Fan buzz after Dua Lipa’s LA show
A post on /r/coachella sparked a mini firestorm this week after a Redditor who attended Dua Lipa’s Los Angeles show said they felt they had been “robbed” of an obvious Coachella headliner. The thread — posted Oct. 8, 2025 by user LectureLost7863 — pulled in traction on the subreddit (171 upvotes, 28 comments) as fans weighed in on whether Dua belongs at the top of festival bills.
The post
Went to her show last night in LA with my girlfriend… God did we get absolutely robbed of an incredible headlining spot from her. Oh well…maybe 2027

Why the reaction landed
The sentiment isn’t surprising: fans argue Dua’s arena-level production and catalog of hits translates perfectly to big festival stages. On the subreddit, replies highlighted the setlist, visuals and crowd reaction from the LA show as proof that she can carry a headlining slot — even if festival programmers have different timing or plans.
What to watch next
Threads like this usually do two things: they amplify fan pressure on promoters and become a barometer for chatter heading into the next booking cycle. Whether Dua Lipa appears as a top-billed festival headliner — at Coachella or elsewhere — will depend on tour routing, release schedules and promoter strategy. Fans on the thread already penciled in 2027 as a likely window.
Short and sharp: a single LA show and a Reddit post remind the festival world that fan demand can buzz louder than booking calendars. Keep an eye on lineup updates — and on the subreddit — as next year’s festival bids and rumors start to heat up.
