Bad Bunny & Frank Ocean Named As Two Of The Headliners For Coachella 2023

Musicians Bad Bunny and Frank Ocean have been named as two of the headlining performers for the 2023 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

On Tuesday (January 10), Coachella released this year’s highly-anticipated lineup which features the complete list of artists performing at the iconic, annual music festival in Indio, California.

Amongst those artists is 28-year-old Latin artist Bad Bunny, who is set to hit the stage for day 1 of both weekends of the music festival (April 14 and 21).

Additionally, singer/rapper Frank Ocean, 35, will close out the festival as Sunday’s headliner on April 16 and 23. If you didn’t already know, Frank Ocean was originally set to headline the 2020 Coachella Festival. However, the event was reportedly canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to reports, the 2023 Coachella Festival will run for two weekends in a row (April 14-16 and 21-23) with the same lineup of musicians performing twice — meaning fans have two chances to catch Bad Bunny and Frank Ocean, among the many other stars appearing at the festival.

Reportedly, Frank Ocean hasn’t released a new album since his 2016 project Blonde. However, he has remained busy with his luxury jewelry line. He began his musical career as a ghostwriter, prior to joining the hip-hop collective Odd Future in 2010. To date, the artist has many accolades under his belt, including two Grammy Awards.

As far as Bunny, the Puerto Rican rapper/singer reportedly closed out 2022 with a new collaboration with rapper Ñengo Flow on the track “Gato de Noche.” Bunny’s musical style is defined as Latin trap and reggaeton. He rose to prominence in 2016 with his song “Diles,” which led to a deal with Hear This Music.

As you may already know, last week, Bunny received online backlash after tossing a fan’s phone. As previously reported, Bunny was spotted in the Dominican Republic, walking with what appeared to be his entourage, when a female fan approached him excited to get their encounter on video. After the unnamed fan shoved their phone in Bunny’s face, the “La Santa” artist grabbed the person’s phone and tossed it in the opposite direction, seemingly into a body of water, leaving the fan in shock.
