There’s so much nuance being missed here it’s riddic.

Since when was the Internet a place for nuance?

If you spent any time here in England you’d realise why Bad Bunny is just not a thing here, but I’m going to assume you’re missing all the cultural nuance and you think his credentials in America are enough for him to do what he wants in the UK.

I mean, it can depend how into this stuff people are. I had a cursory glance at the set profile and the fact the last two Bad Bunny gigs listed were at a huge stadium in Mexico City with this indicates he is fucking massive in North America, which is very impressive. In the UK, however, he's listed as once doing a show at the Kentish Town Forum in 2018. I assumed he'd be bigger now, but Glasto headline... not so much.

For my record, my only two sights of Bad Bunny were his role as a character in the movie Bullet Train and being name-checked a few times in John Oliver's bit about Ticketmaster, and that's it.

Just to point out this is completely wrong

Think the 1975 will be headlining when they next hit them too - there are plenty of other acts though that headline here but do nothing in the US though e.g. Gallaghers, Biffy

Can’t see The 1975 headlining Coachella anytime soon. Matty has talked openly about how much he dislikes Coachella and their response in 2019 was lukewarm. I can only see it if their next album is a huge mainstream hit in the US.

The last two bands to headline Coachella were Radiohead and Guns N Roses, and they’re much more established legacy bands.

I meant US fests in general not specifically coachella sorry

If anything now its non legacy bands that will be headlining coachella

Nobody has ever said you don’t get anything cool, like ever. 

Although to be fair, we got this first 😉

Is this better cause its happening in the same place? 

[CaledonianGonzo]

If AC/DC are actually coming back to life then that's a good thing.

Bjorkestral was right there and they didn't even go for it. Shameful

She has the weirdest right hand I’ve ever seen. Zoom in on it and try and get your hand to do the same thing. Really strange. 

[Suprefan]

And more artists announced for the Do Lab and Heineken House stages

[JB3]

Oh My God It’s The Church should headline Coachella

[Calvin Klein]

I am a huge Bjork fan and saw her orchestral show a few months ago. 

I just don't think it goes well with a festival. People talking all over the place. Sound is not ideal. And unfortunately her voice is just not the same it once was. It's still her, so it's amazing, but she's lost the power she used to have vocally. 

At an indoors venue it would be a different story.

Interesting to hear about the Bjork Pipes Banjax. Like most people I assumes she was immortal.

Yeah. Was excited to see her at Glasto. Was shite.

Well in an interview she did a couple weeks ago Frank Ocean had asked her to be the act before him at Coachella. Thats why she chose to do it. Sound def wont be a problem at Coachella. Jury will be out on the talking or not. I mean if it was a non cornucopia/orkestral show and had full band plus electronics then it would def blow some people away. For me its just nice to have 3 former headliners just casually being on the lineup like its not big deal. And also that was apparently the same deal for Gorillaz. Bad Bunny wanted them before his set. Thats some artist power for you.

[Suprefan]

Livestream will show all stages across 6 channels for both weekends.

Sorry.  Yeah, Should be that. Schedules out in a week so tell them that too. And it always releases this late so hopefully your mate isnt stressing too much about it. Gonna be a long week.

 

temps looking reasonable. Weather has been very cool with all the rain but a scorcher set of days leading into the weekend shouldnt be of concern. Prob hitting about 30 on average each day with some wind.

[JudgeGrumpy]

Do you still have to drink in a cage like a wild animal?! It’s so civilised. 

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Judging by photos on the 'Gram and in the media alone, I feel like I would be far too dirty, boozed up, and bombed for Coachella, in danger of being moved on by the Cali authorities for cash in hand for not "looking the part".

 

 

 

 

This is all based on my own prejudice from Insta etc of course.
