“Sabrina really said “Coachella see you back here when I headline” and was correct damn,” one user added.
“So proud of Karol! First latina headliner, well deserved!❤️❤️” another user commented.
“This is such a GREAT UNDERCARD HOLY COW, the headliners are definitely more pop leaning this year compared to the more diverse headliners in the past but wow the undercard is stacked! Only thing missing is more edm acts imo,” one Redditor added.
“I wonder why this lineup dropped like four months earlier than normal,” another Reddit User said.
