[Dad Dog]

I'm here to get scoopz and talk shit on Coachella without ever being there, and it looks like we're all out of scoopz...

I really don’t get why people love to hate on this fest in here. If the Coachella lineup or headliners are “down” or “not good” then it pretty much always means bad stuff for the rest of the festival season. We should be rooting for very strong Coachella’s and the rest of the festival season to ride that wave. And this is coming from someone who has never been to Coachella

Same reason why people love to hate on the Yankees, Patriots and Trump. The best in the game always take all the potshots.

Just replace Trump with the Warriors and the reference is fine. Also, JT is a bit risky of a pick to headline, he'll already have been through the area 4 times in the previous year and his latest LP produced zero hits. Wasn't it less than  6 months ago on here that everyone was ripping how cheesy he has become? 

Gambino  would be a killer headliner though,  hopefully the album delivers.

Don't let any of this distract you from the fact that Maddog took Warren Zevon for me and he'd already been taken.

Nobody takes my Zevon!

Good god that "SoulMate" song is bad. It's like a bad Drake song, and I say that with no due respect to Drake.

Let's get a 90 minute Grace Jones, D'Angelo, or Aphex set opposite to JT, please.

Bonnaroo 2016-esque lineup incoming.

I was going to call this the most offensive comment of the thread until TickleMeElmo gave us a Trump shoutout.

Good ear, it's produced by Nineteen85, who also has done a lot of work with Drake.

Coachella sucks this year

[generaltso]

If JT is confirmed confirmed that's a huge miss after (1) MOTW and (2) you have a chance to bring back Drake, no matter how bad his 2015 set was (disclosure: I enjoyed his set at GovBall 2015.) Just watch clips of his surprise Wireless headlining set; he should be a no-brainer. The dud that is High As Hope should really cool the talk of Florence in a headliner capacity though she'd probbbly take nothing less. Also, Rihanna is working on new music. She's perfect for this

2019 should look like Rihanna • Drake • Gambino

[piggy pablo]

Lol yeah not happening.

[lastnameicecream]

Yes to Rihanna. No to drake. Not even if there’s a fire.

[Deleted]

Drake in any capacity is my updated worst case scenario*

[lastnameicecream]

Drake hasn’t put out a solid album since 2015 so let’s just stop that right in its tracks. Guy stopped trying because of streaming era tactics and it’s painfully obvious. 67 songs in 3 years and not even a third are listenable outside of the albums’ month long release hype window.

Okay but what's your point? The Weeknd flopped with Starboy. Eminem hasn't put out a good album since 2002. Calvin Harris. Artpop was a step down from Born This Way for Gaga. They've shown critical acclaim has almost nothing to do with a headlining spot

[piggy pablo]

TIL Starboy was a flop.

You just talked down two artists for having dud albums but then talked up Drake...

[generaltso]

Okay because they are duds, and yeah I'm talking up Drake as a much better alternative to JT. For 2019 they'd be stupid to choose JT if Drake can be had

The slightest possibility of even having an *NSYNC reunion spot during a JT set is a better choice than Drake every time. This isn’t about selling tickets. This is about media attention. Drake’s redemption set will have to wait.

[TickleMeElmo]

The idea that a festival booking Justin Timberlake is a huge miss is straight up laughable.

[generaltso]

The fact that in 2018 people actually think JT is a better choice than Drake is laughable. You wanna claim media attention over ticket sales? Everything the fucking guy does gets covered. And yes, booking JT over Drake is a huge miss. There's no debate who the bigger draw is

[lastnameicecream]

I’m dying.

[Fozzie Bear]

Every festival should just book Drake next year, I guess.

They are booking him at what is unquestionably the lowest point of his entire career.

[piggy pablo]

I posted the video of Supplies in the 2018 Music thread and I essentially got accused of trolling and a mod deleted my post LOL

And yes, that video is the most offensively bad thing I've seen in years. So fair enough.

Tbh I think that was a joke but I could be wrong
