Get Ready for a Very Online Coachella
Doja Cat, Lana Del Rey, and Tyler, the Creator will bring their fans to the California desert — and to the deserts of Twitter, to defend them — when they headline the premiere music festival. It’s each artist’s first time with top billing at Coachella. Doja arrives off her rough-edged fourth album, Scarlet, and ready to surprise after a headline-making Coachella set in 2022. Del Rey, meanwhile, spent last summer on the festival circuit losing her vape, getting cut off at Glastonbury, and playing her ninth album, Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd. And Tyler, a perennial festival showman, would seem to be readying new music for the desert, after he last played the festival circuit in 2021 and 2022 with his raucous sixth album, Call Me When You Get Lost.
Coachella will be hoping to put on a smoother festival than 2023, when Frank Ocean’s messy week-one headlining set led to online fighting, ice-rink rumors, and an injury-related cancellation for week two. Blink-182 ended up surprise-headlining the second weekend, alongside the previously scheduled Bad Bunny and Blackpink. Whatever mess goes down in the desert this year, the stans will be making sure we hear about it.

— Coachella (@coachella) January 17, 2024Wait, we’re getting a No Doubt reunion?
Yes, and it comes after a long hiatus. Singer Gwen Stefani, bassist Tony Kanal, guitarist Tom Dumont, and drummer Adrian Young last performed together as a band in 2015.
When will influencers take over the desert?
Coachella 2024 will take place April 12-14 and 19-21.
Where can I watch online?
Take a wild guess. YouTube first became the festival’s exclusive livestream partner in 2011, and you will once again be able to tune in this year on Coachella’s official YouTube channel.
What about Revolve Fest?
Shut up. (But we’re sure it’s happening.)
