Doja Cat has said she’s ready to quit pop music as a result of her unpleasant interactions with fans on social media. slot that you had to wonder whether this lovably eccentric pop star might be ready to headline Coachella in 2023 (instead of warming up for the Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia, with whom she shares a manager).

At the Mojave tent, Italian rockers and Eurovision champs Måneskin brought the noise and the sass. “Sacrifice” and “How Do I Make You Love Me?” - both from his newish “Dawn FM” - were beautifully icy, while the industrial-sized disco groove of “Can’t My Feel Face” still delivered a wallop.
