The Coachella Festival can once again come up with big names this year. Puerto Rican Bad Bunny is included.
Pop star Bad Bunny (“Un Verano Sin Ti”) is headlining this year’s Coachella festival in the US state of California. The 28-year-old is leading the line-up along with K-pop band Blackpink and R&B singer Frank Ocean, organizers announced. According to the US industry magazine “Billboard”, the musician from Puerto Rico is the first Spanish-speaking artist to have a headliner slot at the festival.
The organizers announced other acts including Gorillaz, Rosalía, Björk and Calvin Harris. General advance sales are scheduled to begin this Friday.
The concerts take place over two consecutive weekends near the desert city of Indio. The line-up is identical on both dates. The first Coachella weekend this year is from April 14th to 16th, the second from April 21st to 23rd.
