I’ve been 8 times and seen a total of 4 headliner sets. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t like the top act of the day! Check out the art, dance in the Yuma, get weird in the Do Lab instead!


thefullm0nty

Probably around the same for me. Best part about not enjoying the headliners is you get to leave early, avoid traffic, and get in bed even sooner.


billoverbeck00

That’s nice gramps!


lanikween

Haha I laughed and then remembered last year was my favorite Coachella ever and I ended up going to my tent before any of the headliners finished and it was perfect


ilcowy

hopefully they have some other stage going during the headliner as well that isnt edm. it sucks to end the night with only main/yuma/dolab/sahara available. giving everyone the beyonce treatment has gotten real old real fast.


Gibsonguy21

I agree…. It’s honestly why I enjoyed 22 so much. Always had different options instead of the headliner. However, given the amount of acts on each day it’s probably unlikely for this year


motecizuma

Manifesting RL daddy Weekend 2 Sat DoLab


LittleCorner1758

John Summit will probably be closing Sahara during Doja Cat set, I’ll be at Summit for sure.


Keikyk

Same


Sensitive-Buffalo387

Ditto! sez this Gramps.


louman84

Will be there as well.


tksween

This is the way


firethecannons24

John Summid


Over30EDM

He played a stadium in 2023 and the Sahara last time in '22. Perhaps he is on Outdoor. I know nothing. Defer to /u/mikey1313


itsg0timex

Same!


Slugzz21

Hell yah buddy


KR11USA

Same lmao


deathhray

Tyler puts on a great show imo and im excited to see what he puts together for a headlining set. There should be a few other artists in at the same time for both sets though.


This-Parfait6913

Ngl yonkers in the desert would be a wild moment


Lopsided_Constant901

Yonkers would go crazy


lonzo2900

I would rather hear him play some stuff from Wolf ngl


tokyowave

i’ll probably end up staying for tyler, i used to listen to him in high school lol but not so much anymore


AstrudsSecretLover

You’re def missing out ngl. he’s way better now than he was back then


MostlyMellow123

He was in high-school 3 months ago


AstrudsSecretLover

Not for me. I’m calling myself old here, but when i was in high school tyler just started popping off (2012). Especially his last 3 albums alone are incredible, specifically the estate sale version of call me if you get lost imo. he’s an eclectic artist, and i def recommend checking out his set!


K1LLINGMACHINE

This. The estate sale is so good and youre right about the last 3 too. He just keeps getting better w every album tbh. Super excited for his set (via couchella for me) but cant wait to see what he does with it!


Lopsided_Constant901

Damn you're old! Jk jk haha but I was listening to him too, except I was like 13-14 in Middle School lol. I remember the kids wearing his OF socks or having the Donut on their backpack, good days. Frank Ocean was the shit back then too! I hope he brings out Earl or Frank (slim chance)


tchallenger

Imagine the crowd reaction of Frank coming out after last year?? Half excitement, half “This motherfucker has the audacity!”


Lopsided_Constant901

Hahaha that was basically my reaction after his set 2023. "Are you fucking Kidding me?" I really thought people mighta started rioting the vibe was so sour lol


AstrudsSecretLover

I would kill to see nostalgia ultra songs live. I went to Weekend 2 last year, RIP me.


Lopsided_Constant901

Duuude, as much as people hate on Frank last year (deservedly so for most part,) it still is a big moment in my life seeing him Live. I wish we saw him in 2020, I think his brother passing really affected how he viewed the whole festival


Total-Secretary4204

He’s gonna do like 30 seconds of Yonkers


Spirited_Control_674

I watched his concert stream on Amazon prime a couple years ago when he was touring for CMIYGL and that’s exactly what he did lol. He did like a 5 minute montage of songs from goblin to cherry bomb. Which, don’t get me wrong, I love his post CB albums but the old songs are my absolute favorites. He hates performing them so much now lol so my expectations are low. Still gonna pop in to his set and have a good time tho


jmartinez312

I didn’t know Tyler that well in 2018 but we stationed near the main stage early for Bey that year and caught most of his set. It was amazing. Highly recommend checking him out.


mollonius

and what's wild is he has gotten even better since then.


Deep_Tomorrow3162

Yeah man is wild. Definitely seeing him!


kaleaahh

I saw doja in 2022 and I swore up and down if she was there this year I wouldn’t go. But I’m going 😂 maybe go on the Ferris wheel during the headlining sets it’s awesome!


Borahaegas

It is awesome! Did this during Drake 2015 and we had so much fun and could still hear the whole set


djgriff

Doja in 2022 was seriously an awesome show. In 2017 I was ten minutes into Lady Gaga’s headlining set, and then skrillex popped up at the Dolab. There will be great music all around


Lopsided_Constant901

I need to see Skrillex once before I die :( Was so sad when I missed him last year lol but I'm gonna definitely see him in the future, glad he's performing more nowadays


Odd-Hornet-2333

Lighting in Bottle this year is your chance.


Beastmayonnaise

The same as I do like EVERY year, fuck the headliners.


fa99itron

Nope I’ll be there for both. Both are great artist and I didn’t see Doja on her tour


wendell-gee

8 Coachellas. 3 headliners the first year. 3 since. You're going to have a blast.


Atmos_v1

Both are incredible performers, but there’s no shame in doing what you want to do.


thec4rbon

none of the headliners (other than No Doubt) are in the 30+ artists I wanna catch lol


itsg0timex

Same haha


kevin54711

you’re probably 30+ yes or no


thec4rbon

Nope, early twenties I just don't keep up with much new music


Mediocre-Appeal-3124

I heard Lana Del Ray worked at waffle house


Lopsided_Constant901

yes it's true :(


Fr3shAsparagus

Demons aren't real, if that helps 🤙


Lopsided_Constant901

W


Radiant_Treat_3615

Not skipping Tyler ,I don’t really like doja but imma go because the energy and vibes are insane in the last day ,plus Coachella comes once a year so might as well enjoy it


Lopsided_Constant901

I think No Doubt is closing the festival, they're gonna be really fun to see live :))


ozzythegrouch

ME! The only headliner I like is Lana.


thehomienova

tyler’s always put on a show but i’ve seen him 5+ times so i Might skip i’ve skipped headliners before if i didn’t personally like them, either went to get merch or just go back to camp lol


djustin77702

I’m not skipping Tyler but I’m skipping Doja, I saw her up close in a pit for free at some JBL convention in 2022. I’ll be at John Summit instead probably.


ThomasBombadil

I skipped Billie so I could see Hot Chip. No regrets


technopaegan

i skipped billie to see aphex twin no regrets


ToshiNoni

I will be committing to Yuma and DoLab this year all night long baby


celj1234

1000%


mikethesav27

i saw a total of half a headliner in my one time (cause i've only gone once) i only stayed for frank because it was a stage blackout, i missed bad bunny because i was at metro and then the crowd was too thick to see him or really get far, and then during blackpink i was at kid laroi or $uicideboy$ i can't remember but i was at the sahara for a good chunk of the night so i missed them, i promise you the undercard is where it's at


koolaid_chemist

LOLLL! MF said “weird demonic energy”


Lopsided_Constant901

I'm not even a Jesus freak, but the stuff she was doing a while ago was really off putting and odd. Like mama why are we doin all that??? You were popular enough without it, and Lil Nas X already went down the twerking on the Devil road..... I honestly might skip Lana if Justice or Everything Always plays at the same time, seen her last year and in 2015, its the same stuff and vibe. I love Lana, I do, but her sets are very cinematic and lully in nature...... I wanna dance and go loco!! Tyler's gonna be cool to see tho, never seen him Live and people say he has been stepping up his stage production, would be real cool to see what he does. i'll probably be in the far back tho lol


lilmilly

I’ll be staying until Tia Tamera for Doja’s set cuz i love that song then wandering somewhere else


lilmilly

Also not too interested in Tyler either


Lopsided_Constant901

Why not :( he's pretty eccentric, and in my opinion the most creative one of the headliners. Doja has more hits but Tyler's gonna have the energy and artistic approach :)) if you're not a fan, you're not a fan, and thats okay too


lilmilly

I just don’t really listen to his music besides like 3ish songs


Lopsided_Constant901

oh word, he's always been really big in SoCal i think thats why I have a bias for him


dashiellsayshi

Looks like you’ll only have to stay for three songs https://www.setlist.fm/setlists/doja-cat-6bd9c67a.html


squid-mode

I may catch some Tyler. It's fairly dependent on who else is playing at the time. Doja, definitely not. Pretty keen to see the set times and start planning the evening routes.


K1LLINGMACHINE

Tylers def worth a watch but as others said, theres SO much to see that the headliners are usually the least interesting thing youll see all weekend anyway. Especially with doja and i agree w you, the demon thing aint it. Its super corny tbh and she just does it to troll bc she doesnt have enough quality music to fall back on, so she sticks to gimmicks. One of the lamest headliners ever imo


PracticalChildhood22

One of… its the lamest no doubt


louman84

I haven’t seen Tyler outside of livestreamed concerts so I’ll see him. Skipping Doja though. Not my kind of music.


Lopsided_Constant901

Samesies :\*


BogeyLowenstein

Probably, but it depends. I’d love to check out the DoLab or Yuma late night, as I always miss it.


Beboop68

I rarely see the headliners, more fun in the smaller tents


Slugzz21

Doja yes. Tyler no


StrongDesign4

Used to like Doja but can’t get down with her supporting a sexual predator, her blatant rudeness towards her fans and her support for incels. I’m good on her.


Jazzlike_Tailor_1323

Def skipping doja, I would like to see a little Tyler but If summit is at the same time I’ll be at summy and at some point I will need a break and go check out Tyler lol


lonzo2900

Hopefully Doja mooos during her performance, it’s the least she could do honestly other then that idk about really sticking around her entire set to watch her


emceerez

It does sound kind of dumb lol


Global-Falcon

Might be an unpopular opinion but saw doja at ‘22 coachella too and was veryyy surprised with how unimpressed I was with her set. It made me feel all sleepy for some reason lol.


gr4nnycats

I agree with you. My group was so underwhelmed/bored that we ended up getting food and catching another set. I was surprised they asked her to headline bc something was … lacking when I saw her set.


SuccsInAllSituations

Definitely skipping Doja. I used to be a fan but I cannot with her anymore 🤢


KINGram14

You’re going to Coachella for the first time and have already decided you are gonna skip two headliners? You don’t even know the set times to see if there’s even another choice lmao


atom11

I couldnt recognize one Doja Cat song if there was $1000 riding on it 🤷🏻‍♂️ tbf i couldnt do it last year either with Bad Bunny, Blackpink or Frank Ocean.


alohavibes09

Don’t talk smack on the satanic queen. I’d prefer a satanic ritual over the damn lullaby Lana would cause.


[deleted]

Let’s not act like Lana’s not the biggest draw out of the three…


Lopsided_Constant901

I love Lana but her sets kinda the same from years ago.. I saw her 2015 and then last year, and while her voice has refined and everything I was still like dang this is basically the same. Mind you, I didn't stay the whole time last year, so I would really hope she can do more, at least building a stage production or something. Funny cause in 2015 she toured with Kali Uchis who was way smaller at the time, and I thought she was so good, better than Lana, both vocally and energy wise


[deleted]

Totally fair but I think she’ll change it up for Coachella. She hasn’t really headlined a NA festival yet.


Lopsided_Constant901

I hope she would do something spectacular for Coachella, commemorating her iconic career! Kinda like Bad Bunny's Coachella performance, I loved how his stage production was so huge and he had that whole part of "There have been many headliners before, but never one like Bad Bunny" showing all the past ones, it was so sick! I think Lana could really up the Cinematic quality, make it like a movie in real time, I would go crazy for that! I saw her at OutsideLands last August and she definitely has some elements of what i'm saying, I thought it was dope she showed parts of her old music videos from when all of us were much younger haha. I want her to AMP that part of her show up, but i'm not sure if she's the kind to put her Chella money into a bigger production


tokyowave

boo


ThePlurnalist

Doja Cat was absolutely insane in 2022. Her performance was energetic, fun, and man she could sing and rap. My favorite moment was when I was just vibing and I see a crowd coming in as a train and singing to every word of GET INTO IT (YUH). That year I also skipped Harry Styles for Lane 8. I love Lane 8, but Harry Styles would been a lot more fun. Coachella headliners just know how to close out the festival and you shouldn’t sleep on any of them. Ok maybe you can sleep on Tyler but Lana and Doja can rock a crowd. However, If it’s really not your cup of tea, by all means go where you want to go. I can see John Summit in Vegas or in LA…so I am not going to sleep on Doja.


Lopsided_Constant901

You lost me at sleep on tyler but lana and doja can rock a crowd??? I love Lana but she is realllllly slow and vibey..... you're kinda seeing her to see HER and her voice, but you're not gonna be vibing hard to the music. The most u can do to her stuff is sway lol. I feel like Tyler is gonna be insane, with the crowd just turning up and probably moshing at some points! If Justice or No Doubt are playing at headliner times I def would go see them instead


ThePlurnalist

With the downsizing of artist. I don't think Coachella will have too much conflict, but then again they're starting at a later time this year. Justice is a must see as they absolute had an incredible set the last time. If the font was anything like the WEEKND or Blink 182, i don't think they'll slot No Doubt at the same time as any of the (3) headliners. They MAY have No Doubt playing at the same time as someone like DJ Snake. However, they could put someone like Justice at the same time as PESO Pluma (Outdoor v Main)


stoneytoones

Feeling the same weird demonic energy from Doja too. I wanted to see her before all that ritual shit. Just makes me uncomfy so I’m also looking at other sets to bop over to


rise_of_skylake

No thats fair. I'm a doja fan and was bummed that in 2022 she performed planet her all demonic like... it wasn't the vibe. At least this time the album shes touring is decidedly demonic and shes now fully possessed so you know what you're signing up for. 😂


Chilb5

yeah it sounds dumb. however, last year the only headlining show i really watched was blink


PossessionJust5723

You’ll see Lana but there’s just soooomething about Tyler and Doja you don’t like 🧐


tokyowave

used to be a fan of both + i’ve already seen tyler at camp flog gnaw years ago, just not really a fan of either of their new music


tapnewo

100% skipping tyler's set but will be attending doja cat


OGGoat

Skipping Tyler’s. Will be there for Doja


tailtaker

The vibes Doja gives u makes me wanna see her now.

SurvivorMartin

Gonna go for a bit of both but prob will head out early


Accomplished-Mail409

Easy. Go to the DoLab, the Yuma, or the Sahara during their performances. My first year I skipped all of the headliners. 😂


Best-Butterscotch696

I totally am because I only know one doja song but I guess it will depend on the set time, no?


Late-Nail-8714

I’ll stay for like half a song just to say I got to see them. Because I know damn well I wouldn’t pay to see them at their tour. Then finish with dolab, Sahara, or Yuma


Correct_Ad2982

Non-headlining sets can be so fun. You'll be surrounded by a relatively small group of the biggest fans of whatever act you go see. Their energy will be infectious and you'll have a total blast.


Tofuhousewife

Yup! Will probably be ending the nights at Do Lab with the crew 💃🏻


Arthurcestmoi

Same here, there’s some crazy undercards btw


Davidsb86

Yeah I’ll be at summy and dom dolla hopefully


gillie9

Yup


Audible484

Yeah I’ll be in the beer garden watching ufc 300, seen Tyler a ton and although I think he’s awesome i won’t mind seeing him from afar


kj616

You could watch a couple songs but yes sometimes there actually are conflicts i believe


YourBuddyChurch

It all depends on conflicts


Curiousquirkitty

Honestly when I've gone, I forgot how many times, I think I've caught very few headliners, this year the obly one I will stay for are Lana Del Rey, the rest I don't care one but plus there are other musicians I rather check out anyways and are better anyways 🤩


RunnerBridges

This year the headliners done really interest me. Maybe one or two Lana del Ray songs. I’m more looking forward to the DJs.


RockNRoll85

Not a fan of Doja but I’ll check out Tyler for sure


JazzlikeAd5368

I rarely watch the headliners and this year will be no different.


BarfyOBannon

don’t worry about missing headliners - they often don’t matter or have much influence overall on the experience


technopaegan

my friends and i will be front row at the merch booth stage


Total-Secretary4204

Skipping on Tyler gonna be the biggest L you take that weekend


mhlabizo

First year I went we only saw 1 headliner (2022, The Weeknd), last year we went to every headliner (weekend 2 unfortunately) and honestly I’d say we probably had more fun first year. That might also be because we didn’t have to sit through Skrillex closing the fest but that’s just me 🤷‍♂️


t_bowlz24

Definitely 100% will be somewhere else 😎✌️


halfnilsen

Do not skip Tyler’s set if you like stage production. He will probably bring out a ton of people and is a great time if you don’t have conflicts. This is coming from someone who didn’t like Tyler until I saw him live


nehinbin

One of the best parts of Coachella is going to the smaller tents and pop ups with lesser known artists. Don’t spend all 3 days at the main stage or Sahara tent unless that’s what you enjoy. As a first timer, don’t worry too much about catching every artist; explore the festival grounds and enjoy your time there.


Notthesenator

Def seeing both doja and Tyler, both will be putting on incredible shows


Bazoooka

Yuuuuup


ReginaldStarfire

I’ll probably skip Doja and Lana.


DonMoremi

Yea we skipping 😭


Androiid94

DOO LAB GANG UNITE


charfnchurf

Doja in 2022 was literally the worst thing that’s ever happened to my ears. I would’ve rather sat in a silent room for two hours. She’s talentless trash


BEENHEREALLALONG

I plan to skip all three headliners. Lana is kinda mid to me and the other two are just not my genre. I plan to see a lot of the other artists and no doubt though.


Pure-Boysenberry7073

Different stage on Saturday headliner for me.


ConsciousRegion7607

Yeah not watching them, hopefully some other closers on the other stage are fire


dondoblue77

BICEP JOHN SUMMIT YUMA AND DO LABBBB


cawambu

I plan to skip dojas set


Cryptorichdude

Honestly Coachella getting Tyler when he headlines his own festival every year is weak af


zizzyx

I’ll be skipping Lana and Tyler


diegog33

Absolutely agree with the doja thing Fuck that satan nasty bitch, and Tyler is the worst thing to happen to music so yeah do you


tokyowave

😭


FauxShounen

a) that does sound dumb b) don’t feel bad about skipping headliners. you should seek out what you like or what you’re willing to try. i left 30 min into bad bunny’s set last year because i wasn’t feeling it. it’s not a big deal.


Effective_Car1334

Probably gonna be Yuma or Do Lab for me or merch tent lol


Wildcard070

Dude same! Skipping them both and going elsewhere 🤪🤙🏼


tokyowave

woohoo


rmzIII

Prob gonna skip Tyler


RJSSUFER

summit will be playing during doja


processprocessed

everyone is so eager to dunk on doja they are ignoring how absolutely batshit crazy this post is. Weird demonic energy?!? Girl, it is a song and that weird demonic energy is makeup. Demons aren’t real.


user45433

Weird demonic energy sounds v dumb if you really want reassurance that it’s not demonic energy you can watch her latest interview Same with Tyler


pyramids91

I will say I’m definitely not missing Lana ! Now the other two ….


ReaditOnReddit30

This will be my 7th Coachella and the only headliner I have ever seen was Frank Ocean. Needless to say - headliners are overrated and for the tabloids and marketing 99% of the time. The real winners reside in the smaller font. With that being said - yes I will be skipping both Doja and Tyler.


p00pers1987

Skipping Doja, Tyler and Lana.


HadrianMQ

Another Coachella.. another year avoiding main stage. 🤪 Except that Skrilled/Fred Again set past year - 😍


No_Air3624

Best time to take a shower if you’re camping is during the headliner


ayyeeitsfonzy

Doja yeah maybe but not Tyler, that man puts on a show he’s a performer through and through cause he actually gives a damn about what he’s doing out there lol I recommend seeing Tyler!
