Hundreds of thousands of revelers were descending on California’s Coachella Valley for the premier desert arts festival that kicks off Friday, which for the first time won’t feature a white headliner.
Both acts debuted at Coachella in 2019 to great fanfare, teeing up an eventual headlining slot.
The headliners—in particular Puerto Rico’s Bad Bunny, who is by most measures the world’s biggest contemporary artist—are some of the buzziest in years, since Beyonce shut down the stage in 2018 with her revered “Homecoming” show. “People were in disbelief because this seems so not a representation of mainstream American popular music in the way that Coachella has represented that before.”The weekend is set to host perhaps the most international lineup Coachella has ever booked, including Spanish phenomenon Rosalia, Iceland’s Bjork and Nigeria’s Burna Boy.
For CedarBough Saeji, a professor of Korean and East Asian studies who specializes in K-pop, the festival lineup emphasizing the hottest acts from across the globe is long overdue.
