Kendrick Lamar is no stranger to headlining major events. He’s fresh off of his widely viewed performance during the Super Bowl Halftime Show. However, there is one key stage he hasn’t tackled as the star attraction. That would be none other than Indio, California’s Coachella.
The Compton native has been at the renowned outdoor festival a couple of times in his career, though. He appeared there in 2012 right around the time he was becoming a household name. That of course would be the year he put out good kid, m.A.A.d city.
He wouldn’t return until 2017, but he was moments removed from dropping his most commercially successful LP in DAMN. It sold over 600,000 copies for context. So, maybe because of the major things he’s accomplished over the last several months, including his win over Drake, maybe he’ll feel compelled to return to Coachella Valley.
There’s already rumors that he will be joining the cast of headliners per HITS Daily Double and Kurrco. Pop superstars Sabrina Carpenter and Dua Lipa, as well as reggaeton icon Karol G, are also gaining serious traction.
Per Soap Central and HDD, there was some chatter at the MTV VMAs this past weekend between their agents, as well as some for the Oasis Rose Bowl.
