The truth is I’ve been a tour manager since 2015 and have worked with bands like Miike Snow, Pixies, the xx, and Weezer (the only ones I’ll mention). I feel like people are just ripping me because I said I work in the industry. See you all in the desert baby be safe and be good to each other
HL BACKUP SCHEDULER FULL
And I think they will keep with their previous trend of replacing any lost headliner with a full new artist rather than just swapping Calvin Harris to close on Sunday.Īgain happy to be completely wrong but I love a good deep dive I'd love to be wrong but my gut says no Frank O this year. Tyler is another likely choice, especially with a new single dropping and hints of a project coming sooner than expected (he also hasn't fully headlined Coachella yet). Smells a bit like a publicist working the internet to tie Bieber and Frank in a story ahead of an upcoming cancellation. some of the only recent headlines referencing Frank are tied to this Bieber quote about the Homer brand. He was heavily expected to headline according to Hits (along with Rihanna, Drake, Dua, and blink-182) and the recent landslide of internet gossip would make this a very viable act, especially knowing Tollett's tendency to chase the whitest of great white buffalos. My longshot prediction for a replacement act would be Justin Bieber.

I guess there's a chance that Frank would pop out during that set to play "Slide" plus a handful of songs, but I think a full HL set from Frank is not in the cards this year. A sizable figure but could definitely see him walking and coming back to do shows entirely his way.Ĭalvin Harris being included as a nebulous headliner on the lineup poster pretty much sealed the deal in my opinion, it mirrors exactly what happened with Swedish House Mafia being included last year with Ye being a wild card. I'm betting he only received 10% of the GV deposit which would be like $150-200k, assuming his full performance guarantee was somewhere between $1.5-3M. I know people who've worked FOH/audio and lighting at almost every live show he's ever done and almost all of them are off on other tours or committed to other big acts at coachella.ĭespite rumors of new Frank alias songs arriving on spotify, there are only fan theories to new music, otherwise just reports of him directing a new film with A24. By now all production specs are well past due for the festival's safety insurances, and there's no talk of production elements for Frank in the ether. Obviously he's one of the most secretive in the game but by now I would usually have heard some rumor about production rehearsals at the very least, even if he's rehearsing out of LA/CA. and my closest friends at GV have their poker faces locked on when I asked. Not a single person I know at any agency/promoter/mgmt co/pr firm/production crew has heard a confirmed peep about Frank. I've worked in the music industry for 10 years and feel confident in the reliability of most of the buzz that picks up around headliners, especially by now.

Gonna get a lot of hate for this but just sharing my thoughts. stay safe both weekends and especially during the drive, look out for each other and have a safe coachella 🫡 shouldnt have said that shit but im not sorry cus I love speculating this stuff, its why i joined the fucking coachella subreddit. Hope everyone who was there had a great weekend and to all the W2 folks I hope you have an incredible CoachellaĮDIT - i never say that I have verified insider info, just experience that i thought warrants a pov. I really want to know what will happen Weekend 2. It was beautiful and strange and ethereal at moments and obviously nothing that anyone I know would have expected. Sunday April 16 EDIT - what a strange experience that was. 2022 Weekend 2 Ride / Room / Camp Shareįriday April 21 EDIT - Be kind & love each other 🖤.
