The R&B visionary was originally set to headline the 2020 event with Rage Against the Machine and Travis Scott until concerns over the coronavirus pandemic forced their plans to come to a halt.
In an interview with the LA Times, Coachella co-founder Paul Tollett said Ocean was lined up for a 2022 comeback. Due to scheduling conflicts, however, he’ll headline the following year. “Right now, it’s the Wild West.
I’m just trying to be as fair as I can to artists and to the fans to make sure that eventually they get to see everyone that we talked about,” said Tollett.
In the same interview, Tollett confirmed that Rage Against the Machine and Scott will return to headline in 2022, as well as rappers Megan Thee Stallion and Doja Cat.
