Is Coachella back in business in 2022? A recent report suggested that Kanye West — who now goes by Ye, will headline the festival after Travis Scott pulled out due to the tragic Astroworld tragedy. Billie Eilish is also in talks to headline the event — likely Friday — sources confirm.
The pop star has been rumored to be in negotiations to headline the two-day festival, while West is expected to kick off the festival on Sunday. Goldenvoice is also considering moving the Swedish House Mafia out of the headliner slot, Billboard has learned, as organizers evaluate all of their options for the two-weekend festival, April 15-17 and April 22-24, at the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, California.
TMZ and Variety first reported the news of Eilish and Ye’s bookings, respectively.
While Ye and Eilish are certainly big gets for the festival, some observers are now questioning the viability of Coachella’s April dates — which were set last June — amid skyrocketing coronavirus infections due to the highly contagious Omicron variant. In addition, earlier Wednesday (Jan. 5), the Recording Academy postponed its 2022 Grammys ceremony, slated for Jan. 31. Instead, sources tell Billboard Coachella Fest may now be held sometime in the spring.
Covid-19 policy for Coachella allows for a negative covid test taken within 72 hours of the event.
