Rage Against The Machine To Headline Coachella 2022

Lollapalooza was the first big festival to take place this year, with many more gearing up for fall dates; however, Coachella decided to forgo a 2021 edition and set its sights on 2022. While Goldenvoice usually doesn't announce its lineup until just a few months prior to the fest, co-founder Paul Tollett divulged his plans to the Los Angeles Times, revealing that Rage Against The Machine and Travis Scott (both of whom were supposed to headline in 2020) would top the 2022 bill, with a third headliner to be announced at a later date. Frank Ocean is slated to headline in 2023.
“Right now, it’s the Wild West,” Tollett told the Times when asked why he decided to reveal the next two years' headliners so early. “I’m just trying to be as fair as I can to artists and to the fans to make sure that eventually they get to see everyone that we talked about.”
With COVID running rampant again, Tollett assured that safety is their number one priority. “We’re monitoring everything,” he said. “I don’t want to put anything in cement right now, because I just don’t know.”
Coachella will be part of Rage Against The Machine's highly anticipated reunion tour. See a full list of dates below.
