Dua Lipa has cemented her status as a global pop superstar in recent years. Her potential position as a main headliner comes as no shock to fans who have watched her rule radio airwaves and pack out massive arena tours worldwide. Securing her presence gives the festival one of the most bankable and high-energy performers in modern pop music. Meanwhile, Tame Impala remains a battle-tested festival powerhouse. The Australian musical project has previously commanded the main stage with mind-bending psychedelic visuals and giant sonic arrangements. Bringing them back into the fold alongside a huge pop force provides a well-rounded sonic mix for the thousands of concertgoers making the pilgrimage.

Electronic dance music phenom Fred again.. is also being strongly attached to the upcoming event chatter. Rather than taking a standard top-line headlining bill, reports say he is poised to claim the prominent "Returning to the Desert" performance slot. That specialized booking category has historically highlighted high-profile dance acts capable of delivering massive, late-night high-octane energy. While festival promoter Goldenvoice has not officially confirmed any of these reported bookings, early lineup speculation always gets music lovers talking well in advance. As negotiation details continue to surface, anticipation will only grow to see how the official desert roster ultimately comes together.
