CULTURE HYPE: COACHELLA 2020 LINEUP HAS DROPPED

Get out your flower crowns and place an order for the eco-glitter - the Coachella lineup has been announced. I know, we too had just started to feel okay about deciding that the festival in the California desert maybe wasn't for us (after all, we have Glastonbury). But wait, what’s this: Our beloved Frank Ocean to headline? Rage Against the Machine to channel our inner teen emo? 

This year, with a headline gig also from Travis Scott and other appearances from Run the Jewels, Calvin Harris and Rex Orange County, just might be the one we lose our Coachella virginity and splash our summer funds a little prematurely. For those on the fence, the 2020 lineup promises that there really is something for everyone - scroll here for evidence.

FOR THE MOSHERS

According to Collins Dictionary, the actual definition of moshing is “to engage in a form of dancing to heavy metal music in which dancers freely bump into each other as they jump up and down in an area (mosh pit) usually just in front of the bandstand.” If there was ever a band to conjure up such a spectacle, it’s Rage Against the Machine. Also, any opportunity to sing Killing in the Name and Know Your Enemy in a crowd is really quite something.

FOR THE DIE HARD FESTI-FEMALE

The one that’s dressed head-to-toe in amazing vintage garments, has a nose ring and has been going to Glastonbury since 1970 (despite being born in 1994). We all know someone like this. Well, this year the Coachella lineup dishes all kinds of delicious indie-pyschedelic-folk-electronic treats for her. Said girl's heroines, Lana Del Ray and FKA twigs have confirmed their Sunday slot, and on Friday and Saturday Thom Yorke, Friendly Fires and Weyes Blood are set to play.

"we’re a little disappointed there ARE no females gracing the stage for the top spot."
