreso considering it was a replacement.

If you’re born in 1994 then you’re at the very end of the range for millennial so it’s not surprising there would be overlap with Gen Z.

Do you work for Shakira?
I know a lot of people that are fans and she had a resurgence this year in the US music scene. It was the best chance to capitalize.
Also, when do we hear Coachella turning down an artist? That seemed kinda dirty in the article to write it as such...usually you hear couldnt come to an agreement.
I personally feel that Lana and Tyler are fine for the headliners, they both are huge on their own and have a deep enough catalog to really put on a unique show. Doja on the other hand just doesn’t scream to me like the ideal headliner to go along with them, a huge EDM or rock or alternative band needs to be slotted in to make it feel way more complete and worthwhile (from a headliner only perspective).

That's disrespectful written that way.
They paid MCR a lot of money to stay at home and it was made public. They aren’t trying to drag Shakira along the way, just an interesting tidbit.

For sure. Which is also why I think generational categories are somewhat silly. They span, what, 15 years? So yeah, I have more in common with older Gen Z than I do older millennials, even though I'm a millennial myself. Older millennials have more in common with younger Gen X. It should be every 5-10 years max lol

To be fair, Dua/Lana/Tyler wasn’t the strongest trio to begin with.
Honestly, I’m not even sure if I’d say Dua is really that much bigger than Doja.

Yeah, the festival has scored one of the biggest pop stars in the world each year for about a decade. Neither of these alleged three have that level of fame.
