What was your guys favorite top line? I wish I had made it for the year of Prince etc but Gaga, Kendrick, Radiohead I'm pretty sure will be peak North American festival for me. Panorama in NYC with Tame, Frank, NIN, Tribe called Quest, Solange, Justice was also pretty dope
For Coachella, this run was pretty insane.
2002 Top 8: Oasis, Björk, Foo Fighters, Strokes, Sasha and Digweed, The Chemical Brothers, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Prodigy
2003 Top 8: Beastie Boys, RHCP, White Stripes, Blur, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, Underworld, Ben Harper, QOTSA
2004 Top 6: Radiohead, The Cure, Air, Flaming Lips, Pixies, Kraftwerk
2006 Top 8: Depeche Mode, Tool, Daft Punk, Franz Ferdinand, Madonna, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Sigur Ros
Grande Billie Frank The Weeknd Harry Bunny Doja Tyler Fred x Skrillex x Four Tet Tame Blink Lana Gambino SHM
Edit: Outside of Frank, I wonder how many here booked a ticket to see one of those top six acts alone.
At time of poster drop, Ariana was a huge get (for Popularity and dropping two new albums). The show just didn't live up. Frank was a big get for rarity, show just didn't live up.
Acts like Bad Bunny, Billie, Harry, Weeknd, etc. Are massive artists that deserved their spots, but they were very accessible the year leading up Coachella so it didn't feel like massive bookings. Those artists also didn't release new albums leading up to Coachella. But Tyler is and that makes him slightly different for me
I really think Tyler will be the biggest artist at Coachella this year once his new album comes out. I don't think Lana or Doja have anything new brewing.
I can see it being like 2017 when Kendrick could have arguably been the least interesting pre-new album (Radiohead and Gaga are both super strong acts), to owning the fest once DAMN dropped.
Tyler's progression over the past 3 albums + the estate sale songs, is crazy. I have no reason to think his trajectory won't continue in the right direction. I think he's underrated as a musician. His ear for melodies is immaculate, and his production style is lush and pretty while simultaneously feeling gritty. Between him, Lana, and Doja I think he's easily the most talented
It’s going to be Lana easily over Tyler.
I think it depends on the reception of his new album. As of right now, yeah I would agree with Lana on crowd size. But if Tyler's new album explodes, I think it'll be him

Also Ariana, Harry, and Bunny were all objectively huge gets that no other festival in the states could get to headline. And I don’t recall Ariana’s resale price but Harry and Bunny were not accessible unless you lucked out getting ticket in the main sale - resale was nuts for those.
If they have them pick the pre headliners there's no doubt in my mind Tyler will have N.E.R.D open for him
I doubt they are letting any of these headliners pick their subs. I feel like that’s only something you need to do if you really want to get a headliner locked in (Frank and BB)

Wow those are insane, I'm glad artists are finally getting paid accordingly to the revenue they generate but selfishly would love to have those lineups

Tin foil hat theory: Paramore dropped out of ALTer EGO because The Rolling Stones wanted them to sub for them.

Ariana played Lolla the same year as Coachella. I’m sure Harry Styles will eventually play some fests. Bad Bunny was the only headliner they’ve had since Beyoncé where it felt like they got an artist who was too big to play festivals.

Fair enough on Ariana, totally forgot she played Lolla too. Point stands on the others though, I don’t see Harry or Bunny headlining anything else unless their star falls a bit.
