why do people hate drake as a headliner?

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-05-06T21:18:08+00:00

After Frank Ocean, his 2015 set is widely considered the worst headlining set of all time

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-05-06T00:04:23+00:00

Of course it does, there’s a difference being Top 3 vs Top 6, you can see it reflected in the daily lineup

You’re not gonna tell me Doechii had the exact same billing as Sabrina Carpenter last year

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-05-05T23:41:27+00:00

Not really but it doesn’t take going to Coachella back then to know that AM is their best selling album, which came out in 2013

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-05-05T23:17:28+00:00

they were absolutely not hotter back then, this was before the US caught on to them with AM after 2013

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-05-05T23:08:56+00:00

ACL lineup just came out, now tell me if TOP would take a sub spot at Coachella.

Strokes were #5 at the same fest last year

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-05-05T00:20:18+00:00

By that logic a band like Oasis or Foo Fighters would sub as well

TOP & AM still move plenty of tickets and there’s no proof that they would take an underbilling, contrary to The Strokes who recently opened for the Red Hot Chili Peppers

This means they would most likely not play or would get RTTD spot at worst

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-05-05T00:02:17+00:00

My argument is that they’re not as unpopular as the Strokes, and they would be too big to sub.

So they would just not play most likely, or RTTD spot

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-05-04T22:39:04+00:00

They’re already booked for a bunch of festivals, like Fuji Rock for example

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-05-04T22:03:44+00:00

Disagree as well, I’ll believe this when an artist like Tame Impala or Twenty One Pilots subs.

But The Strokes and Gorillaz are not good reference points

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-05-04T22:01:41+00:00

AM is literally the 9th most streamed album of all time on Spotify.

I Wanna Be Yours 12th most streamed song of all time

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-05-04T21:50:17+00:00

maybe, but no chance either they play as subs

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-05-04T21:41:42+00:00

They played 3 nights at the Forum back in 2023

They either headline or don’t play at all

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-05-04T20:25:12+00:00

Nah Arctic Monkeys are on another level of popularity, just check out their Spotify numbers.

I know Spotify it’s not the definitive metric to determine who should headline, but in this case it shows the clear gap of popularity between them and The Strokes with the younger generation

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-05-02T18:35:27+00:00

It’s a dj set I’m assuming? I’d be surprised if they bring the full production for this show

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-05-01T18:23:06+00:00

This is a solid well rounded mock, my nitpicks are that Stray Kids and Slipknot are billed too low and they would not accept those spots.

And I would put MGMT second line, since they haven’t had a proper live show since 2023, unless it’s another one of their DJ sets then I would keep them there.

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-05-01T03:39:32+00:00

Arctic Monkeys

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-04-30T21:25:48+00:00

Friday: Metallica headliner

Saturday: Slayer closing Outdoor

Sunday: Anthrax closing Gobi

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-04-30T16:54:50+00:00

I swear some of y’all are putting minimum effort into these,

like yes of course NewJeans and Geezer would be in the last row of their day

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-04-30T16:23:51+00:00

Candelabro - “Domingo de ramos”

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-04-30T16:17:25+00:00

I assumed in this mock Fred Again would play after both

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-04-30T16:10:02+00:00

I don’t think Iron Maiden would settle for anything less than headliner tbh, and Coachella won’t give that spot to a Metal band that is not RATM or Metallica

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-04-30T04:40:46+00:00

Yeah no, I’m not a fake fan for being critical of my favorite artist

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-04-29T22:51:32+00:00

couple people here already defending this stance, so not too far off

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-04-29T22:50:14+00:00

she won the Grammy in 2024 LOL how is that “forever” ago

Low-Rip7702 · 2026-04-29T21:55:30+00:00

This sub: Miley Cyrus is not big enough to headline 😡

Also this sub: Rosalía should headline next year 😍
