Beyoncé, Eminem and The Weeknd will be the headliners of Coachella's influential American music festival, the organizers of the rally announced on Tuesday, which for the first time will not have a rocker as their main attraction.
The festival, which takes place in the Californian desert in April on two consecutive weekends with the same programming, will mark the great return of Beyoncé, which will be the first concert since she gave birth to twins last June.
The pop star had promised last year that she would perform this year (13-15 and 20-22 April) after having to give up Coachella on the advice of his doctors, replaced by Lady Gaga.
The rapper Eminem will be the other big name of Coachella, back on stage after the release of his album "Revival" last month.
The Canadian R & B singer The Weeknd, who has exploded in recent years, will for the first time figurehead for this festival in which he has already participated.
This choice of Coachella is just one more sign that the traditional rock bands are losing ground on the American cultural chessboard, nibbled by the hip-hop which gleaned for the first time the majority of the nominations at the latest Grammy Awards.
Even though the gondola heads have changed, many rockers will still be present in April, such as The War on Drugs or alt-J.
The 2018 edition will also mark the first steps of the French Jean-Michel Jarre to Coachella, he who made his first American tour last year.
