Will Coachella 2024 Add New Artists?

Coachella 2024 announced the festival lineup last month, with Lana Del Rey, Tyler The Creator, Doja Cat, and No Doubt set to headline in April. However, according to NME, the California festival has had trouble selling out tickets, which hasn’t been the case in previous years. This has been the festival’s slowest sales in nearly a decade, to be specific.

Because of this, there have been questions if Coachella will adjust the lineup at all to sell more tickets.

Here’s what to know if any new artists will join the Coachella lineup.

Will Coachella 2024 Add New Artists?

Currently, Coachella has not added any new performers to their lineup for 2024. That doesn’t mean that they won’t though. During the early years of the festival, as one example, they added the late Prince to the 2008 lineup — as they wanted to boost the view and perception. According to Reddit, that year’s lineup hadn’t been deemed as good, which explained the addition.

As some of the other commenters had noted though, it is very unlikely in 2024 — unless they did a surprise addition. One user pointed out that putting a larger artist into the lineup could break commitments to the other headliners.

So, right now, it is still up in the air.

Juvenile Is The Latest Artist To Dispute The Lovers & Friends 2024 Lineup, And His Rant Is Glorious

It would appear Lovers & Friends Festival was a little hasty about announcing its 2024 lineup last week. Usher, Janet Jackson, and Backstreet Boys were unveiled as the headliners, but two other prominent artists have since disputed their names being listed on the lineup poster.

Last Thursday, January 25, Mary J. Blige wrote on her Instagram Story that her “inclusion was an error as I will be busy in preparation for my Strength of a Woman Summit just one week later.” On Wednesday, January 31, Juvenile posted an Instagram Reel — and he was, um, much less cordial than Mary J.

“Here we go again, man,” he said. “These cats at Lovers & Friends — whoever in charge of Lovers & Friends, man, y’all doing bad business, man. Y’all done put my name on the flyer, and y’all know you ain’t sent me no deposit, ain’t sent me no bread or nothin’.”

The Cash Money Records rapper continued, “Keep on playing games — talking ’bout y’all gonna get back at me. Look, y’all playing games with the wrong mothaf*cka, man. If y’all gon’ book me, if y’all not gon’ book me, take my mothaf*ckin’ name off y’all flyer. I ain’t got no problem with that. I could do something else with my time. I ain’t trippin’, but don’t put my f*ckin’ name on y’all flyers if y’all know you ain’t paid me no money. That’s f*cked up.”

There’s not really a smooth way to transition out of that, but for those still interested in attending Lovers & Friends 2024 to see whichever artists will perform, the festival is scheduled for Saturday, May 4, at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. Find more information here.

Boise’s Treefort Music Festival has unveiled the third and final wave of artists that are joining their lineup. Alongside the fest’s headliners Channel Tres, Briston Maroney, Neko Case, and more, several new global performers have been added to the stacked list.

In the final lineup reveal, Treefort’s picks span a range of genres. There’s the Grammy-nominated Cimafunk, the LA-based folk-pop performer Kate Bollinger, an “an eight-piece psychedelic cumbia band” called Los Chapillacs, the Aussie pop group Blusher, and many more, according to a press release.

There will also be a comedy section running at the fest, with Janeane Garofalo being among the one-night-only headliners.

Given that the festival will run from March 20 to 24, it allows attendees more than enough time to catch all of their favorite acts. Tickets are currently on sale, with prices expected to raise on March 1. Right now, a five-day General Admission ticket is $295.

Treefort also offers options ZIPLINE (front-of-line access) and U21 (under 21) pass options for different prices. And, if you only want to go one day, those tickets are available, too.

Chicago’s Sueños Festival is set to take place over Memorial Day Weekend (May 25 and 26) in Grant Park, with Peso Pluma, Rauw Alejandro, Maluma, and Ivan Cornejo headlining the popular event. Other acts on the 2024 lineup include Young Miko, Xavi, Latin Mafia, Gabito Ballesteros, Jowell y Randy, Bizarrap, Bad Gyal, and many more.

As fans gear up to head to Grant Park to watch their favorite performers, some who don’t have tickets yet might wonder how they can still attend.

Here’s what to know about the current ticket availability for Sueños Festival.

Is Sueños Festival 2024 Sold Out?

Right now, yes, this year’s Sueños Festival is currently sold out. Those who are still hoping to go can try joining the waitlist through the festival’s official website. This includes a separate waitlist depending on the tier of ticket you might want, as four levels are being offered.

Fans could also try their luck at finding a resale pass through other methods, but it might be risky in terms of scams or higher prices.

Still, given that the festival has only been running for a few years, the fact that they sold out of all their passes and types speaks to just how great the 2024 iteration should be.
