Good news for music lovers as Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival which is set to happen in April 2023 is to have headliners including BLACKPINK, Bad Bunny and Frank Ocean enthralling everyone with their music. A full line-up of the music stars performing at this much-awaited global music festival was revealed on 10 January and it is nothing short of impressive.
For the first time ever, making history is the K-pop girl band BLACKPINK, slated to perform on April 15 and 22. Another first-time headliner is Bad Bunny, the first Latin musician to perform here.
Another attraction for this year’s Coachella is Frank Ocean who was booked for the 2020 event which eventually got cancelled due to the pandemic. Also, EDM sensation Calvin Harris is a returning artist to the desert.
Indian music sensation Diljit Dosanjh who created waves with his ‘Born To Shine’ world tour and Pakistani artist Ali Sethi are two of the top performers as well. This inclusive line-up sure has wowed the fans around the globe. The event will occur over two weekends, 14-16 April and 21-23 April at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
