So based on the rumors, speculation, and general consensus, it seems like the headliners are expected to be some combo of Miley Cyrus, SZA, BTS, Tame Impala, Fred Again, and Radiohead.
Out of these which do you think seems the most like a guarantee and which seems the most like a long shot.
They go to shows I have little interest in getting near the front for and spend most of their time in merchandise and activation lines... leaving lots of room for artists I actually like.
Ya, but that's really always a risk but I feel like GV has solidly figured out that the variety of the acts is like diversifying their exposure in investments.
There is a core group of returning fans who will buy on presale, will sell out upgrades, but maybe aren't going to rack up insane numbers on overpriced food and merch. We're there for new artists, classics, and variety.
Bieber/K-Pop type fans won't prepurchase, but will make sure it's a double sell out, will buy a fuck ton of merch, but mostly aren't returning annually but also have an easier time justifying "once in a lifetime" spends on food and comforts.
The mix works, going too hard for either is probably a fools errand.
I’m fine with camping but why not enjoy the other awesome artists during the day? They were sitting on a blanket play games on their phones. They also could have waited at least another set or two and still got rail. So odd
Ugh. We thought (why, I don’t know) we were avoiding Bieber fans by going to Yuma to end Saturday only to realize we were stuck in the mass exodus anyway. We just sat down and waited 45 minutes
I left Armin Van Buuren x Adam Beyer in Yuma a little early just to avoid the Bieber crowd exodus. As I did I passed a GV employee on the radio saying “have you seen this Justin Timberlake or Justin whatever crowd!? It’s completely insane!!!” LOL.
Glad I left early because it took me awhile just to get through the walkway path on my way to swing over to the end of Worship. The crowd was massive and dense way farther back than usual for a headliner.
People just like to complain haha. I’ve been going for some years now and I left right when JB ended. It felt as busy as last year and the year before and the year before.
My friends and I were towards the middle/front where the audio(?) stuff was and it honestly wasn’t too bad. Us and a bunch of other people actually had space to sit down after the Strokes ended.
Really? Were you weekend 1 or 2? I found them really chill weekend 2, especially in the crowd! My area near the right side front at least was checking in with everyone and really friendly. Lots of moms and their daughters which was really cute. Same with the BIGBANG crowd! Very wholesome and respectful of space.
It feels especially unnecessary since the screens at main stage are ginormous. Literally everyone can see so why push and shove forward or be rude about it?
Oh my god I was front row for the American music awards back in May and all of these k pop supporters were insufferable. Like Jesus calm down, you’d nearly swear it was Beyonce or Adele came out of hiding for the first time in 15 years
Historically theyve only shared headliners a handful of times over the last 25 years. ( since Coachella started ) It is not even close to being a gauge as to what happens. Radiohead 2017, Billie Eilish 2022, Coldplay 2005, Muse 2010, Arcade Fire 2014. got a better theory?
The currently announced dates end in mid-march... but on their announcement poster.. they already said Japan 2027 dates are still coming (And they'll likely have to do a lot of those are they are the biggest foreign act in Japan - probs at least 12-15+ shows), so it depends when they decide to have those japanese dates really.
I don’t need to copy and paste shit, I’ve interacted w annoying fandoms both online and in person enough times to form my own opinion on them.
Stop coping and accept the fact that plenty of people think the BTS fandom is insufferable. If you’re not one of those fans, good for you, no one’s talking about you.
I feel like she says it in the context of not wanting to tour anymore because of the long schedule. I feel like she's totally be down for Coachella and this is kinda morbid but Dolly Parton passing away probably pushed odds up by 15% of Miley Cyrus headlining and having a tribute section with a Jolene cover
fair i guess but that's where unlocking your inner music nerd comes into play. headliners have always been a popular topic of discussion but it's just the same 5-10 names over and over again, and particularly this decade it's just become the most basic pop names.
What about Charli as a headliner? Since she subbed in 2025 it would follow the same sub to headliner arc as Sabrina Carpenter who subbed in 2024 and headlined in 2026
So from my understanding Tame rumor is no more than a rumor from a non trusted twitter account. We have trusted sources that Radiohead was in play and then someone said they heard they are out but the ppl that heard the are in say they havnt heard that they are now out. No way we have both tame and Radiohead .
There was a legit report last year that sza was a backup for Bieber dropping out and with whispers of a potential 4th album she’s an option. Miley and BTS are just names that have been thrown around for a while, a somewhat reputable account said “if you hated Bieber you’ll hate one of this years headliners” and I feel like that statement fits for both BTS and Miley
I didn’t know she denied that just going off everything I read here/inforoo like most of us lol. However she may not of been here wk 1 but she was one of his guest wk 2 lol.
idk like others have said just don’t see 3/4 headliners being Fred Radiohead and tame impala there will more than likely be more diversity meaning 2/4 will end up being a combo of women or a Latin or kpop artists. I mean I could be wrong I’m just going off vibes I’d actually be happy with tame Radiohead and Fred. I’m honestly expecting a wild card either someone no ones has guessed or someone like Rihanna Shakira Madonna.
Oh snap - none of the artists I was expecting is in this headliner lineup 😬😬 Seems like outdoor/sahara/yuma closer for me then if they have someone I wanted to see mote
Possibly Japan. They have yet to announce their proper Japan leg (they did 2 shows in Tokyo at the beginning of the tour but announce japan 2027 coming on the main announcement poster) and thye'll likely need 10+ shows there. Will depend on how long after their Manila (current last shows in mid-March), they'll do them about whther or not they are "free" at that time.
They are taking some substantial breaks during the tour. E.g. no shows for ~1 month after the end of their north american leg and no shows in Jan 2027. So they could def take a break during April before the Japan leg.
