00:00Big Coachella news.
00:01Well, and there's a kind of a connection to Kim Kardashian.
00:03Certainly.
00:04I mean, this is her almost brother-in-law.
00:08Right.
00:09Travis Scott is finally going to be playing Coachella.
00:14It's a gig that's basically five years in the making
00:17because they've been trying since 2020 to get him there.
00:21And now he will be, we found out that he
00:24is going to be a special guest on Saturday night.
00:29Now, it was already announced Post Malone
00:31is going to be the headliner on Sunday night.
00:34We also know that Lady Gaga and Green Day
00:36are going to be the other headliners.
00:38We don't know which day, which night they're going to be.
00:41We don't know which one is with Travis.
00:43With Travis.
00:44But it's really interesting that he's
00:46going to be there because, look, everybody's
00:48talking about, remember what happened at Astroworld.
00:51Which was the last time they tried to get him there.
00:53And the decks are cleared now.
00:55And he's going to be at Coachella.
00:57Yeah.
00:58At the same time, he just cleared
00:59his Circus Maximus tour.
01:01He just rocked ComplexCon.
01:03They made it CactusCon to honor him.
01:06He's fully back.
01:07He's going to be headlining WWE Raw on Netflix next year.
01:12So this Coachella look is going to be incredible.
01:15And also, he's going to bring a lot of new energy
01:17to the festival.
01:18You know, I got to say, when Astroworld happened,
01:20a lot of people were saying, is this
01:22going to torpedo his career?
01:24And I think he lost some sponsors.
01:25I think he was doing McDonald's, wasn't he?
01:27Yeah, McDonald's stayed on board with him, though.
01:29They stayed on board.
01:31But he did lose some sponsors.
01:32He did lose some sponsors.
01:34But look, we knew it would take some time.
01:37But clearly, enough time has passed now.
01:39And he's back.
01:41We should note that that's, you know.
01:42Didn't he settle all the lawsuits
01:43at Astroworld, too?
01:44I don't know if he settled.
01:45No, no, not all of them.
01:46I don't know if he settled all of them.
01:48But there were a huge swath of them
01:49that he did settle last month.
01:52He's been doing this very slowly and quietly.
01:55But you know, when you think about that crowd
01:58at Astroworld, which was huge, right?
02:01But that was 50,000 people, roughly.
02:06Coachella is a lot more than that.
02:08Now, it's also, it can be like three times that.
02:13But it's a much larger venue also, so.
02:16And it's chill.
02:17What do you know about Coachella?
02:19Oh, we had a whole thing.
02:20When was the last time you were at Coachella?
02:21OK, we had a whole thing about it
02:22in the morning meeting today.
02:23That it's chill?
02:24That it's way more chill, yes.
02:26Yeah.
02:26But I guess that's the question.
02:28Will it remain chill when Travis comes on?
02:30First of all, don't Coachella shame me, OK?
02:33Do not Coachella shame me.
02:35I've never been either, so.
02:37Hi, it's Amari from Michigan.
02:38And I just wanted to say that when
02:40it comes to the industry, redemption
02:42is extremely important.
02:43And I feel like Travis has had more than enough time
02:45to self-reflect on this entire situation.
02:47And I just see this being a great way for him
02:49to really redeem himself.
02:51Yeah, I think that is, um.
02:52Kardashians will be there.
02:55Interesting.
02:56Will Kylie go?
02:57I think she will.
02:58I think they get along.
03:00With Timothy, will she go?
03:01Oh.
