The Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival usually waits until the end of January to make their lineup announcements, but fans can now rejoice, because Coachella has just Tweeted the official lineup poster. And it’s full of awesome acts. Something that’s to be expected if you’ve seen their lineups of years past.
The massive music festival, which has its fair share of A-list fans, takes place each year in Indio, California, and this year the event will take place April 13-15 as well as April 20-22.
On Friday, April 13 and 20th, the Black Keys will headline. Then, Radiohead will take the stage on Saturday, April 14 and 21st, and Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg will perform Sunday, April 15 and 22. That is, if Snoop doesn’t try smuggling weed into Texas again.
Cat Power, Afrojack, Arctic Monkeys, and Swedish House Mafia are all slated for both Friday performances as well. And Saturday boasts performances from Andrew Bird, the Buzzcocks, and Fiest. Girl Talk and DJ Shadow will take the stage along with Snoop and Dre on Sunday.
Radiohead is the festival’s #1 most requested artist for several years running, so its due time for the group to make their way to Coachella. Rumors surfaced around the lineup for months, with speculation that No Doubt, Foo Fighters and LMFAO would also be on the bill. No luck there, but hey, that doesn’t mean there can’t be surprises.
Tickets will be on sale soon on Coachella.com.
