MANY CHICAGO RESIDENTS WILL BE SAVING THE DATE - WILL YOU?
News of Coachella's line-up for Spring 2022 was release today and it has local music fans all a buzz. Many plan to travel to California for what has been dubbed "the concert event of the year". Will you be one of them? Here's the story–
Harry Styles will join headliners Billie Eilish and Kanye West at the Coachella festival, sources confirm to Variety. Swedish House Mafia are also expected to perform, although it is unclear whether or not they are headliners. The official announcement and full lineup were released on Wednesday evening.
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 news of his presence on the bill was first reported by Billboard; Variety broke the news of West’s performance last week.
West was a Coachella headliner in 2011 and Eilish had a breakthrough performance in at the festival in 2019 (at 20, she is the youngest artist to top the Coachella bill); SHM previously performed at Coachella in 2012.
Along with West, Eilish and Styles, the lineup also includes Lil Baby, Daniel Caesar, Phoebe Bridgers, Big Sean, Megan Thee Stallion, 21 Savage, Danny Elfman, Doja Cat, Joji, Run the Jewels and many more.
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.
