Ariana Grande Just Made Coachella History
Coachella just announced its 2019 festival lineup, and it’s stacked. Childish Gambino, Tame Impala, and—drum roll, please— Ariana Grande will steer the ship for the festival’s two weekends. With this, Grande becomes only the fourth female headliner in Coachella’s history—and the youngest female artist to receive top billing. (She’s joining ranks with Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Björk.)
Thankfully, several female artists will play Coachella over its two-week span. Janelle Monáe, Kacey Musgraves, Lizzo, Maggie Rogers, and the K-Pop band Blackpink all secured spots in the festival. Another exciting addition to the list is transgender DJ Sophie, who’s produced music for Madonna and Charli XCX and earned a Grammy nomination this year for her own album Oil of Every Pearl’s Un-Insides.
Check out the full lineup for yourself, below:
“Humbled and excited as all hell @coachella thank u,” Grande wrote on Instagram to celebrate securing the gig.
It’s shaping up to be a busy 2019 for Grande. The singer is reportedly releasing another album—aptly titled Thank U, Next—early in the year and will embark on her Sweetener World Tour this coming March. Her song “Thank U, Next” is still holding strong at number one on Billboard‘s Hot 100.
“I’m really looking forward to embracing whatever happens and whatever comes my way,” Grande said in December while accepting the award for Billboard magazine’s Woman of the Year. “I’m really grateful for my friends and family, I love you guys so much. I’m really grateful for music.”
Coachella will take place over the weekends of April 12 and April 19, so mark your calendars. Click here for more information.
