Coachella 2023 - Calvin Harris, Frank Ocean and Idris Elba confirmed to perform
Blackpink, Frank Ocean and Bad Bunny will headline the 2023 Coachella music festival, organisers have announced.
The world famous event, which takes place in the Southern Californian desert, is due to return this year over two weekends – April 14-16 and April 21-23.
British stars Calvin Harris and Luther actor Idris Elba will also make appearance at the festival that makes Glastonbury look like a school fete when it comes to celebrity spotting next year.
Puerto Rican pop star Bad Bunny is set to headline both Fridays, with South Korean girl group Blackpink on the Saturdays and US singer-songwriter Frank Ocean taking the Sunday slots.
Ocean was previously due to headline the festival in 2020, but the event was rescheduled multiple times and then cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
