Lady Gaga To Replace Beyoncé As Coachella 2017 Headliner
“Let's party in the desert!”
Pressure's taking its toll
Stuck in the middle zone
I just want you alone
My guessing game is strong
Way too real to be wrong
Caught up in your show
Yeah, at least now I know
It wasn't love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Mistaken for love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Oh, you were a perfect illusion
I don't need eyes to see
I felt you touching me
High like amphetamine
Maybe you're just a dream
That's what it means to crush
Now that I'm waking up
I still feel the blow
But at least now I know
It wasn't love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Mistaken for love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (perfect illusion)
(Where are you? 'Cause I can't see you)
It was a perfect illusion (But I feel you watching me)
(Dilated, falling free in a modern ecstasy)
(Where are you? 'Cause I can't see you)
It was a perfect illusion (But I feel you watching me)
(But I feel you watching me)
Illusion (But I feel you watching me)
Mistaken for love
(Where are you? 'Cause I can't see you)
(But I feel you watching me)
Mistaken for love (Dilated, falling free)
(In a modern ecstasy) Mistaken for love
(In a modern ecstasy)
(In a modern ecstasy)
I'm over the show
Yeah, at least now I know
It wasn't love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Mistaken for love, it wasn't love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Oh, you were a perfect illusion
Oh, it was a perfect illusion
It was a perfect illusion
Somewhere in all the confusion
It was a perfect illusion, illusion, illusion
It was a perfect illusion
Somewhere in all the confusion
You were so perfect
You were a, you were a perfect illusion
Fresh from the GRAMMYs and her frenetic Super Bowl performance – which saw Gaga leap from the roof of the stadium – Lady Gaga will now replace Beyoncé as Coachella 2017 headliner.
Beyoncé, who is pregnant with twins, pulled out of the dual-date headliner slot on doctor’s orders.
“Let's party in the desert!” Lady Gaga wrote on Twitter alongside an updated line-up poster, as the announcement was made. Gaga’s two headline performances (15 & 22 April) at Coachella will be followed by her full world tour, which includes four UK dates.
Lady Gaga will play in London on October 9 & 11, in Birmingham on October 15, and in Manchester on October 17. Unfortunately, Lady Gaga won’t be able to play in Bognor Regis this time around.
Organisers said that Beyoncé would be back to headline the festival in 2018.
"Following advice of doctors to keep a less rigorous schedule, Beyonce has made the decision to forgo performing at the 2017 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival," a statement said.
"However, Goldenvoice and Parkwood are pleased to confirm that she will be a headliner at the 2018 festival. Thank you for your understanding."
Radiohead and Kendrick Lamar are still set to headline the festival.
