Coachella returns to the California desert, and GRAZIA Gazette breaks down every can’t- miss performance!

It’s time to gather those crop tops and neon accessories because the iconic music festival Coachella is descending on Indio from April 14 to April 23. This year’s line-up has so many memorable acts that you don’t want to miss a minute of the action.

Bad Bunny, the reggaeton superstar who had the highest-grossing tour of 2022, kicks off the festivities on the first day—and he’s making history as the first Latin American solo artist and the first Spanish-language musician to headline the event.

The other two headliners during the three-day weekend include the South Koren girl group Blackpink (which also marks the first time a K-pop group is closing out the festival), and R&B singer Frank Ocean, who was originally slated to perform in 2020 before the event was canceled due to the pandemic.

Blackpink, made up of members Jennie, Rosé, Jisoo and Lisa, previously played at Coachella in 2019, and they’ve made it clear that continuing to be a part of the historic festival is something they’ve been thinking about for a long time. “Anybody who loves music in Korea would love to go to Coachella, like a dream wish,” singer Jennie has said.

World famous DJ Calvin Harris is also set to make an appearance, but the specific date and time is still TBD. What’s clear is that Gorillaz, Rosalía and Björk are filling up the “returning to the desert spot” with Harris.

Björk, who has largely stayed out of the spotlight, is back with a new album, Fossora, and she revealed there’s one specific person who lured her in to sing at Coachella: Frank Ocean. “He asked me to perform with him, so I am performing right before him; that’s the only reason I said yes,” she said.

Becky G, Yungblud and the Kid Laroi are sure to deliver epic moments. Plus, Charli XCX, MUNA, Blondie, Eric Prydz, Dominic Fike and Labrinth will also be taking the stage throughout the memorable two- week event.

Whether you’re attending in-person or tuning in virtually, this show will have you dancing the day — and night — away.

RAE SREMMURD

The hip-hop duo from Tupelo, Mississippi, was formed by brothers Slim Jxmmi and Swae Lee. In 2015, the performers released their debut album, ScremmLife, which was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The pair’s fourth studio album, Scremm4Life had an April 7 drop date — just in time for fans to learn every line before the duo hits the stage.

IDRIS ELBA

Yes, you read that right — the actor, who is also a DJ, will be spinning at the festival. In 2019, Elba previously played a two-hour set at Coachella that featured mostly house tunes. He even hit the DJ booth at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding reception in 2018.
