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

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.

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.

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.

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.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
