Bad Bunny, Blackpink and Frank Ocean will headline the 2023 Coachella festival, promoters Goldenvoice announced on Tuesday. The lineup poster appears below, scroll down for an alphabetical listing of artists.
The lineup reflects the international direction in which the festival has leaned in recent years: Bunny is Puerto Rican and one of the biggest artists in the world; Blackpink are South Korean and are representing K-pop; and other top-billed artists include Icelandic legend Bjork, Spain’s Rosalia, Nigeria’s Burna Boy and British-Indian singer Jai Paul.
Elsewhere, hip-hop has a strong presence with Metro Boomin, Pusha T, Kid Laroi, $uicideboy, A Boogie, Latto, Earthgang, Flo Milli, GloRilla, 070 Shake and Rae Sremmurd; dance music is out in force with Calvin Harris, Kaytranada, Porter Robinson, Yaeji and vets Chemical Brothers, Underworld and Sasha & John Digweed; and the festival’s alternative base will not be disappointed: Gorillaz, Wet Leg, Boygenius (featuring Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker), Charli XCX, Remi Wolf, Ethel Cain, Christine and the Queens, Weyes Blood, Muna, Snail Mail, Sudan Archives and veterans Blondie and the Breeders are all on the bill.
The 22nd installment of the festival takes place at its home at the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, Calif., on the weekends of April 14-16 and April 21-23.
The announcement states that “very limited Weekend 1 passes remain; for your best chance at passes, look to Weekend 2.” Presale begins Friday, January 13 at 11am PT and does not guarantee pass type, packages or camping.
YouTube returns in 2023 as the exclusive livestream partner for both Coachella weekends on the festival’sofficial YouTube channel.
Ocean was originally scheduled to perform at the festival’s 2020 installment, which was announced in January of that year and ultimately postponed four times due to the pandemic; Ocean announced in 2021 that he was moving his slot to this year. Other scheduled 2020 headliners were Rage Against the Machine and Travis Scott.
Not for nothing, Calvin Harris appears at the bottom of the poster in a headline-sized font but with an unscheduled date, exactly as Swedish House Mafia did last year. PvNew speculated at the time that SHM were an insurance headliner in case originally scheduled headliner Kanye West pulled out, which is exactly what happened; it’s possible Harris is the insurance headliner in case the mercurial Ocean bails.
Last year’s headliners were Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, and a tag-team set from the Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia, with the latter performance replacing one from Kanye West, who pulled out just days before the festival’s first weekend. The 2022 lineup also included high-profile sets from Doja Cat, Lil Baby, Phoebe Bridgers, Megan Thee Stallion, 21 Savage and more.
Coachella is North America’s largest music festival and has already sold all of its 125,000 per-day tickets.
