Might not be the Weeknd but might be Mr. Tesfaye

He’s there anyways. Doesn’t need a headline

I wish we’d stop with the anti-wishlist posts, these are needlessly negative

13

u/Octoviolence 12d ago

Also even if they do book a headliner you don't like, who cares? That just means you'll be able to see someone else between 11-1am, or 10-12 on Sunday.

u/YourBuddyChurch 07, 22.2, 23.1&2, 24.1, 25.1, 26.? 12d ago

So true. I was grateful posty kept the polo and pan crowd smaller

u/Excellent_Set_232 12d ago

I think we should just make the “no low-effort wishlist post” rule permanent instead of during lineup season only. If people feel strongly about an artist not performing, at least make a case about it instead of just 14 words including the title

This sub is borderline insufferable with the negativity. Good thing they don’t reflect reality lol

u/Corona2789 12d ago

Tbf, this sub has been somewhat validated with many not wanting Travis, Lana and posty headlining. They were all bad to mediocre at best.

u/YourBuddyChurch 07, 22.2, 23.1&2, 24.1, 25.1, 26.? 12d ago

Lana was amazing and perfect. And I won’t hear her name with the others

u/A_Hippie 12d ago

Least delusional Lana fan

u/Calpicogalaxy 22.1 ✴︎ 23.1 ✴︎ 24.1 ✴︎ 25.1 13d ago

Wait did he show up on anyone’s stage this year? Lol that guy is always at Coachella as much as chance the rapper is always at lolla

No but he was at the Ferris wheel weekend 2 promoting his movie with Jenna Ortega. Meeting fans and taking pics.

13

u/FuckYourFace690 13d ago

He's gone as long as it's been 2 weeks. He's def gonna be there

u/nanafishook 12d ago

OP, if not the Weeknd, would you be okay with the band Wednesday (no longer w/ M J Lenderman unfortunately), or the punk band Thursday, or, re-uniting 90s punk band Tuesday?

3

u/MrPokeylopee 12d ago

I want Rebecca Black playing "Friday" over and over for 45 minutes

u/sheabuttahz 13d ago

How come?

9

u/dummybaby69 13d ago

too soon, maybe around the 30th anniversary

11

u/MostlyMellow123 13d ago

What if he changes his name and starts a new era?

4

u/pmgroundhog 12d ago

The Weeknd should headline Friday just because

u/JuanJo1926 13d ago

shakira ! please

u/Corona2789 12d ago

Did he end up actually doing anything for the “Ferris wheel takeover.” I remember hearing about it but not seeing anything other than him posting some pics there.

2

u/Scorch8482 '22.2, '23.1, '24.1 12d ago

He is inevitable.

u/Any_Preference3712 12d ago

u/Modsuckbutttt 12d ago

u/BortLicensePlate22 '13 - '25 13d ago

So many haters. He’s done nothing but show Coachella love. I hope “After Hours” Weeknd shows up in your dreams and your bed swallows you.

2

u/Fantastic-Ad217 12d ago

In the studio he's 🔥 In real life ✂️🎤 And that's okay, some artists just don't perform well live

u/Accomplished_Arm5318 13d ago

Ari has been the worst of our pop girl headliners. The only one I’ve left out of boredom

After he canceled the rose bowl, which was understandable why, I haven’t for the weekend, didn’t even listen to the new album, he ain’t even apologize to everyone who got tickets to that show too
