Liam Gallagher recently said Coachella is a PATHETIC FESTIVAL on Twitter. Oasis is not looking good.
RATM wanted to tour in 2020 and 2024, both US election years. Easy to be cynical.
Swift is close. BTS doing 4 Vegas stadium shows is too big, though maybe 2024 demand has stabilized a bit.
I said this before and I'll repeat myself again. Liam saying bad stuff about Coachella mostly means the opposite. I guarantee he'll play Coachella if/when there's a Oasis reunion. Unless Glastonbury gets them for a one-off reunion. I don't see them tour anymore, but they would definitely play Glasto and/or Coachella.
Glasto will get them but theyll do a 10 show residency at Wembley to a week after which still wont be enough to meet the demand. Im sure theyll even thrown in Hyde Park which is where AEG comes in. Liam on his own sold out 2 nights at Knebworth last year. He know theres money to be made.
I feel like Rage would be a quite underattended set if this year is any indication.
That’s why selecting rage as the returning to the desert artist would make sense. Put them right before Travis Scott and you’d have a massive crowd for them and feel like they’d show t Scott fans how to rage properly!
Or you can have rage headline and put Travis as the returning to the desert artist. Doesn’t matter
With Beyonce, Kanye and Bad Bunny getting booked I'm positive there is nobody "to big" for Coachella at this point.

No, nobody is too big for Coachella.
Let’s be real here, there is only one show in the US bigger than Coachella and it’s the Super Bowl halftime show. Money is not an issue for Coachella and neither is the venue size. It doesn’t matter if “they’d make more money doing their own LA shows blah blah blah”, that’s not the point. Aside from the Super Bowl (and maybe the Grammys), no other event in the US can net artists as much attention as a Coachella headlining set.

How do you mean?
The Blink-182 set was a mad house / massive success, Knocked Loose was nationally trending because their Sonora set was so nuts, etc. If I was PT, I'd have a ton of confidence in booking big hard rock sets next year
They're both selling out multi-date stadium runs so it's not especially important which is bigger but I think Taylor benefits more from doing a Homecoming-type event thing.
Agree . Think it makes a lot of sense for her to do a victory lap at Coachella and maybe stagecoach . Be the first to headline both. Don’t think it happens until all her re recordings are done tho .
We established in the 2023 thread that Rage are butt rock. Are Blink 182 butt rock? I say Blink 182 are butt rock. Butt rock is in right now.
In the butt, that is.
I would say the festival is fortunate to have such a strong batch of rock acts from the region to choose from overall. Rage, Blink, GnR, Chili Peppers, Janes Addiction, Tool, NIN. If they can somehow coax No Doubt to do a return they can def be a really good sub that will hit that sweet spot for so cal people. Ran into plenty of people from San Diego that were really excited for Blink last week and this week. Tragic Kingdom turns 30 in 2025. Might as well get the ball rolling now.
11/19: Caribou 11/22: Ranger Trucco 11/29: Armand Van Helden* 1/16: L'Impératrice 1/30: Jamie xx 2/1: DJ Seinfeld 2/7: Mild Minds* 3/1: Father John Misty* 3/19: Confidence Man 3/23: DARKSIDE 5/8: Rüfüs Du Sol
Couple of pages back there was a suggestion of Billy Idol going from Cruel World to Coachella like Blondie. Makes me wonder if Gary Numan will ever make it to the polo fields after being a volcano cancellation in 2010.

I still think Swift Coachella 2024 takes up too much attention and takes money away from the undercard, which I kinda thought also happened during GNR-Beyonce years.
I can see all 3 weekends of Swift at Indio being a very interesting idea.
Liam can say what he wants about Coachella but at the end of the day I don’t think he’s gonna turn down the paycheck he would receive.
Maybe 2025, but 2024 wont have the right $$$-crowd size-billing combination for Coachella to make a smart booking. Plus the Liam comment. Beady Eye, with Liam, also bailed on Coachella 2014.

What about Green Day and Foo?
Blink has also opened the emo door that Coachella turned their nose up for past lineups. Vegas emo fest success was also a big eye opener for promoters.
I always thought No Doubt was only a matter of a couple promoters hitting their magic number. Like Portishead who hides away unless someone hits the quote for a festival rarity.

Though I’m dreaming of Basement Jaxx and Squarepusher, feel like Girl Talk, DJ Shadow, Röyksopp, Bob Moses, Polo & Pan, Channel Tres, Gorgon City, Richie Hawtin, and Jungle are electronic leaning acts that could all make their way back to the desert.
Also think maybe instead of Run The Jewels, Killer Mike is booked solo on the Rage day instead
Ok I’m going to try to avoid speculating further about much of anything since it’s kind of pointless for the next 5-6 months but I will say the only thing I’ve earnestly convinced myself of is that Parannoul is going to play this next year.
From the small sample of "Returning to the Desert" acts we've seen, it's been acts who were influential to the festival but don't generate the press buzz they used to. SHM kicked off the real EDM explosion and then broke up shortly after, while Calvin was the only EDM headliner. I guess Kaskade or Skrillex solo could fit the bill, but I feel someone like Odezsa is still too of-the-moment for that designation. (on that note, I'm still not sure I've ever actually heard an Odesza song in my life)
I think it’s mostly just Coachella alumni who need headliner-size font. The fact it’s been two EDM artists so far has mostly been a coincidence IMO.
Rufus is headliner or returning to the desert at this point. after headlining Osheaga theyre going to demand HL billing everywhere else they play, like Travis Scott after 2018 and The Lumineers after 2019
