Such a shame. Just stay f**king weird. Have pixie ears, sing like you've sucked a helium balloon, dress like a Japanese schoolgirl, marry a billionaire lizard, whatever. Just don't be a c**t. 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Anyway, Stevie Wonder, Dua Lipa and Coldplay, right?

Wholesome fun for all the family.

They just refer to the first as x and the second as y and then along came Techno 😄😄

Bizarre!

"They're Techno Trousers! Ex-NASA. Fantastic for walkies."

Let's be real, Coachella do not cater their lineups to anyone buying a ticket. The whole thing nowadays is a facade for influencers and glamourous celebrities to go and get some photos. Nowadays, Coachella is barely a patch on even TRNSMT.

[NorthernSoul52]

Gerry Cinnamon would scare the living sh*t out of a typical Coachella audience, to be fair. 

[Wooderson]

Are Blur in play for the G so? If not why not.

He'd scare (or should that be scar) the living sh*t out of me TBF.

As would a large percentage of Pyramid acts from the last 25 or so years.

Lol what, how can you look at that lineup and think that.

Most likely not.

They've said they're done for a while - best guess (and this is just a guess as nobody knows) is that they're only in play for Coachella because some combination of they've not played North America on the recent jaunt and the money is huge. So them doing it doesn't really mean they're back on the scene.

Damon declared a hiatus for what 6 weeks?

I reckon Blur, as things stand now, are more likely than Stevie W.

That's the thing, isn't it? Coachella's target audience is clearly the 18-25 demographic and that's the model they generally stick to every year. Outside of that range and they're probably not putting on a weekend for you. They don't want 40-somethings like me coming in and ruining the aesthetic. Probably the polar opposite to Glastonbury where there's a conscious effort to cater for everyone and the main reason why the two festivals can no longer be compared. 

Yup, it’s more comparable to Reading/Leeds over here than Glastonbury.

Dua Lipa (show not ready in time and doesn't align with her album release schedule).

Rolling Stones were rumoured - but are struggling to sell a stadium show in LA this summer.

Talk of both T-Swift and O-Rod having convenient gaps in their tour schedules, but this was always wishful thinking IMO.

Shakira’s team apparently wanted her to headline but Coachella declined.

Bottom of the article just posted about Joe Bananas has this weirdly…

”The Saturday night headliner is a stadium-level artist of global prominence, consistently ranking among the most-streamed artists in the world.”

Just read the tribute to Joe Bananas - has there been a bit of a copywriting mix match :

 

 

Glastonbury Festival sends condolences to Ian’s family and friends. RIP Joe Bananas. You always had the blankets – and you always had the tunes.

Has now been removed 👀👀👀👀👀👀

Is Dua “stadium-level?” She’s probably “most streamed”…

Only Coldplay of the 3 assumed headliners count as stadium-level, and they’re a band not a solo artist.

Taylor Swift
Bad Bunny

[CaledonianGonzo]

Dua is #11 at the moment. Must be her.

Screenshotted it when I saw it! Thought it was odd

Very strange slip up?

Hopefully if the tabloids catch on from here they will announce it? would be good to get a name on the wall

This is an insane take
