Coachella 2023: What Surprises Are Coming to the Desert?

Coachella returns this weekend to Indio, Calif., with Bad Bunny, BLACKPINK and Frank Ocean headlining.

So what can we expect from the three-day festival? On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are looking ahead to what surprises might be in store from the stacked lineup. Could BLACKPINK bring out one of their many pop-star collaborators, like Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga or Dua Lipa? Might Bad Bunny call up one of this high-profile friends, like Drake, Cardi B or J Balvin?

Billboard will be on the ground covering all three days of weekend 1, and you can tune in live on YouTube to follow along with all the fun. Listen to the new Pop Shop Podcast below:
