HDD has been wrong before. And while I think they source is GV, gv has been known to use them to spread rumors to gauge reactions.
Anyways.
I'm just saying, everyone can be correct if LDR is in the RTTD spot. I'm not saying she's not playing or not getting prominent placement. There's nothing wrong with RTTD billing.

Doja getting a headliner slot over Lana feels disrespectful. Plus I was hyped about Tyler and Lana headlining smh.
2023 lineup was the perfect example of that mix, with a ton of rare acts for "old heads" and some of the most popular artists in the world. It would be unlikely they would go from booking Chem Bros, Gorillaz, Bjork, Underworld and Jai Paul to totally abandoning acts with that sort of crew.
And, Lana and Tyler have both been around for 10 years at this point. Having a deep catalogue and still appealing to young audiences feels great for a headliner.
The bigger problem with Tyler, IMO, is he self admittedly had a totally dead crowd in 2018. Even if most of that is due to Beyonce, I don't think his popularity has grown that much, and people going just for him seem more likely to go to his own annual festival.
Lana is more exclusive than people on here seem to think, this'll be her first So Cal show in five years.
Doja is a total miss, no exclusivity, played recently, and just blah.
I will never forget the group of very young kids waiting for Labrinth during Underworld. Everyone around them was just losing their fucking minds, and they went from annoyed, to curious, to absolutely mental. They were all on their phones at first looking at the wikipedia page of Underworld, and by the end they were jumping around like they were in a bounce house. When the gold light lit up the Mojave during Born Slippy, I swear I saw one of them crying.
There's not a lot of other festivals where you can have this kind of experience. The mix of rare "old heads" clashing with what's hot on TikTok is part of the charm of the festival.
Now NMH playing before Lana on the other hand ...
Counterpoint: they were 16 year old kids who copped fentanyl laced molly and would still have been crying with joy if it was Breaking Benjamin up there.
Though FWIW that person scooped Jai Paul as headlining Red Rocks last April, which didn't happen. It's a very weird scoop where the thing that matters - Jai Paul is back and performing - was true, but the actual scoop was not.
He or she is also saying the lineup drops tomorrow. I’m tired.
Have you tried not spamming this thread? Could help.

NMH before Lana makes sense on paper in my opinion...just, man, Lana fans suck a lot.
I've seen some wild shit (and literal shit) in crowds, but those '14 fans were insanely god awful for the NMH show.
I don't think its any "weaker" than 2019, but in 2019 I was super excited about catching tame and childish gambino and this year I'm not really excited about any of them.
Will probably catch at least a bit of all of them though.
Ariana is a way more impressive get than lany of ana/tyler/doja. No question.
Focusing on big get vs quality of performance is a huge L. Tame Impala is by far the better show of those three that year, and this forum is in consensus that he wasn’t really big enough to headline that year either. Stellar performers> pop stars with #1 singles. I remember when everyone used to think the big pop radio stars all sucked.
Look complain all you want about Lana-Tyler-Doja, I’m just glad that I can rely on Coachella to not book a headliner trio of exclusively white men in 2024.
"I love that they are feeding me a sub from 2022, a sub from OSL 2023, and someone who headlines an annual festival as the slop I need to take for $600 because they're not white men"
I’ll just speak for myself: I don’t equate valuing diversity with lowering standards and I do see a lack of diversity as a detractor of value.
Can someone ask the old lady from Egypt what she thinks of Lana Del Rey headlining Coachella so we can know whether the festival has redeemed its reputation as a laughingstock worldwide
Has anyone here seen Fred again at a festival not named Coachella? Because it’s really not good
Yeah total snooze fest at iii points. Didn’t have the diligence to sit through him talking and noodling on the piano, especially since despacio was right there instead

I think this perspective makes sense for Coachella attendees, but not necessarily for moving tickets.

This is a lot of confidence in Lana’s live show. “I remember when everyone used to think the big pop radio stars all sucked” Doja Cat.

Best case (thought unlikely) scenario with Lana/Tyler/Doja is that one of them is actually RTTD and there's another name confirmed. Even though we've heard the word "headliner" tossed around with these, it's not impossible to think one of them is actually in that RTTD spot but the source does or does not know that and is still referring them as a "headliner". Hell, we've seen agencies call their artist a Coachella "headliner" because they closed out the Sahara lol.

I think it's fair to call RTTD a headliner, especially if they play AFTER a headliner on Main.

Yesterdays Coachella is not today’s Coachella.
I’d say Lana and Tyler are more reminiscent of old Coachella actually. Strong live reputation and decade plus of critical acclaim that’s somewhat transcended their cult followings.
Don’t necessarily disagree with your point about doja, but I can say her tour was absolute gas. One of the better rap performers I’ve ever seen and is sure to win over new fans on the fields. Went bc gf but definitely not upset about it.
The larger pool of who’s big enough to warrant a headline slot, cool enough to get tapped, and strong enough to deliver is small.
Alanis Morissette has a Nashville date in the summer. Which is June the twenty third at the Bridgestone Arena and she can play at Coachella in this year.
