Do we think it's possible they debut the double headliner format.. this year?
if it does eventually happen (a big if) I think it's unlikely for this year or we'd have heard more names being rumored. There have been other years that a second line act pulls a bigger crowd in the Sahara than what's on main though, so who knows.
Maybe the new "Strong Sub" closes Sahara instead of opening before a headliner. Like unofficial dual headliners.
For someone who never listened to Tyler before, where to start?
That Earfquake/New Magic Wand is really rad. I saw him a few years ago and it was a high energy show all throughout.
I hope that the dual headliner format starts this year, for sure. If they are going to put all genres in there, I feel it would allow those more niche acts to be brought back into the conversations

Omg I love this question ( he's my favorite artist since I was 12 )
It really depends on what your into. Most accessible is definitely flowerboy. His best imo is Igor. If your a production nerd I'd check out cherry bomb. Idk I can go on and on about his whole career
Haven’t listened to much rap last decade. If I have it’s Ye. Growing up I was into underground rap. Swisha House, Boss Hogg Outlawz, Slim Thug. Then I got into Eminem hard and eventually Kanye. Also like Frank, Kendrick, J5, Jay Z
This would honestly be such a goddamn shame. Not having opposing headliners(yes sure, there is some overlap usually, but nothing crazy) is a huge win for Coachella over the likes of Lolla.
eh, I've been pro "dual headliners" since like 2016 so if this turns out to be true it gives more choices. I'm lucky if I get excited about 1 of the 3 headliners each year so 6 chances is better than 3 for me personally.
Besides, there's been too many silent stages during headliners recently and this helps that. I don't expect to many conflicting artists, like I don't think you get 2 of the same genre each night, but if anyone wants the likes of Radiohead or The Cure to ever headliner this is the only way it's really possible.
If it happens, of course.
Maybe I’m just a delulu millenial but would there be any question that Radiohead wouldn’t headline Coachella when/if they come back?

not in my mind, but they did have a pretty small crowd in 2017 compared to other recent headliners so I've resigned myself to the conclusion they wouldn't be likely headliners on the main stage of Coachella going forward.

Lol what? No, it’s Radiohead they’re going to headline if they play. The disrespect…

lol I say that as a Radiohead fan. They just aren't what the average attendees care about these days. But they could be the dual headliner in a few years if they go on that direction.

I would be shocked if GV would pass on Radiohead. Especially as long as Paul runs the show.

Signed, delulu x-er that loves Radiohead.
Yeah, but I think there will always be enough room for a “legacy” act (especially one with the unicorn stature of critical acclaim and mainstream appeal as Radiohead).

All these legacy acts (that honestly, are what keep me coming back to Coachella every year) keep getting tiny crowds and lots of people call the unattended sets embarrassing and whatever (blur, stone roses, LCD, even chemical brothers, and bjork, and the list goes on). you see it all over reddit and inforoo about how under attended those sets are. We're only kidding ourselves that Radiohead would be one of the main headliners unless they break up and reunite or musical tastes shift again.
Edit: even when The Stones were rumored a lot of people said no one would attend, and that's the Stones lol
Y’all have lost it. What festival does Radiohead play where they aren’t billed as a headliner? Same goes for The Cure or Depeche Mode for that matter.
most other festivals probably, just having a hard time seeing Coachella book either one over the current pop sensation or whatever. Ps, I still think Radiohead is a headliner, but even at lolla or ACL they are only 1 of many headliners. Coachella with single headliners each night won't book them, but as a dual headliner? Sure. Just my opinion of course

I hear you. I was at all those shows you mentioned I’m just saying that there are other considerations that GV considers beyond audience size. And unless Radiohead is only drawing 500 people, I really doubt that they’d say no to a marquee name like them.
Same goes for the Stones — who sell out Sofi and the Rose Bowl. They’ll get a smaller crowd no doubt, but I don’t think that those attendance numbers reach any mainstream coverage. The narrative is still “Coachella continues to book the most coveted acts — past and present, etc”

this is just how I think they continue getting booked. Those bands like Radiohead, The Cure, even stuff like Depeche Mode are bona fide headliners to me, but they won't accept sub billing like the Gorillaz and Chems did. I feel like it we want them to play Coachella it would be a smaller stage (new, huge Sahara with amphitheatre lawn seating) with headliner billing as dual headliner going up against something huge like bad Bunny, RiRi, Taylor, etc. that way, they're happy, coachella is happy, and we can be happy lol
One day, people will realize that a lot of the "legacy" acts that will draw huge crowds, aren't necessarily the ones with "critical acclaim".
Radiohead would be a headliner, just the weakest of the trio in terms of crowd pull. They already were in 2017. Future out pulled them.
And that's no disrespect to Radiohead or any other "legacy" act, it's just the reality. We can respect them for the legends that they are, and also acknowledge that a lot of these acts will sell well on their own shows/tours but not pull a big crowd at a festival where the demo gets younger every year. The current big "legacy" pulls are the likes of a My Chemical Romance or an Usher imo. Stuff that the current demo is nostalgic about. And 5 years from now, that will probably change to more early 2010s acts.
- There will be more non-electronic music in the Sahara moving forward
- AP Dhillon was mentioned as a non-electronic name who will be playing there this year
- The Sahara will be a brand new mega-structure this year, and be 40 feet wider than the previous iteration
- It's confirmed that the Sahara will in fact be moving directly south across Lot 51, and will be rotated slightly to the left
- Currently they are pouring the concrete footers in that location and should be finished next week
- The grassy hill will be on the South end, the opposite of the Sahara entrance
- This expansion has been in the works for two years
New Yuma Info: - It will indeed be expanding like previously mentioned, but not until 2025
I think Sahara is going to be main stage 2 and this will pave the way for dual headliners each night. They couldn't use outdoor since it has to end earlier than main most of the time but Sahara can go until curfew.
I really hope they don’t have duel headliners. That’s what I hate with Lolla and ACL. You only see 1 of the 2 biggest names each day, unless you split the sets.
