Streams aren't a perfect metric, but you've got brain worms if you think Linkin Park's numbers are overstating their popularity. They have a diamond album, they haven't toured since 2017, nu metal is resurgent right now. Not saying they fit at Coachella, but they're absolutely a bigger draw than MCR + Paramore, or whatever Benson Boone type acts y'all want to drag into this.
Nu Metal and Pop Punk/Emo were in the same time period of music. Linkin Park and MCR were at their peak around the same time. The nostalgia train for both are pretty much equal. I think their reunion would be similar to MCR's but definitely not bigger. Linkin had more widespread radio reach, but MCR's fanbase is cult-like dedicated and they had more of a culture around them. MCR was broken up longer than Linkin's hiatus, too.
But yeah, I definitely AM saying that Linkin Park fits at Coachella. Why wouldn't they? Just because they haven't booked these types of bands, historically, doesn't mean that they *shouldn't*. If we have 4 headliners, there's no harm in having Linkin as one of them. There is a big question mark on how they sound live with the new member though. Having them go 2nd to last would be good placement

No Chester, no Coachella. It’s not happening. Best bet is a surprise set time add.
I wil not be gaslit into thinking Lana del Rey was a good set. I have rarely been more bored at Coachella.
I was about to settle in for bed in Safari Friday night before she started, but the people in safari were too rowdy. When Lana went on, I decided to head to the guest access area of the main stage, and I brought a pillow and blanket and had a lovely snooze.
Singing side by side with Billie Eilish really highlighted the gap in vocal talent for Lana lol but nah last time making fun of that set for me. I just think Lana fans really gravitate to her aesthetic and that's what she gave so it worked for them

Never said they would be a top 3 headliner especially with Emily. But being at Coachella someway as one of the biggest music stories makes a lot of sense.

Don’t remember if anyone posted it among the Lolla SA lineups but here’s Estereo Picnic:
I think there’s tended to be a bit more crossover with this festival than the Lollapaloozas but again less so on the top lines. Really leaning towards Olivia being out at this point.
Incubus have always wanted to play Coachella. Could see them in the Sublime / Weezer type role potentially
Lady Gaga did both in 2017. Just kind of an irrelevant predictor because a lot of SBHT performers would never be at Coachella (Katy Perry, Maroon 5, Bruno Mars, etc.)

If anything, think he's slightly more likely
Gaga as a replacement doesn’t count IMO. But I don’t think it really matters much either way.

Alanis Morissette will play at Estero Picnic in Bogota, Colombia in March.

Fred again.. propaganda still running rampant I see. Him and his team grossly overestimated his appeal after his free stadium show… booking double dates at arenas where the first date isn’t even sold out.
Good music, better team. Gg I guess lol.
& no one even a Lana fan myself thinks her set was great - she is not a great live performer but she is one of our great songwriters and brings the same elusive quality Frank brings which is what edges out Coachella and makes it interesting. The Coachella team is always in touch with the zeitgeist which is why you wont see Dua headlining this year and they don’t really care if you’re an amazing performer (that’s more Glasto crowd).

If I were GV I would give Chappel the headlining slot before any other major fests. It would be a good gamble tbh, she undeniably has the “it” factor that Billie and even Gaga in her day had.
