BLACKPINK, Bad Bunny & Frank Ocean Headline Coachella’s 2023 Lineup

The largest music festival of the spring season has just released its lineup.

Like recent Coachella lineups, international artists are set to star in several prominent positions. Korean pop group BLACKPINK and Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny headline the festival’s first two days. BLACKPINK is currently at the pinnacle of the ongoing international K-pop phenomenon while Bad Bunny’s 2022 album, Un Verano Sin Ti, was the first Spanish-language record to top Billboard‘s year-end U.S. album charts.

Frank Ocean, who was scheduled to headline the 2020 festival that was canceled due to COVID-19, will headline the third and final day. Ocean has not performed in public since his Blonde days in 2017.

Perhaps the lineup’s most significant shock is Jai Paul, a UK electronic artist even more elusive than Ocean, who will give his first-ever live performance. His 2007 demo recording “BTSTU,” was hosted on his MySpace page, and in 2011, XL Recordings officially released the single. That same year, both Drake and Beyoncé released tracks sampling the song.

Other performing artists include Gorillaz, Rosalía, boygenius, Charli XCX, Björk and Kali Uchis.

The festival will take place in Indio, California on the weekends of April 14-16 and April 21-23.

Although presale tickets don’t open until Friday, January 13, the music festival stated on Twitter that the tickets for the first weekend were limited.

General admission weekend passes start at $499.
