Coachella said "No!" to booking Kate Bush

Coachella said "No!" to booking Kate Bush

According to a feature in "The New Yorker", Goldenvoice CEO Paul Tollett curated and booked all 150 artists playing Coachella 2017... but he definitely refused to book one artist: British singer-songwriter and actress Kate Bush.

"The New Yorker" quotes Marc Geiger, the head of music at the agency William Morris Endeavour, as saying:

‘I’ll say, ‘Kate Bush!’ And [Tollet’ll] go, ‘No!,’ and we’ll talk through it. I’ll say, ‘She’s never played here, and she just did 30 shows in the UK for the first time since the late seventies. You gotta do it! Have to!’ ‘No! No one is going to understand it.’
