😂😂 no one in America knows who Wolf Alice are. It’s a joke.

I know it is a joke, I was just mentioning that they already had someone to replace short-term for Harry 🙂 

Kendrick Lamar would be a strong option but not sure if he would be munch into that.

Kendrick was asked before and I don’t think his show is ready. Awkward thing with Coachella is it’s in April, so a lot of the acts touring from June - October aren’t ready yet.

Easiest solution would be just bump Doja Cat up. She was actually playing on the same day.

If that's true, crazy! They already need e to include Harry Styles as last minute replacement... 

Its true, he is out.


Since the industry trades like to actually talk about this stuff in the open and potentially put names out there so people have an idea of what could transpire, the short list is as follows. The Weeknd, Tyler The Creator, Justin Bieber and Travis Scott. Scott has the lowest chance since ya know, he killed 10 people.

And every agency with an artist that could headline is trying to get that slot, too.

It’s official – Kanye West is no longer headlining Coachella and sources tell Billboard the search for a replacement act to close out the festival is underway.

There are a lot of names being floated: The Weeknd and Silk Sonic, the Grammy-winning duo featuring Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, are getting plenty of mentions from industry insiders, along with a dozen other suggestions covering every genre of music.

Within an hour of TMZ breaking news that the artist now known as Ye was off the festival lineup, agents began reaching out to Goldenvoice President Paul Tollett to share availability of their top clients interested in filling the dual weekend headliner slots on April 17 and 24.

That includes agents from CAA, which represents Ye and a number of other artists already performing at this year’s festival, including Harry Styles and Doja Cat. But being the agency representing the previous headliner does not give CAA any advantage a source tells Billboard.

“You don’t book a spot and keep it,” one source tells Billboard. “[Tollett] will book whoever he wants.”

Festival promoter Goldenvoice has replaced headliners who dropped off the festival before. In February 2017, it was announced Lady Gaga would sub in for a pregnant Beyoncé. And in 2019, when a plan to book Ye collapsed just days before the scheduled January lineup announcement, Ariana Grande was quickly booked into the headliner slot as his replacement.

Whoever replaces Ye this year will not have much time to get ready. As of now, any new act has less than 13 days before they take the stage. Most likely, that means whoever replaces Ye will already be on tour or is preparing to go on tour — which is not Goldenvoice’s preference. Typically, most artists playing the festival must agree to not perform at competing festivals before Coachella or announce West Coast touring dates until after the festival ends. Goldenvoice will drop the requirement if it needs too, but that does not mean a competing promoter would waive its exclusivity rights to accommodate Goldenvoice.

A good example would be The Weeknd, who is launching a Live Nation-backed stadium tour in early July. It’s possible that The Weeknd’s contract includes a radius clause preventing him from playing Coachella. Live Nation could waive the requirement and make a one-time exception for one of its most successful artists – after all, many of the Weeknd’s West Coast shows are already sold out. Or Live Nation — the leading competitor of Goldenvoice’s parent company, AEG — could simply say no and prevent the Weeknd from playing Coachella or any other non-Live Nation festival.

That’s unlikely and could result in negative attention for Live Nation, which has a partnership with The Weeknd’s manager Wassim “Sal” Slaiby. And Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino has accommodated Coachella in the past, both for Grande in 2019 and for Swedish House Mafia this year.

Besides, headlining Coachella can help a tour sell more tickets because of the festival’s massive audience and global reach through its streaming partnership with YouTube. For most artists, a headlining slot is bucket list item and validation of how far they have come in their careers. While Tollett doesn’t have time to waste, he should have a fair number of good options to choose from and is expected to decide in the next couple days.

 

 

Oh yeah, the polo fields are shaping up nicely.  13 days left

Kendrick is filming a movie in April so he could not get out of that commitment. Childish Gambino had to move  the shooting schedule of Atlanta so he could headline 3 years ago. Not everyone is able to keep the magic month open just in case they wanna take the bag for 2 days of work.

[ErnestWorthing]

They were supposed to do it originally and bailed so can’t see them now changing their minds and deciding to go ahead with it.

I understood that was covid related, so they might have changed their mind now?

Seems massively unlikely given we are already in April and stadium dates tend to happen May/June.
