The Coachella festival will finally return in 2022, after two years of cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and its lineup will be headlined by Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, Ye (Kanye West) and Swedish House Mafia.
Harry Styles has been booked for this year’s Coachella festival, joining a lineup that includes headliners Kanye West and Billie Eilish, as well as EDM group Swedish House Mafia.
The British pop star (and former One Direction heartthrob) will headline the 2022 edition of pop music’s highest-profile festival, which is scheduled to go down April 15-17 and April 22-24 at the Empire Polo grounds in Indio, sources confirm to MarkMeets.
This will be the’ first performance at the festival by Styles, who sources say may release new music before the performance. He recently completed the biggest North American tour by any major artist since the pandemic began in early 2020, although he has not released a new album since “Fine Line” in December of 2019 and rumors about new music have been rife in recent weeks.
The show will mark the first time Coachella has taken place in three years, after the 2020 and 2021 editions were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A huge moneymaker for Goldenvoice, the Los Angeles-based promoter that puts it on, Coachella in 2020 was supposed to feature Frank Ocean, Travis Scott and a reunited Rage Against the Machine.
Last August, Goldenvoice chief Paul Tollett revealed that Ocean would headline the show in 2023. Scott reportedly dropped off the lineup after 10 attendees of his Astroworld festival died in Houston in November; Rage is said to have pulled out as well.
The festival, which is already sold out, is scheduled to take place over the weekends of April 15-17 and April 22-24, 2022, at its usual location of the Empire Polo Ground in Indio, Calif. However, the alarming omicron surge and the recent postponement of the Grammy Awards have many wondering whether the festival will take place in April, or be moved — for a fifth time — to a later date.
Coachella is North America’s largest music festival and has already sold all of its 125,000 per-day tickets, and the sheer logistics of more than 100,000 people traveling to and gathering at a single location create immeasurable possibilities for disease transmission.
A Goldenvoice representative didn’t respond immediately to a request for comment on Styles’ booking.
