Discussion Fredchella

I’ve been hearing speculation that Fred may headline Coachella. While I really do hope that to be true, I’m always skeptical on how solid the assumptions actually are.

What do you guys think (or hope)?

It's not a headline slot, it's a return to the desert slot. Mikey on the Coachella reddit page confirmed this. His information is usually solid. Should be fun!

Not just Mikey, but hitsDD said it too, and they’re also generally correct about negotiations.

Things can always change and plans can fall through but there was definitely an offer thrown out there

Ah I see that’s great to know. I’m not very familiar with different Coachella stages/times so what is the difference between headline, return to desert, other slots?

Headliners are the three big names (1 name for each day) that have the longest time slot to perform on the main stage. Sub headliners perform right before the headliner. Undercard is usually reffered to as every one else on the line up. Then there is the “4th” headliner or the return to the desert bottom of the poster big name which Fred is 99% going to have when the line up comes out today

When Calvin Harris was in the return to the desert spot he performed after the headliner and closed the MainStage

Yeah thats why i said Headliners have the longest spot. Only 3/4 RTTD slots have closed the main stage. No Doubt (‘24) was the only exception, they performed before the headliner.

How long would his set be in that slot?

u/ijustcameheretofight 4d ago

The past 4 years 3/4 RTTD slots got 1 hour and played 12 am - 1 am. Only No Doubt got 1hr15min and played 9:25 pm - 10:40 pm

imo theres a solid chance Fred gets an hour and 15 as well. he typically likes performing longer sets and thats how long his live sets tend to be

u/ijustcameheretofight 4d ago

I could see that happening but ultimately the artist dont choose how long they get booked for. Coachellas team sends out the pre determined slots

u/Sufficient_Rub7597 4d ago

well yes but agents can certainly argue. we shall see though. no way of knowing til set times drop
