Needless to say, if Drake is announced as a headliner, ticket sales are going to be on 🔥. What do you think the odds are at this point?

I'm hearing the same rumor. Would be epic.
Siamese_Sam October 6, 2026
Coachella seems hellbent on getting a huge name, so with BTS out, I'm guessing they go hard after Drake or Radiohead. Radiohead starts their Asian tour in early May, so maybe they use Coachella as the kick-off?
BTS_ARMY1 October 6, 2026
Can't believe BTS is out. Hopefully just a snag in the negotiations.
JGantic October 9, 2026
Drake seems to be a divisive headliner pick for some reason. Any idea why some people are so adamantly opposed?
OliviaDee October 13, 2026
I don't think people dislike him necessarily. He's just so overexposed.
amber_record October 24, 2026
exactly, headline fatigue is real
glass_melody October 24, 2026
I’d be into it if the set leans properly career-spanning rather than just chasing the newest songs. The odds feel real enough to keep an eye on, but it’s still very much rumor territory.
lunarsnare October 24, 2026
epic if it happens, but i need the set to go deep. not just the obvious hits and a giant screen for two hours lol
glassvinyl October 24, 2026
I’d still want a real chunk of the newer material, though—otherwise what is the point of booking him now? A career-spanning set with the newer songs given room to breathe would be the right balance. But yeah, until it’s official I’m not treating it as more than a plausible rumor.
lostcore October 24, 2026
Exactly. Give the newer songs room.
papersignal October 25, 2026
I’d call it plausible, but I’m holding off until the lineup drops; a Drake set with proper older-album cuts would be the real selling point for me.
fadedkid October 25, 2026
Plausible, but Drake alone wouldn’t rescue a weak undercard. If it happens, I’d want a proper older-material-heavy set, not two hours of whatever just came out.
coldbridge85 October 25, 2026
Better than a random rumor, but I refuse to let “being considered” become a lineup announcement in my brain.
goldencoyote October 27, 2026
would be brutal if it really is just negotiations. i’m not treating anyone as in or out until the poster exists though—rumor season eats certainty for breakfast.
DemoClub81 October 27, 2026
I need the newer stuff in there too tbh—career-spanning doesn’t have to mean nostalgia-only. Give the huge older cuts AND a real chunk of ICEMAN/HABIBTI and that set could be ridiculous. Still rumor mode until the poster drops lol.
RetroTapes October 27, 2026
Odds feel decent, but “in conversations” is basically the festival equivalent of a smoke machine. Bring back the chaotic guest-appearance energy from 2015 and I’ll stop pretending I’m above it 😭
moonghost73 October 27, 2026
Partly overexposure, partly the feeling that he’s more of a very expensive playlist than a must-see festival set. The older cuts could change that fast, though.
amber_record October 27, 2026
ngl i’d take radiohead over drake every time, but drake would absolutely move tickets if the rest of the lineup isn’t asleep.
ghostclub October 27, 2026
i’d rather hear the newer material than a greatest-hits autopilot set, but the rumor is still doing a lot of work here.
honey_lantern October 27, 2026
new material needs a real chance.
DizzyDrizzy October 27, 2026
Wasn't the line-up supposed to be released a few weeks ago? Wonder what's causing the delay. Big act on the hook that still hasn't committed?
foxplaylist October 28, 2026
not letting a rumor wreck my sleep schedule again 😭 but a drake headline would make the lineup drop very loud
bsidechorus98 October 28, 2026
if it’s real, the guest appearance speculation alone is gonna be absolutely unbearable lol
pale_lights October 29, 2026
ICEMAN cuts would sweeten it.
coldbridge85 October 29, 2026
Radiohead kick-off would be cruelly perfect.
hollowsounds October 29, 2026
odds feel decent, but the lineup rollout being held hostage by one headline negotiation would be extremely coachella lol
lostwave October 29, 2026
Would be huge, but I’m keeping expectations low until it’s actually on the lineup.
orbitdiner October 29, 2026
I’d put the odds at 50/50 until the actual lineup lands, but ticket sales would absolutely go wild if it happens. I just want a set that digs well beyond the newest albums—give the album fans something to lose it over.
glass_moon October 29, 2026
I’m not calling it until there’s an actual poster, but Drake would turn every possible guest rumor into a full-time job for this community lol. Could be a massive live set if he goes deep enough.
midnighttapes October 29, 2026
radiohead would be unreal ngl
amber_record October 31, 2026
not sold unless the undercard delivers
pale_lights October 31, 2026
until the poster’s out it’s smoke, but i’d be very into a set that makes room for the HABIBTI stuff.
hookcrowd86 October 31, 2026
iceman over habibti imo
ambercassette October 31, 2026
That’s exactly it, tbh.
heavy_kick62 October 31, 2026
i’m at like 40% until there’s a poster. Drake would move tickets easily, but the real test is whether he gives the set room to breathe instead of speedrunning three albums and calling it a night.
groovemoon24 October 31, 2026
ICEMAN’s the one i’d want most
arcadewave November 1, 2026
I’d take it, but only if the rest of the top line isn’t playing it safe too.
honey_lantern November 1, 2026
if it happens, i’d rather the two weekends get genuinely different sets than just a couple of swapped songs. there’s enough catalog there to make each one feel like its own night.
orbitdemo99 November 1, 2026
I’m filing it under “believe it when the poster drops,” but if it happens, please let the set lean into the older stuff too. Give us a huge, properly paced headline set—not a 40-song sprint 😭
earlybasement11 November 2, 2026
Radiohead as the kick-off would be the dream, but i’m still not believing either name until the poster is out.
kicklover November 2, 2026
Radiohead over Drake, easily.
motel99 November 2, 2026
Poster or it’s fan fiction.
rooftopfox03 November 3, 2026
50/50 feels generous, but HABIBTI (FOMO) in a headline set could go crazy if this actually happens.
goldenghost November 3, 2026
“In conversations” is doing a lot of work here. He’d move tickets, obviously, but I’m keeping this in the smoke-machine folder until the poster exists.
arcade_tape November 4, 2026
Older hits, huge production, I’m in.
ravenlights November 4, 2026
Huge if real. Poster first.
Moon November 4, 2026
really hoping it’s just a snag
