Our Reading
The trend returns with a new name.
Coachella’s revival of 90s and early 2000s acts feels like a rehashing of past festivals. The headlining trio of Rage Against the Machine, Travis Scott, and Frank Ocean is a familiar mix of rock, hip-hop, and R&B. The festival’s focus on nostalgia is nothing new, as seen in previous years’ bookings of legacy acts like AC/DC and Guns N’ Roses. The revival of 90s and early 2000s fashion trends is also expected to make an appearance. Coachella has become a festival of rehashed ideas, where the past is repackaged as the present.
