Kanye West and Billie Eilish are all set to headline the 2022 Coachella festival. Speculations also tell us that the Swedish House Mafia may also feature with them.

The festival is due to take place from the mid to the end of April in 2022 in its famous location of Empire Polo Ground in Indio, Calif. Concerns regarding the Omicron surge indicate a postponement for the fifth time as the Grammy awards were also shifted to a late date.

The Coachella festival has sold out all of its tickets, as it is the greatest music festival in North America.

The 21st edition of the festival was due to happen in 2020 but it was postponed four times due to the pandemic. Although the initial headliners for this edition were Travis Scott, Frank Ocean, and Rage Against the Machine, Ocean moved his appearance to the next year in 2023, and Scott was removed for the Astroworld tragedy back in November.

The final announcement regarding the confirmation of performers is expected in a few days.

The dates for the 21st edition of the famous Coachella festival shifted from April to October in 2020, further to April in 2021, and then to October 2021 (unofficially rumored dates). Goldenvoice refrains from any types of comments regarding the postponements of the festival to the media.

The plans for the festival this time are moving fast as the concert industry began returning the last summer. Various music festivals have already taken places such as Lollapalooza and Rolling Loud. Travis Scott’s Astroworld in Houston was marred by the death of 10 people in the huge crowd due to asphyxiation and on the other hand, Drakeo The Ruler was murdered backstage, which is still a mystery.

Controversies were raised regarding the 2022 edition of the festival when it announced the dates on their Instagram page and people were more confused when it reversed from the previously implemented vaccination policy. Multiple sources are speculating that Goldenvoice has taken this step for promoting the country-themed Stagecoach festival, which is due to take place right after the Coachella festival.
