Coachella is scheduled to take place over two weekends, April 14-16 and April 21-23, with headliners Bad Bunny, Blackpink and Frank Ocean, followed by Stagecoach, led by Luke Bryan, Kane Brown and Christ Stapleton, on April 28-30.Last year, both festivals made mighty comebacks following two very long years of COVID-19 pandemic-forced cancellations.
