It’s that time of the year again! Arguably one of the biggest music festivals in the world, Coachella’s 2023 lineup and headliners reveal is always the most anticipated time of the year as it kicks off the festival season. Spanning over two weekends in April, Coachella puts on historic headlining acts like Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, The Weeknd and Beyoncé. So it’s no wonder that people are speculating on Reddit threads and Twitter about who’s going to grace the main stage.

The festival is run by Goldenvoice who announcedl last year’s lineup on social media on January 11, 2022. The most popular festival in the world is packed with artists who cover so many genres and perform in the heat of the desert in Indio, California. 2022’s acts included Megan Thee Stallion, Phoebe Bridgers, Joji, Lil Baby, Jamie xx and Doja Cat.

Here are the acts that are performing to be in the Coachella 2023 lineup and as headliners.

Read on for the confirmed Coachella 2023 lineup’s headliners.

BLACKPINK – Saturday, April 15 & April 22

After performing at the festival in 2019, BLACKPINK will make history as the first K-Pop group to headline Coachella. The girl group consisting of Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa and Rosé released their second album Born Pink in 2022 and subsequently went on their world tour to promote it. Their world tour dates still continue on for the spring of 2023, and will swing by to make the Coachella crowd taste that Pink Venom.

Frank Ocean – Sunday, April 16

The elusive Frank Ocean was confirmed as a headliner for Coachella in 2020. However, with COVID-19 Lockdown restrictions, the festival was canceled for that year. It’s been a while since Frank Ocean performed live since his latest album blonde in 2016. The Grammy Award winner hasn’t confirmed that he would play the festival, but all signs lead to it. Coachella co-founder Paul Tollett told Los Angeles Times that he predicted that Frank would be the headliner for 2023, and he was absolutely right.

“Right now, it’s the Wild West,” Tollett said last year. “I’m just trying to be as fair as I can to artists and to the fans to make sure that eventually they get to see everyone that we talked about.” Hopefully, like his song “Novacane” we get to meet Frank at Coachella this year and maybe hear some new and long-anticipated music as well.

Frank Ocean canceled his Weekend 2 set at Coachella 2023. Frank Ocean’s reps told Rolling Stone in a statement that after suffering a leg injury at the festival during the first week of Coachella, a doctor advised that Ocean not perform the following week due to two fractures and a sprain in his left leg. “It was chaotic. There is some beauty in chaos. It isn’t what I intended to show but I enjoy being out there and I’ll see you soon,” Ocean said in a statement provided by his rep.

Blink-182 will be replacing Frank Ocean as the main headliner for Coachella Weekend 2, per Variety. The band made a surprise announcement that they would reunite with its classic lineup of Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker at the start of Weekend 1. It was the first time in almost a decade that the lineup played together.

Guitarist and vocalist Tom DeLonge who left the band in 2015 and later rejoined in 2022, posted a photo of the band performing at the desert festival on Instagram. “From break ups, to plane crashes, to cancer… @blink182 is fucking back. We’ve only just begun to offend. Ya can’t cancel this shiiiiiiitttttttt”

When the Coachella festival schedule was announced on April 20, 2023, Four Tet, Skrillex, and Fred Again.. were announced to play the 10:25 p.m. slot after blink-182 to close out the festival.

Bad Bunny – Friday, April 14 & April 21

Bad Bunny has coveted the Friday slot as the headliner for the festival this year. He released the most popular album of 2022, Un Verano Sin Ti and had a sold-out 65-show stadium tour following its release. The Puerto Rican artist is the first Spanish-speaking headliner in the history of the festival.

Though according to Billboard, the “Tití Me Pregunta” singer will be taking a long-deserved break this year after the performance. “I’m taking a break. 2023 is for me, for my physical health, my emotional health to breathe, enjoy my achievements,” he told the publication. “We’re going to celebrate. Let’s go here, let’s go there, let’s go on the boat. I have a couple of sporadic commitments, and I’ll go to the studio, but there’s no pressure. Remember yourself, cabrón. You’ve worked your ass off.”

Rihanna was rumored to headline Coachella. According to the Instagram gossip account DeuxMoi, she was contemplating to perform at the festival.
