Roger Waters is one of the most popular musicians ever. Insane take to say he’d be anything but a headliner.
Lots of ‘I don’t know/like them so they can’t headline’ takes.
What makes you so sure that the fest who hasn't had classic rock headliners in 7 years will book a headliner whose peak relevancy was almost 50 years ago, even if they are a legend??????

I need a favor. Where's the best place to follow the paths of despacio? I found despacioishappyness on ig but their website is coachella's website and the facebook page didn't even post that they were going to coachella this year. I want to get in touch with them about something. Is the best route to just go through Murph or the 2ManyDjs cats?
You did see the size of the crowd Blink-182 drew, yeah?
Some truly wild takes to catch up on here this morning.
Pop punk is different, it's always going to appeal to the youth. Look at WWWY sales vs basically every other rock fest these past couple years
"The youth" nowadays doesn't really know who Blink-182 is. The youth of the early-mid 2000s do, and they are currently the center (roughly) of Coachella's demographic (~30/late 20s). I don't know that there are many bands that they'd book from that era as headliners (in normal circumstances) but any of them that can do a successful arena tour, and there are at least a few, would have a solid turnout at Coachella. That doesn't mean I think they're likely to book them though.

This is more or less what I'm trying to say in my brash manner. Im at the cusp of millennial and gen z and pop punk is far and away (even though I personally don't care for it) the most popular rock genre with both of those generations. I do think that my statement saying any rock headliner isn't a possibility may have been too harsh but I don't think it's unrealistic to say that coach would focus that for it's target demo and not britpop or classic rock

why would you want to see oasis at coachella when they'd be a million times funner with the mad fer it lads and laddettes at knebworth
an oasis reunion in the UK would make the eras tour look like an ariel pink show in terms of ease of buying tickets so I think it’s just easier for a lot of people even if it’s not the ideal environment to see oasis

Coachella generally doesn’t give a shit about pop punk and only booked blink-182 as a surprise set and a last minute headliner replacement because they were already there. They tried to get MCR too but anybody who thinks they’re going to start booking more pop punk doesn’t know Coachella. They’re not going to focus on that genre.
And it’s been known that PT has been trying to get Oasis for a long time, despite whatever people who’ve never even been to Coachella thinks this “target demo” wants.

Oasis could do 10+ shows at Knebworth with 125,000 in attendance per night and barely put a dent in ticket demand.

Wasn’t it an absurd 2-5% of the UK population try to get tickets for the 98 show? And that was only in person or over the phone. There would be tens of millions that would try this time. But yeah, definitely can’t headline Coachella. But I would (and will) totally try to get those tickets.

The rumor is 4 nights at Knebworth, that'd be roughly 500,000 tickets. I don't know if I'd say pop-punk is the most popular rock genre with millenials? I mean, who do you think is buying all the stomp/clap tickets for Lumineers, Mumford, Hozier, etc? Pop punk had its moment last year and it looks its already fading...MGK is done doing cosplay, Avril album couldn't buy a hit, Paramore record came and went incredibly quickly, and MCR cashed their check and disappeared. Blink is back but that hype is truly due to Tom coming back.

I will bet whatever amount you would like that Oasis in the UK tix will go for less than night 1 at MetLife this weekend for Taylor. That number for the cheapest pair is currently $2,112 per ticket per StubHub
