    Rihanna and Kendrick passed on headlining in 2025 according to Bloomberg. Also the article says not all headliners are locked in yet.

    Gaga, Post and Fred look to be the leaked headliners, the Reddit post was deleted immediately. I guess it’s tied back to to some IG account that has connections within the LA area.

    I’ll stop buying presale if that turns out to be true. Really hoping not

    feels like the strongest headliners since 2021 at a glance, but I wouldn't see Gaga or Post if I went

    Post is a waste of a spot, dude already did all the smaller fests last year. This country pivot is cheesy as fuck but it was expected after 12 Carat and Austin both underperformed.

    Gaga already did her greatest hits set at the fest…she needs to have a fully realized show debuting the new record for it to have any type of buzz.

    Fred is Fred, great live show but still doesn’t have the mainstream crossover appeal. Doesn’t help that his recent arena tour was badly undersold with $5 tickets in every market.

    Fred again, lady Gaga and post Malone might make me want to reconsider even going

    same…does anyone know if you get a refund on your ticket if you bail on the payment plan? Or do they keep what you’ve paid so far?

    this is the year where I just really hope the undercard can come through cause Friday and Saturday last year were amazing. Sunday was basically dead for me.

    I didn’t go last year, and even tho the headliners are maybe gonna be underwhelming I’m just hoping they give us some good counter programming.

    After seeing one Post set at Bonnaroo last summer, I have zero desire to ever sit through that again. Give us Charli/Troye in the Sahara doing a version of the Sweat tour during Post.

    in completely nonsense news I learned today Paul T is a season ticket holder for the dodgers.

    he was also sitting behind home base today with Zack De La Rocha.

    Random Reddit account claiming BMTH is booked. Not sure I believe that but that’d be pretty cool booking. They’ve yet to do a US tour around the last record, right?

    Coachella is dead if they do that

    No that's would not be a cool booking

    HDD now reporting Green Day has entered the mix as a headliner.

    if I didn’t go mainly for the electronic bookings I would prob be on that same path this year.

    like just open up the fucking check book and call radiohead, nin, sade, the cure, depeche mode, etc…one of them would be nice…these rumors are sad (love GD but not at coach)

    I don't see Green Day as a headliner, but definitely as a sub

    Fred Again, Green Day, Post Malone

    HHD mentions that new headliners have been hard to come by in the streaming era, where hit songs instead of artists development have been prioritized.

    Don’t really see their headliners in 2025 being all white guys

    this is the biggest thing…I’d rather they scale them down and graduate Lisa, SZA, or Charli instead or going with the token big rock act.

    Booker out west named Yeazy is apparently saying Taylor is possible, so cue another year of Taylor speculation

    Also saying Green Day is confirmed but as a sub, same as Post Malone.

    I wonder who they booked that make Green Day agree to be a sub.

    I think GD is just super comfortable with where they are in the industry. They don’t need to be on top of the bill, they just did back to back stadium tours.

    I do not envy who is playing after them on Main.

    Post makes perfect sense as the sub for Taylor.

    John // OC now, OH forever.

    Assuming they're going to book a rock band to headline over Green Day and not get the crowd to leave, is there someone else that would fit? My brain goes to acts like Foo Fighters or Metallica, maybe Linkin Park but I don't really think those are great.
