It's a historic moment for Grande, who, Glamour points out, becomes only the fourth female performer to ever headline the festival (after Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Björk). And it makes sense: Her most recent album, Sweetener, reached No. 1, and she's got another album titled Thank U, Next ready to go at seemingly any moment. It doesn't seem farfetched to suspect it'll be out come April.
Grande wrote that she was "humbled and excited as all hell" on social media.
Childish Gambino, too, had quite the year in 2018, and it's hard to believe that this year's Coachella will mark nearly a year since his Grammy-nominated (and by April, potentially Grammy-winning) "This Is America" dropped.
Meanwhile, Tame Impala's Kevin Parker — who's spent the years since their 2015 album Currents collaborating with Rihanna, Travis Scott, and Kanye West — teased "new sounds" for the group on social media.
