This year marks the third year with a strange fourth headliner slot at the bottom of the festival poster, giving the artist a headliner bill – via the all-important hierarchy of font sizes – but without a specific date; The first three headliners are at the top of the bill on each of the three festival days. The meaning was never entirely clear: at first it seemed that the billing was either a late-night dance slot or some kind of headliner insurance in case one of the main headliners pulled out (which will eventually happen in 2022 was the case with the Swedish House Mafia). , who took over the Weeknd's Sunday night slots when Kanye West canceled just days before the festival). However, when Frank Ocean pulled out of the second weekend last year after his controversial first weekend headlining gig, his place was taken by Blink-182 while Harris played late night DJ sets. This year, the meaning is even more confusing, with veteran alt-rock act No Doubt holding the position.
Sources say Dua Lipa and Shakira, who both have new albums on the way in 2024, were also in the running for the headlines; Lipa reportedly dropped out because the timing wasn't right, while festival organizers reportedly ditched Shakira.
Rage Against the Machine were scheduled to headline the 2020 edition of Coachella, which was announced in January of that year and ultimately postponed four times due to the pandemic. While the group restarted their second reunion tour in 2022 and played 19 shows, singer Zach de la Rocha suffered a serious knee injury and the dates were postponed indefinitely, but all future plans are apparently off the table: drummer Brad Wilk posted on January 3rd that the group “will no longer tour or play live.”
Last year's headliners were Bad Bunny, Blackpink and, for the first weekend, the headliner originally planned for 2020, Frank Ocean. While the elusive singer had planned an elaborate rink with dozens of skaters for his performance, it was dismantled at the last minute and he ended up playing a casual, low-key set that started late and disappointed many fans. He canceled his second weekend appearance and was replaced by Blink-182.
It was the second year in a row with a last-minute change of headliner: the headliners in 2022 were Harry Styles, Billie Eilish and a tag team set of Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia, with the latter replacing one from Kanye West, who withdrew just days before the first weekend of the festival.
Coachella is North America's largest music festival and has already sold all 125,000 daily tickets.
