The festival’s lineup poster has also introduced a fourth headlining slot for the third consecutive year. The slot is located at the bottom of the poster and grants headliner billing without specifying a date. Though it is unclear why exactly it holds significance, it has been used as a late-night dance slot or a contingency headliner in case of cancellations.
Reports suggest that Dua Lipa and Shakira, both with upcoming albums in 2024, were considered for headlining slots for this year’s Coachella. However, Lipa’s timing did not align and organizers passed on Shakira.
The festival’s history also includes last-minute headliner changes leaving a scope for changes this year as well. Frank Ocean’s replacement by Blink-182 in 2023 was one such example that had taken a few fans aback.
