Coachella Eyeing Red Hot Chili Peppers + Weeknd To Replace Ye!

It appears that Coachella is going to get a whole lot better since organizers are hard at work figuring out who will take Kanye’s headlining Sunday spot at the festival…

CelebnMusic247.com reports that Coachella is eyeing 2 acts who are at the top of the list to take over Red Hot Chili Peppers + The Weeknd.

Originally the organizers were hot for Silk Sonic, the dynamic duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, but they are out. The pair make a lot of sense, coming off a clean sweep at The Grammys, including Record of the Year for “Leave the Door Open.”

But who is in play is The Weeknd, who is coming off an insane year on the charts — a new album and an upcoming stadium tour. Luckily there’s still a chance he takes the stage in some capacity.

Our sources say organizers were testing the waters to see if The Weeknd would perform a few songs along with Swedish House Mafia. They were also interested in The Weeknd as a stand-alone act. Our sources say no decision has been made.

Finally, our sources say The Red Hot Chili Peppers are a name that’s being seriously considered. The group is set to hit the road this summer — and recently played a low-key show in L.A. — so they’re ready to go. What’s more, our sources say RHCP makes a lot of sense, because currently there’s no major rock ‘n roll act on the lineup. The band just got their name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

It would help to make Coachella a stand out year since the 2022 lineup is a bit lackluster.

However, sources have stressed — there are others who are being considered, but the ones we just mentioned are at the top of the list.

CelebnMusic247.com reported that Kanye has dropped out as Sunday’s headliner just a couple weeks before the festival is set to kick off.

The first of two weekends kicks off April 15. Billie Eilish, Harry Styles and Swedish House Mafia are all locked in as other headliners.
