The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is back in 2022 after two years of postponements and cancellations due to the pandemic. And the lineup is worth all the wait. Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) and Swedish House Mafia are the headliners. The Festival is held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, in the Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert. It was co-founded by Paul Tollett and Rick Van Santen in 1999, and is organized by Goldenvoice, a subsidiary of AEG Presents.

This year, Weekend One: April 15 – 17, 2022 and Weekend Two: April 22 – 24, 2022. Headliners: Harry Styles, Billie Eilish and Ye (Kanye West).

Eilish took to Instagram to share the 2022 lineup. Styles will headline the festival for the first time on April 15 and 22. But before he takes the stage, people can expect performances by Phoebe Bridgers, Big Sean, Carly Rae Jepsen, slowt

Last year’s interaction — with headliners Rage Against the Machine, Travis Scott and Frank Ocean — was postponed several times. Billboard confirmed that Scott and Rage Against the Machine will not be a part of the festival this year while Ocean is expected to perform in 2023. 

The festival will span across two weekends: April 15 to 17 and April 22 to 24. Eilish took to Instagram to share the 2022 lineup.
