Is this it?

Needs more Strokes if we're gonna say "Is This It?"

Also, unless I'm living in that obscure a way, are The Killers the only rock act on that bill?

Carly Rae Jepsen can absolutely rock if given permission to, but in a traditional sense, I'm drawing a blank.

I'm absolutely out the loop with her work then, given I still think of Call Me Maybe when her name is mentioned.

Missing out, I'm telling you. Some absolutely sensational bangers in that catalogue since. Try Run Away With Me, Cut to the Feeling and Surrender My Heart for post-Call Me Maybe bops.

Good god that has to be the worst coachella lineup yet. Who were the headliners who bailed?

[clarkete]

Did No Doubt add themselves, Janet Jackson style? 

[Wooderson]

Blur continuing to tour is fascinating.

My biggest take too

It's not as bad as I reckoned it was going to be but still pretty awful. 7 acts I'd take interest in but Coachella has been outdone on headliners in the USA easily.

Might just be the finish of where they are, I don't expect them at Glastonbury although I'm surprised they've taken lower than co-headline this time on a struggling year.

Fact is they’re just not very big in America - basically ‘that band who does the ‘woo-hoo’ song’ to most people. Damon must’ve enjoyed subbing with Gorillaz in ‘22.

No interest in his music, but I've always loved Tyler, the Creator's name. Something about that comma. More people should have commas in their names

Blur joining the group of artists to top Coachella and then come back lower down the bill. 

[foolee]

Terrible lineup, think there’s 6 acts I’d watch

[Andre91]

18-19 acts I’d want to see. More than your average Coachella!

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

No Doubt and Blur are nice surprises, hopefully No Doubt isn’t just a one off. 

[nikkic]

Thought we were going to get No Doubt last year.

Fingers crossed it happens this time.

Some decent bands in there and also a lot of guff. Wouldn't be for me, but it never is. 

The headliners would excite me more as a package than the current Glastonbury rumours but they're nowhere near as 'big' overall.

[Monty Pythagoras]

As popular as it is to give Suprefan at bit of stick I actually really like that lineup.

Headliners might not be too strong but the under card and DJs are great.

Utterly hideous.

That said, it will be loved by the average America 18-25 year old and will sell out. So job done.

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. 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

All that said, there's lots on the undercard for me. Yes to Blur, Justice, Grimes, Brittany Howard, Adriatique, Deftones, Skream & Benga, Purple Disco Machine, Dettmann, CdW, Folamour, Barry Can't Swim. Actually, the electronic side of the festival is quite strong, to be fair. 

It ain't $600 strong...but those cash registers are tempting...

[NorthernSoul52]

Hatsune Miku on there. Missed that. 

[glimmers_of_hope]

Different strokes for different folks. I think that is a really good coachella lineup to be honest, lots I would see there.

Justice,  jungle, young  fathers, jockstrap, bicep,Skream, benga,  Barry can't swim,  last dinner party, black country new road,  no doubt,  lana del rey,  blur, Tyler, doja cat,  the Japanese House, deftones, the beths, grimes, the drums, orbital, bar italia, blessed Madonna, mandy,indiana, oneohtrix point never.

Also, nearly all those people have played glasto before.
