DESERT BLOOM

Goldenvoice chief and Coachella general Paul Tollett is earning praise across the biz for the desert festival’s lineup, which—particularly as regards headliners Bad Bunny and BLACKPINK—embraces the increasingly global thrust of the current marketplace. It’s a huge coup for the fest and for its head honcho as his top acts have been stunningly successful on stages worldwide. If only there were a spot on the globe where Tollett could escape this HITS shout-out.
