The Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival is fast approaching and many fans can't wait to find out who would be performing at one of the biggest music events this year; check out below the predicted headliners that are most likely to play a set.
According to Billboard, the world-renowned festival, which always takes place in Indio, California, usually releases their lineup around early-to-mid January, meaning fans are getting close to figuring out the official performers of the event.
Last year, Coachella returned after canceling their 2020 and 2021 shows due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They went all out as they featured some of the biggest artists in the industry today like Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, The Weeknd, and Swedish House Mafia.
For this year, the outlet released their predictions on who would be performing.
Although Taylor Swift and Paramore are getting bigger over the past few months because of their music and fans wanted to see them take the stage at Coachella, it's unlikely for them to be included in this year's lineup due to their respective tours which conflict with the festival dates.

However, there is hope for other musicians, especially Rihanna. The outlet noted that there's a strong possibility for the "What's My Name" hitmaker to perform as she recently released new music.
In addition, Rihanna, who gave birth to her first baby with A$AP Rocky last year, would also be taking the stage of the Super Bowl LVII halftime show and rumors about her new album is swirling around social media.

Another artist that is most likely to headline the festival this year is Dua Lipa as she has a lot of free time on her career at the moment after touring around the world with songs from her hit album "Future Nostalgia."
As of this writing, Lipa has not teased fans about a new album coming out soon, but she collaborated with Megan Thee Stallion and Calvin Harris last year.
On the other hand, Frank Ocean was initially a part of the Coachella 2020 headlining acts, but the festival was canceled. He previously performed at the event in 2012, but it was just on a side stage.
Since he became bigger and bigger through the years, many are expecting him to perform on the main stage with thousands of fans watching him.
Other singers on the list include Bad Bunny, Olivia Rodrigo, Drake, SZA, BLACKPINK, Blink-182, and Kate Bush.
As of this writing, none of the artists mentioned above has confirmed their appearance. This year's Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival would kick off on April 14, 2023.
