The r/coachella subreddit recently ignited with discussion over "New-Attitude’s Mock V5," a fan-crafted Coachella 2025 lineup imagining Kendrick Lamar and SZA co-headlining Friday, Sabrina Carpenter topping Saturday, Oasis closing Sunday, and Childish Gambino as a highlighted special guest.
Community Reactions & Highlights:
-
Kendrick Lamar + SZA Friday Co-Headliners: The pairing was widely praised, though conversation around whether they’d truly share a headline slot persists. Notably, Kendrick’s Grand National Tour with SZA (April–December 2025) suggests potential scheduling conflicts that fans have pointed out.
-
Sabrina Carpenter on Saturday: Mixed feelings emerged; some see her as an unlikely equal to Kendrick or SZA in payment and draw, yet her growing mainstream appeal earns her respect among others.
-
Lineup Placement Skepticism: Some users expressed disappointment with certain day assignments, calling Saturday’s lineup “one of the worst in recent memory” — a reminder that lineup taste is subjective.
-
Exciting but Unlikely Inclusions: The presence of The Wiggles, Skrillex, and A Day To Remember (ADTR) excited some fans, though others doubt the feasibility given genre fit and touring logistics.
-
Childish Gambino as a “New World” Highlight: Acknowledged warmly as a major draw, but fans remain aware of his busy filming and music schedule when speculating on his availability.
Overall Sentiment:
The mock lineup is celebrated for its ambitious diversity and creativity, even if community members remain realistic about possible booking hurdles. With Coachella 2025 set for two weekends in April, anticipation for the official lineup announcement continues to build.
