Reunions, Surprise Acts And Comebacks

The big reunion at Coachella 2020 is the return of Rage Against The Machine, who last performed at the festival in 2007 and last played together as a group in 2011. Elsewhere, K-pop fans worldwide are ecstatic for the return of South Korean boy band BIGBANG, who are reuniting as a group for the first time since 2018, the year the act went on official hiatus after some of its members enlisted in their homeland’s military and another member retired from the entertainment industry amid criminal and legal investigations against him. The BIGBANG booking continues Coachella’s expansion into K-pop, which last year welcomed BLACKPINK as the first K-pop girl group to perform at the festival.

The biggest surprise act to wow Coachella fans is Danny Elfman, the former Oingo Boingo frontman who’s since become a film and TV score composer virtuoso. (You might know him best as the man behind the everlasting theme song of “The Simpsons” as well as the scores and music for major blockbuster films like Planet Of The Apes (2001), The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), Pee-wee’s Big Adventure (1985) and many others.) While Elfman may be the odd man out at this year’s lineup, he joins fellow film score composer Hans Zimmer, who performed at the festival in 2017, in Coachella history.

[Article] Coachella 2020 Lineup list – BigBang is back to perform this year

Coachella 2020 lineup is revealed officially. Rage Against the Machine, Travis Scott, and Frank Ocean are headlining the Calvin Harris, Run the Jewel, 21 Savage, Flume, Lana Del Ray, Lil Uzi, and more. But one of the most surprising and hypes names on the Coachella 2020 lineups is BigBang. Yes, this K-Pop boy group is going to perform this year at the musical festival.

So it is good news to BigBang fans because the k-pop group will have a big comeback this year. BigBang fans are very surprised and happy to lineup for Coachella 2020 because well the BigBang is in the lineup of performers. Their schedule of performance will be on April 10 and 17 and fans are ecstatic since it’s going to be their comeback. The K-Pop group has been on hiatus since 2017 when most of the members participated in the mandatory military enlistment.

Taeyang even posted the Coachella lineup poster on his official Instagram handle. While most of us are happy to “k-pop Kings” perform again but it is also going to be a bittersweet moment since the original group of five will now be only four.

Seungri already left the BigBang group and its agency after his alleged scandals. So, since the remaining members are G-Dragon, T.O.P, Taeyang, and Daesung. Let’s expect that it’s just four of them to perform from now on. It is sad to see that BIGBANG is no longer complete but right now fans are just so grateful that BigBang will still perform and make a comeback even with one fewer member.

There are so many controversies that were thrown at BIGBANG but no one can deny that they are one of the best k-pop performers out there. Coachella 2020 is a very big comeback since they will perform internationally. Last year Black Pink performed in Coachella too and it was very successful. So are you excited to see BigBang perform on stage again after over 2 years? Here’s the complete list of Coachella 2020 lineup revealed at its official twitter handle.
