COACHELLA just announced its 2020 music lineup, and fans are fuming over the festival’s decision to not include any female headliners.
Lana Del Rey lovers are especially upset that she’s been given second billing instead of first at the event.
After a decade without any female artists leading the show, Coachella switched it up the last three years with performances from Lady Gaga, Beyoncé and Ariana Grande.
For 2020, they’ve “regressed” and gone back to an all-male headlining lineup of Rage Against the Machine, Travis Scott and Frank Ocean, leading to people slamming the festival on Twitter.
One user wrote: “No female headliners at Coachella 2020??! …Why do people still support this organization?”
A second stated: “Guess it would kill them2 have even one female headliner.”
A third said: “I’m really sad that Lana did not get top billing, or no woman for that matter.
“Coachella was doing great with female acts, but unfortunately has regressed.”
Many are finding it upsetting that Coachella had an easy option for a female headliner with Lana but chose to put her lower on the list instead.
One fan tweeted: “Lana Del Rey’s name being JUST below this year’s Coachella headliner after releasing what’s arguably her strongest album to date is…something else.”
Another wrote: “Why did coachella choose frank ocean who hasnt dropped an album since 2016 over lana who dropped one 5 months ago.”
The user added that her album: “is 1)critically acclaimed 2)arguably her strongest album to date 3)up for AOTY at the grammies.”
Lana is up for both Song of the Year and Album of the Year at the Grammys for her same-titled track and record, Norman F***ing Rockwell.
She released this sixth studio album of hers in 2019, while Frank, the headliner during her weekend of Coachella, hasn’t released an album since his second one in 2016.
Furious fans are claiming Lana is the “bigger act” over him and are questioning, “How is Lana Del Rey not a Coachella headliner at this point?”
The slams only continued, with someone else writing: “Lana Del Rey has an INDISPUTABLY more accomplished discography than Travis Scott & Frank Ocean.
“And one could even argue more than Rage Against the Machine!! EXPLAIN TO ME HOW AND WHY SHE IS NOT A HEADLINER.”
A fan wondered: “Maybe if she was a male rapper who had a relationship with Kardashians she would make it!”
One superfan simply stated out: “6 time Grammy nominee and billboard trailblazer Lana del Rey. The legend and icon Lana del Rey.
“The woman behind the metacritic highest rated album and best female album on metacritic is playing coachella and isn’t headlining?
“Make it make sense. #coachella #lana2020.”
Coachella takes place in Indio, California over the weekends of April 10-12 and April 17-19.
