All the chatter about which living legends would constitute the ultimate Desert Trip 2 (Bruce? Petty? Steely?) has taken the focus away from the annual guessing game of identifying the acts that will headline Coachella. According to the latest rumors, Paul Tollett and Goldenvoice have locked in the big three for Coachella 2017, and they are Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar and Radiohead.
Of these, Radiohead could practically be considered the house band at the Indio fest, having played there four times between 2001 and 2012. Kendrick made a surprise appearance this year during Ice Cube’s set. And while Beyoncé hasn’t performed at the fest, she’s been a regular in the VIP section in recent years.
Other speculation has the original lineup of Oasis—starting with the battling Gallagher brothers—reuniting for a world tour, which will be massive if it pans out.
