On the Saturdays, 13 and 20 April, Tame Impala will headline days featuring Solange, Kid Cudi, Weezer, Aphex Twin, J Balvin, Billie Eilish, Bassnectar, Four Tet, Christine and the Queens, Wiz Khalifa, and Mac DeMarco.
Coachella’s Sunday line-up, on 14 and 21 April, will conclude with a headline set from Ariana Grande, alongside performances from Khalid, Zedd, Gesaffelstein, Bad Bunny, Dillon Francis, and CHVRCHES.
Kanye West had been heavily rumoured to headline this year, alongside Justin Timberlake. TMZ previously claimed that Kanye had been attached to headline, but dropped out over a dispute over the stage’s size and design.
Coachella is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, having been founded in 1999, although technically the festival was not held in 2000.
