Young Thug Announces Coachella Album
Young Thug announced a new album titled 'DBC (Day Before Coachella)' ahead of festival season. The title suggests a strategic release timing to capitalize on Coachella's massive cultural impact and audience reach.
- This new album follows his 2023 project, *Business Is Business*, which was released while he was incarcerated. That album featured artists such as Drake, Travis Scott, and 21 Savage. - *Business Is Business* debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 89,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. His previous two studio albums, *Punk* (2021) and *So Much Fun* (2019), both debuted at No. 1. - Young Thug is scheduled to perform on the closing nights of both Coachella weekends, Sunday, April 12, and Sunday, April 19, 2026. Other notable hip-hop acts on the lineup include Clipse, Little Simz, and Sexyy Red. - The announcement comes as Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Williams, continues to face a lengthy RICO trial in Fulton County, Georgia. The trial began in November 2023 and has since become the longest in the state's history. - Young Thug has a history of controversial festival appearances, with fans at past events like Lollapalooza and Life is Beautiful reporting that he was significantly late and performed a short, low-energy set.
