One artist on the bill is upset about the poster, and another shocks fans, as he's one of the most famous actors on the planet.
The lineup for Coachella Music and Arts Festival 2019 has been announced, and Twitter is losing its collective mind.
Taking place in Indio, California, with identical lineups across the weekends of April 12 and April 19, the festival's headliners will be Childish Gambino, Tame Impala and Ariana Grande.

14 Reasons Why Ariana Grande Was the Late-Night TV MVP of 2018
View StoryAlso set to perform at the massive festival are Solange, Kid Cudi, Janelle Monáe, Pusha-T, Diplo, DJ Big Driis (otherwise known as Idris Elba), Kacey Musgraves, YG, K-pop girl group BLACKPINK, R&B breakout star H.E.R., Nigerian singer-songwriter Burna Boy and dozens more.
But there were four acts in particular that really had Twitter talking. More on that below.
Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande was the most discussed pop star of 2018 -- a title she just might hang on to this year. The 25-year-old will be just the fourth female artist -- and the youngest woman ever -- to headline Coachella, which she will close on Sunday night. Ari follows in the footsteps of Lady Gaga, Bjork and Beyoncé.
"Humbled and excited as all hell," she said of the honor.
Needless to say, Ariana's extremely loyal fans blew up Twitter with celebratory memes, GIFs and messages the moment her name appeared on the 2019 roster.

People are stoked about BLACKPINK's listing, considering the girl group will be the first female K-pop act to grace the desert stage in the festival's 20-year history. People are also ecstatic that the girls are big fans of Ariana Grande, and that the feeling seems to be mutual! We are all standing by for that backstage selfie.
You're telling me Blackpink made it to the Coachella lineup? Guys, that is actually a genius move! Coachella is the biggest music festival in America, so they will get more exposure!

View StoryIdris Elba
Did you know the "Luther" star and People's Sexiest Man Alive is also a DJ?! It's true. The actor moonlights as DJ Big Driis when he's not busy acting. His stans are absolutely elated, and his fans are still processing that the man has a music career, too. Is there anything he can't do?
Wait like...THAT Idris Elba? pic.twitter.com/BFr6Y3shWq

I would deadass pay $500 to see Idris Elba stand still on a stage and just breathe into a microphone, so pLEASE tell me what this man finna do at Coachella I'm losing my fucking mIND

Shout out to @idriselba performing at Coachella.
@GoldingGirl617
And shame on all of you who didn't know he's a WHOLE DJ.
You, an idiot: IDRIS ELBA IS A DJ????
@daniellegee
Me, an intellectual: Yes.
I guess all of the people freaking out about Idris Elba Being on the Coachella list don't follow him on social media...where ALL HE TWEETS ABOUT IS BEING A DJ.

Why 2018 Was an Especially No Good, Very Bad Year for Celebrities
View StoryBurna Boy
When Nigerian star Burna Boy was announced as part of the lineup, he took to social media to express his disappointment in the way his name was listed on the poster.
"Coachella, I really appreciate you, but I don't appreciate the way my name is written so small in your bill," he wrote in a since-deleted Instagram Story. "I am an AFRICAN GIANT and will not be reduced to whatever that tiny writing means. Fix [things] quick, please."
While some social media users felt Burna Boy's reaction was merited, others felt he should be grateful for the major opportunity.
Probably has more fans than Ariana Grande????? WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE SMOKING????
@QueenFuna
Coachella has apologized and corrected their error.

No vex African Giant pic.twitter.com/uhqYISkFvS
Burna Boy not being recognised as an African Giant by Coachella will not distract us from the fact that ASUU is still on strike after 9 weeks.

When do we want it? NOW!!
Lmaoooooo somebody went to clean a whole Ariana Grande's name & Put Burna Boy. No Respect 😭🤦♂️ pic.twitter.com/swYdbM4YcT

Your biggest hit doesn't even have 10m YouTube views. Ariana Grande alone can pull 300k people... The list is full of artistes bigger than you.. Just build on your amazing year and keep getting better
@OlaTheOG
Then.. Maybe one day!
Even the people Burna paid to run Ads during his concert are mocking him about this coachella saga😂😂😂😂 moral lesson: nobody gives AF bout you, they just want your money.
@sleeky4
Twitter is a dangerous zone😂😂😂😂😂😂

@amarachio_
Lol. Burns Boy needs to calm down with the African Giant rant. Even Idris Elba, a multiple award winner's name was written in smaller letters. Yes it's good to know your worth, but even more STAY HUMBLE. Coachella is a coveted WORLD stage, bigger than any ' African Giant '. pic.twitter.com/l7CKSgPUmg
