The road to Coachella 2025 has hit a major bump as two of music’s biggest stars, Kendrick Lamar and Rihanna, have reportedly declined offers to headline the iconic festival. With both artists opting out, organizers are now scrambling to find suitable replacements for the highly anticipated event.
While Kendrick Lamar’s decision to pass on Coachella 2025 has disappointed many fans, the rapper’s future plans remain just as exciting. Reports suggest that Kendrick is gearing up for a massive stadium tour in 2025, following what is sure to be a show-stopping performance at the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show in February. However, the “Not Like Us” hitmaker has yet to publicly announce said tour.
Meanwhile, Rihanna is said to have also declined the offer to headline Coachella 2025, with the news coming as a surprise to fans, as many had hoped for her return to the stage after her electrifying Super Bowl Halftime performance earlier this year.
The news of these high-profile rejections comes on the heels of Coachella 2024, which saw Lana Del Rey, Tyler, the Creator, and Doja Cat take the stage as headliners. While this lineup drew considerable attention, there have been reports of fewer-than-expected ticket sales, raising concerns among organisers.
As Coachella 2025 approaches, all eyes will be on the festival’s next move, with fans eagerly awaiting the announcement of new headliners. With a legacy of unforgettable performances, there’s no doubt the festival will aim to live up to its reputation, but the question remains: who will take up the mantle?
