2023 had a lot of great electronic acts, including Eric Prydz presents HOLO. Could Armin Van Buuren bring his Armin Only live show to the desert soon ? That could be a great outdoor closer.
Wrapping up the big names of my mock before diving into the filler and have a few crowd sourced questions for you:
1. Playboi Carti - is GV touching him right now? I am trying to pick between Playboi Carti or Lil Uzi Vert in a spot. For the "feel" of the night Playboi Carti is by the far better option, but then again not sure GV is touching him with a ten foot pole - vs Lil Uzi Vert who is primed.
2. If I threw three hardcore bands back to back to back in the Sonora to end the week against a giant popstar on the main, enough people showing up to that party or is it a failed opportunity that is better left empty?
3. Yuma - I know what you all want, who on the 3rd/4th lines are we stuck with that are typical Sound retreads that are wasted opportunities?
1. Probably neither tbh. They'll probably go in a different direction.
2. Better left empty IMO, they've been doing that every year and I don't see it changing. Even if it did, I highly doubt they'd go b2b2b without any variety.
3. Dixon?
Dixon is a good shout
I kind of agree re: Sonora but Nia/Sudan/Waffles/Knocked Loose felt like an experiment to see how long they could extend it - if GV thought those went well I could see them eventually having it like the Yuma during headliners - accepting they can’t fill Mojave during a headliner but having two small alternatives going.

Carti is bigger but dude is super flaky high on that rock star life. There is a high chance he wouldnt even show up. If he does show up, it's going to be an insane show and his name alone seriously move tickets. That being said, I don't think Coachella books him
Uzi on the other hand has a new album coming this year. Thats it. I think they will play Coachella.
Regrading Uzi, they arn't the first hip hop artist, nor even musicion to point a gun at someone and won't be the last. I mean, just look at the people Coachella has already booked before, what Uzi did is bad but really not that crazy.
Regarding Carti, yeah that's pretty bad. Also he beat a well known FAMOUS WHITE WOMAN which is pretty insane he didn't get in trouble for considering he is black and queer. That being said, sadly the world we live in doesn't hold people accountable and Carti is still headlining fests.
"Returning to the Desert: Snoop Dogg" would be pretty fun
Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, NBA Youngboy, A$AP Rocky, Uzi, Carti are probably the biggest (non legacy) hiphop acts they can book as top 3 in their day but not a headliner.
"Returning to the Desert: Snoop Dogg and Friends" would be pretty fun

I feel like Uzi is more likely because their shitty stuff isn't super well known. Carti's mugshot was so popular his fans all put it as their profile pic so theres no avoiding bad press from that one.
I think that's a good idea but only if we have a big rock headliner like Rage or System and a bunch of other heavy acts scattered throughout other days.
i havent really paid attention to the yuma acts i don't want. I can tell you i do really want i. jordan, haai, dj python, tiga, dj holographic, logic1000 and avalon emerson

I'd also throw in Jack Harlow, Baby Keem and Future. Wouldn't be surprised if Yeat is up there too within a year.

just have no idea how what Uzi did isn't just as bad at Carti
If coach (or any fests really) wanted to book billy woods now's probably the time to do it. His music is phenomenal though probably too dour for a festival setting, but he just released his most accessible album yet today that many are already saying is one of his best in huge run of great albums

Way smaller festival but Big Ears booked him late in a 500 capcity venue and it was obvious they fucked up. It was jam packed and no breathing room at all.
remember that guy who tried to argue Rage Against the Machine didn't want to be on a poster with a woman pop artist also headlining? lmao
Yeah that dude as projecting hard.
Lol that was me you Dummies! And I never said female pop artist. I said pop artist. I don’t think they’ll headline alongside someone like Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber. Although after going this year, I can give a fuck less who headlines anymore.

So theyre never going to play. Why were they ok sharing their headline status at Reading 2022 with Halsey on their day.

I don’t consider Halsey to be pop since her music’s tinged with alternative flair, especially after working with Reznor (also no way in hell Halsey headlines). Same for Billie Eilish now that I’ve seen her live show. Pretty sure my original comments were directed towards Eilish headlining alongside Rage, so what do I know.
And I really don’t care anymore after experiencing Coachella this year. Went into Rosalia and Charli XCX with no expectations and was blown away. I didn’t even see a full headliner show in 2023 and still felt like I got headliner worthy experiences out of Chemical Brothers, Gorillaz, Underworld, and Bjork. If 2024 has some “legacy Coachella” acts returning and great counter-headliner programming, I’m game for anything. And I especially want Robyn next year, so there’s at least a pop artist on my wishlist.
All that said, I still don’t think Rage will sign up to headline alongside acts that are so white and toothless - Bieber, Swift, and Timberlake.

Baby Keem just played in 2022...meh
It was a great set and I was impressed there, also helped that Kendrick came out W2, but feels early again
I don't get the hype on Yeat yet, but seems like is blowing up and makes sense
Future fell off, would be a waste of a booking
Jack Harlow just put out a new album I think...will that hype last another year?
Feels like Uzi make a lot of sense with a new album
Lil Nas X makes sense with a new album/new single or 2
Feels like we are starting to have less rap names to book that haven't played yet unless they go with someone like J Cole
