Coachella finally unveils 2024 lineup after an unusual delay as Lana Del Rey, Tyler, The Creator & Doja Cat make their headlining debuts

So much for Coachella sticking to the script.

The famed California music festival organized by Goldenvoice has targeted the second week of January to release its lineup each year, but when the news didn’t come last week on Tuesday or Wednesday, we knew something was amiss.

It’s not exactly clear what the holdup was, but this is the first time we are more than halfway through the first month of the year and just finding out who will be playing in the desert this April. And though it would have been fitting for Paul Tollett and his team to land Taylor Swift after the kind of 2023 the pop star had — that could have been at least one possibility for the delay — as “The Eras Tour” rolls on through most of this year, it won’t be in the cards for the three-day event’s 23rd edition.

Instead, Lana Del Rey, Tyler, The Creator and Doja Cat will make their headlining debuts at Coachella, which expanded to two weekends in 2012, following a chaotic 2023 that saw Bad Bunny, BLACKPINK and Frank Ocean listed atop the bill before Ocean had a disastrous performance to close Weekend 1, canceled his Weekend 2 set and was replaced by surprise Weekend 1 guest blink-182.

But after the top line, there are some highlights spread across the 2024 roster from Friday to Sunday. Here’s who stands out to us: Peso Pluma, Blur, J Balvin, Lil Uzi Vert, Ice Spice, Jhené Aiko, Justice, Gesaffelstein, Khruangbin, Sublime, Deftones, Jungle, Peggy Gou, Grimes, Jon Batiste, Gorgon City, Skream & Banga, Orbital, L’Impératrice, Brittany Howard, Young Fathers, Hermanos Gutiérrez, NEIL FRANCES and The Blessed Madonna. Peep the poster above to see who else has been booked to perform at the Empire Polo Club.

And much like the previous two years in Indio with Swedish House Mafia and Calvin Harris, there will be a fourth act worthy of headliner status as third-wave ska band No Doubt get ready to reunite for the first time since 2015 — and you can be sure plenty of folks will be excited to find out when and where on the polo fields Gwen Stefani and company will take the stage (more on that in April once the set times have arrived in our inboxes and news feeds).

So, who’s ready to go? Goldenvoice recommends that fans try purchasing tickets for Weekend 2 if you are interested in attending Coachella this year, but you can always jump on the wait list for Weekend 1 here after three-day GA and VIP passes go on sale here during a presale this Friday, January 19th that starts at 11 a.m. PT. Official hotel packages are also available here through Valley Music Travel.

Best of luck, Coachellans!
