Coachella 2025 - where's yo head at?

I get what you're saying but her having draw is not the same as her being good live, a lot of people didn't want her to headline because they believes she would be boring and she was. This doesn't make objections to her headlining invalid.

The big problem with Coachella 2022 is that imo it was too cold Friday night W2.

It’s subjective. Seems she didn’t win a ton of fans, but all her fans whom I spoke to were over the moon with her performance. I wasn’t trying to do that after Justice for more than a song or two but I really enjoyed it on the livestream the following week.

Additionally it bears need repeating that she most likely pushed more tickets than any other individual act on the lineup. As in “I saw her name so I bought tickets.” Just as well, there seems to be strong consensus that this trio wasn’t the first choices, particularly Tyler and doja.

Do you ever talk about literally anything other than Lana?

I'm a really big Lana fan, think Norman Rockwell is one of the best albums of that decade, and have huge respect for her recorded output across her whole career. But, the show at Coachella had so many fundamental problems. I wasn't surprised it wasn't great, but the setlist didn't play to her strengths, and clustered a lot of similar sounding songs in the first half, and very low key slow songs in the second half. At least week 2, the second half was much stronger, "Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd." was beautiful, and "Candy Necklace" was really nice, but on the ground, people were definitely flagging. Almost all her songs are a bit low key, but she picked some of the most low energy, stripped down tracks, where something like "The Greatest" or "Mariners Apartment Complex" would have been a nice energy boost.

It feels like a lot of Coachella headliners who underwhelm tailor a show to their fans (like Lady Gaga or Doja Cat did), unaware that you're dealing with a crowd who is very tired and probably not there just to see you. Anecdotally, it seemed like No Doubt had the most people who were there just to see them (and were wearing Gwen inspired outfits, etc.), while Lana pulled the second biggest crowd.

This might be one of the most insane lineups ever…..wow

Names I would KILL to have at Coachella next year (funny enough most were all on my mock lol so I know I am on trend for electronic lol)

Rüfüs, Nala, Kelly Lee Owens, Interplanetary Criminal, Soulwax, AG Cook, Four Tet, Jamie XX, Luke Alessi, PRETTY GIRL (holy fucking shit), Boys Noize, VTSS, Tinlicker, Sammy Virji, Shygirl, Sara Landry

The R&B selection for Coachella is usually pretty sub-par, but I actually thought it was amazing this year. Most of the crowds were well attended and fully engaged too.
2025 R&B/Soul/Afrobeats wishlist: Rayvn Lenae, Cleo Sol/Sault, Baby Rose, Yuna, Moses Sumney, Brent Faiyaz, Sabrina Claudio, The Internet, WizKid, Adanna Duru, Crush, mix in some 90s and 00s

As Rüfüs says I am on my knees rn

“‘Radical Optimism’ by Dua Lipa debuts at #2 on the Billboard 200 with 83k units (51.5k pure).

It becomes her highest-charting and biggest album debut to date.“

Some flop.
