Rumor has it that
Lana Del Rey and
Tyler, The Creator are confirmed to headline
Coachella 2024, which is slated for 4/12-14 and 4/19-21 at the
Empire Polo Club grounds in Indio, California.
Doja Cat is believed to be the third headliner, though we’re told she is not yet confirmed.
We understand that
Peso Pluma is also in the mix as the desert lineup shakes out and that this year will see the festival's most diverse undercard yet in terms of both genre and global representation. Meanwhile, word is there was a push by Coachella to secure
Dua Lipa for the fest but that she demurred due to timing.
Shakira’s team, for their part, apparently went to the mat trying to get her a headlining slot, but Coachella ultimately passed on her—the reasons for which have engendered much speculation. There was also talk of possible top slots for
The Rolling Stones,
Olivia Rodrigo and
Travis Scott.
Rage Against the Machine was long rumored to be returning as 2024 headliners, but those whispers were definitively kiboshed on 1/3 when drummer
Brad Wilk posted on
Instagram that RATM “will not be touring or playing live again,” effectively announcing the band’s breakup once more. After splitting up in 2011, the quartet had previously been slated to headline in 2020, which would have been its first gig in nine years. Then the pandemic struck. Rage played 19 shows in 2022 but was sidelined after singer
Zack de la Rocha was injured; it canceled its tour and had to drop out of the Coachella lineup.
