A few months ago I thought if Empire of the Sun was booked they'd be some 8pm Mojave act before Polo and Pan or something closes the Outdoor, but after the critical acclaim their album got they might actually be booked to close the Outdoor.
If they are its gonna be a sorta miss cause theyve sold for shit worth of tickets for their LA show.
Wow you weren’t kidding on that show selling poorly. NYC is sold out but that’s 3k cap vs 17,500 at the bowl.
Personally, I have always been a fan of EOTS and have never seen live. New album is good imo, hopefully they do fests next year.

EotS played "old, old" Sahara back in 2017 (aka same tent size+spot as Mojave now) and I couldn't get inside the tent due to the crowd. They're definitely an Outdoor act at this point (plus it seems incredibly rare that they re-book acts in the same tent+time as their previous appearance.)
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

I dunno, EOTS in 2017 strikes me as significantly bigger than EOTS in 2024. (Also worth noting they booked EOTS for the Sahara in both 2014 and 2017)

not that great live, IMO
Saw them at JLH and agree they don't sound great live, but it really didn't matter because when walking on a dream, we are the people, alive, high and low etc. etc. etc. are blasting in a crowd of people it's pretty hard not to have a good time.

It's funny you say that because their set times in 2014 and 2017 were identical. Second to last in the Sahara at 10pm.
I don't think Coachella would think twice about booking them in the Mojave just because it's the same size as the old Sahara, especially since that was damn near a decade ago. But others here have noted that their show isn't selling, so I guess it's mojave or nothing for them.
This needs to stop being taken into consideration. He was a last minute replacement for only one weekend and wasn't even the biggest name in the trio. If he's not booked, it isn't because of that 2023 set.

just obviously not true just go log onto stubhub.com and search fred again
A new album would certainly help, but he’s played LA a ton and just headlined with Skrillex and Four Tet
Haven’t paid much attention this year btw
Playing last doesnt mean you headlined. And where is his name on the 2023 lineup anyway. Nowhere to be found. He pretty much sold out the LA Coliseum with a 5 day notice just back in June. New album is out in September. He purposefully said for the tour he just announced that there wont be shows in california because of there being so many shows there. It would make sense to headline him Next year if thats what they wanna do. I think seeing $500 resale tickets for his shows kinda tells you what the demand is.
Outside of Oasis that mock doesn't seem too farfetched, it just doesn't feel like it's moving 2 weekends of tickets. (Unless Oasis was on it.)
It's giving "hey Coachella fans here's a few headliners that played a bunch of other places last year but not Coachella" which doesn't seem on brand.
*stares at 2024 poster with Doja Cat, Tyler, and Lana Del Rey as HL'ers*
Doja didn't really hit the fest scene last year though. She was most certainly a bad choice, but the one thing she has going for her was she was a fresh headliner.

Sure whatever. You can strawman me if you want, but my point still stands. That 2023 set will not matter to Coachella and their headliner bookings next year.

That isn't strawmanning, it is directly refuting an argument that you actually made. Having a second argument doesn't make it "strawmanning".
Is there an actual Olivia rumor or just speculation?
Apparently Olivia is in play for festivals next summer. Namely Glastonbury since she still has to reschedule dates in Manchester. So that means she is open to offers. And local girl playing local fest? Thats a slam dunk.
