I don't know why I'm so invested in this, but I fucking love the drama of it all.

Latest Inforoo prediction. We should know very soon whether this is close or not!

I for sure thought Metallica must’ve done Coachella already but they never have. Obviously it won’t be on the same level as Rage for a lot of people, but if they’ve managed to get them in as a replacement then that’s about as good as you can get for a like for like, especially at such late notice. Here’s hoping for those Coachella folk, although I’d kinda love it to be somebody shite for the lols.

If Lana is at Coachella but not back at Glastonbury I would be pretty sad

@FloorFillerjust to follow up according to Inforoo Metallica are being announced for another US festival (bottlerock) on Monday alongside P!nk and some country singer. So yes maybe there is some chance Coachella may have secured them when looking for an alternative.

Waiting for this Coachella lineup takes me back. These days you generally know it's coming first week of January but it's used to be anytime in January. A yellow banner used to appear on the KROQ website and when that came you knew you were waking up to it. 

We had to wait until January 23rd which was like every morning waiting and checking. 

I think 07, 09 were decent. 2012 is up there on Friday with the best lineup for the festival generally.

So Metallica are at Bottlerock then. I’d say there has to be chance it’s them as number 3 now!

A bottlerock headliner hasn't played Coachella since 2016 at least. That's as far as I checked. 

Given where it is I'm not sure they would allow it.

Yeah but things are a bit weird at the moment Coachella had no headliners a week ago.

I think there is more chance of SHM personally. No chance will Bottlerock let Coachella dent their sales.

[Matt42]

Some discussion they are trying for rage again. Looks like there is some expectation covid cases are going to drop like a stone as we get out of winter. Maybe they are hoping this will change rage’s mind?

Looks like this is far from over.

Been like that for a while, but what do I know.

There is no trying for rage, theyre either in or out, no middle ground. 

[Matt42]

Well supre someone who has a good track record on there says there is no fixed date for the lineup and no guarantee it will even be out this month.

They are a probably going to have to forego their first announcement rights and let other US festivals announce before them. So it sounds like they are hanging their hopes on something that is worth the wait if that is the case.

Surely they are just better off having a TBA headliner?

[Matt42]

The Twitter is tweeting so maybe it’s dropping soon

I mean Adele did just premeire Oh My God 30 mins ago

Crikey

Decent lastminute booking, he's just off the back of a massive sold out arena tour and will get a huge crowd.

Not exactly like-for-like with RATM, but I agree that it's a great look for Coachella. Certainly unique.

If you want generational icons for a Coachella crowd, Billie/Harry/Ye is pretty great.

Replacing the X Factor protest band with an X Factor contestant.

Initially thought it looked pretty weak after seeing the top few rows of each day but then when you give it a proper look over there is a fair amount of great stuff further down the lineup imo. As is increasingly the case with Coachella/all major U.S. festivals, not one for the rock or indie heads and Rage would’ve been a strange headliner to have topping it tbh, but if you’re in to hip hop, electronic and pop then there’s loads to get your teeth stuck in to.
