Coachella<\/a> returns to the California desert, and GRAZIA Gazette<\/em> breaks down every can\u2019t- miss performance!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s 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\u2019s line-up has so many memorable acts that you don\u2019t want to miss a minute of the action.<\/p>\n

Bad Bunny<\/strong><\/a>, the reggaeton superstar who had the highest-grossing tour of 2022, kicks off the festivities on the first day\u2014and he\u2019s making history as the first Latin American solo artist and the first Spanish-language musician to headline the event.<\/p>\n

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<\/strong><\/a>, who was originally slated to perform in 2020 before the event was canceled due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Blackpink<\/a>, made up of members Jennie<\/strong>, Rose\u0301<\/strong>, Jisoo<\/strong> and Lisa<\/strong>, previously played at Coachella in 2019, and they\u2019ve made it clear that continuing to be a part of the historic festival is something they\u2019ve been thinking about for a long time. \u201cAnybody who loves music in Korea would love to go to Coachella, like a dream wish,\u201d singer Jennie has said.<\/p>\n

World famous DJ Calvin Harris<\/strong><\/a> is also set to make an appearance, but the specific date and time is still TBD. What\u2019s clear is that Gorillaz, Rosali\u0301a<\/strong> and Bjo\u0308rk<\/strong><\/a> are filling up the \u201creturning to the desert spot\u201d with Harris.<\/p>\n

Bjo\u0308rk, who has largely stayed out of the spotlight, is back with a new album, Fossora<\/em>, and she revealed there\u2019s one specific person who lured her in to sing at Coachella: Frank Ocean<\/strong>. “He asked me to perform with him, so I am performing right before him; that’s the only reason I said yes,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

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

Whether you\u2019re attending in-person or tuning in virtually, this show will have you dancing the day \u2014 and night \u2014 away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
