Ariana Grande Headlining Coachella By: Seleena Davis In January of 2019, Coachella announced its lineup for this year’s festival. It showed that Ariana Grande will be headlining the festival. Ariana, at just 25-years-old, will be the youngest person to headline Coachella, a music festival that takes place in Indio, California. The festival takes place over two weekends, April 12-14 and April 19-21, and is held annually. Ariana is the fourth female singer to headline the festival behind Beyoncé, Lady Gaga ​ and Björk. She will be headlining with Childish Gambino and Tame Impala. Originally, it was supposed to be Kanye West headlining, but after the singer and Coachella had some disagreements over the stage size, “West made it clear he wouldn't perform on a traditional 60x40 foot stage because it was 'artistically limiting,’” TMZ reported, Coachella reached out to Ariana and she replaced him. Fans are very proud of Ariana’s success, including a local fan, Rachael Kuret. “I think being able to headline for Coachella at that age is reaching a whole new level. I would consider her to be ranked next to Lady Gaga and Beyoncé,” Rachael says. Rachael is also excited for Ariana’s upcoming tour, “It’s exciting! It’s gonna be so good! I think it will be one of her best tours yet because of her amazing album and also her massive success last year.” Ariana Grande will be kicking off her Sweetener World Tour, on March 18, starting in ​ ​ Albany, NY. Fans are excited to see Ariana live, including a friend of mine, Leslie Cruz a fan from Texas. “I can’t wait to see her live, she’s an amazing vocalist,” Leslie says. Leslie will be attending Ariana’s Dallas, TX concert. For local fans who want to attend Ariana Grande’s concert she will be also stopping in Cleveland, OH on March 28.
