The Poway-bred pop-punk band blink-182 will replace Frank Ocean as the Sunday headliner for the closing night of the 2023 Coachella Valley Music & Arts festival’s second weekend. The band will perform from 9 to 10:20 p.m.
The trio, which was formed in 1992, is scheduled to launch a reunion tour May 4 in Minnesota following its surprise set last Friday in the Sahara Tent, one of Coachella’s secondary stages.Announced Thursday afternoon, blink’s move up to the festival’s main stage is an easy transition for blink, at least logistically speaking.
