The Rumored 2023 Coachella Lineup Has Fans Buzzing About Travis Scott's Potential Comeback

Publish date: 2024-04-21

Get ready Coachella fans, because you could be treated to a performance from Travis Scott at Coachella 2023. The rapper is the big name on everyone's lips to headline the 2023 festival alongside Frank Ocean, who was previously announced to be headlining after losing out on his scheduled slot back in 2020 because of the festival's COVID-19 cancelation. Hits Daily Double listed Scott as one of the names supposedly being considered, alongside the likes of BLACKPINK, blink-182, Drake, Dua Lipa, Justin Bieber, Olivia Rodrigo, and Super Bowl 2023 headliner Rihanna.

If Scott does take to the stage, it would mark quite the turnaround for the rapper. Variety reported that he was actually removed from the list of performers for Coachella 2022 in the wake of the tragedy that took place at his Astroworld festival in November 2021. While Scott performed, 10 people in the audience died after the crowd surged forwards. The deaths were ruled accidental, per The Guardian, while another 300 people attending the show were treated for injuries.

Naturally, the rumor of Scott's potential return sparked mixed responses. While some made it clear on Twitter they didn't want to see the rapper at Coachella after the Astroworld tragedy, others supported his possible appearance. "The way the stages are set up, [there is] simply no way a repeat of the horrible events from [Astroworld] can happen at Coachella," one person tweeted. "I would love to see Travis Scott get back on stage at Coachella!"
