Some of the performers who are part of this year’s Coachella lineup are Harry Styles, Lil Baby, Phoebe Bridgers, Baby Keem, Big Sean, Black Coffee, Carly Rae Jepsen, Cordae, Princess Nokia, Bishop Briggs, City Girls.
Last two years, Coachella stood cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. While it is taking place in 2022, there are guidelines in place to keep attendees safe. This year also spells a welcome change for Latin music to take the center stage since Coachella 2022 sees double the Latin acts, as compared to 2020.
