Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, and Kanye West are the confirmed headliners for this year’s Coachella festival to be held at the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, California during the weekends of April 15-17 and April 22-24.
Other artists scheduled to perform include Daniel Caeser, Phoebe Bridgers, Big Sean, Lil Baby, Grupo Firme, Louis the Child, Baby Keem, Flume, Megan Thee Stallion, Disclosure, 21 Savage, Danny Elfman, Stromae, Giveon, Anitta, Brockhampton, Doja Cat, Joji, Jamie xx, Run the Jewels, Karol G, Maggie Rogers, Ari Lennox, Banda MS, and Swedish House Mafia.
Absent from the 2022 lineup are a pair of artists that were previously announced as headliners when the 2020 Coachella was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic: Travis Scott and Rage Against the Machine, both of whom had their headlining sets bumped to the also-postponed 2021 fest.
In October, Coachella announced its intention to reverse course on Covid-19 vaccination policies, stating that it will no longer require full vaccination in order to attend their respective 2022 events. Festivalgoers may now present either a negative Covid-19 test taken within 72 hours of entry or provide vaccination proof. The change contradicted the initial full vaccination policy mandate from AEG, owners of Coachella promoter Goldenvoice.
