After a typical spree of fake posters, the organizers behind renowned California music festival Coachella have confirmed the real deal, and, predictably, it’s awesome. For the first time this year, the festival will take place over two weekends, April 13-15 and 20-22, giving you double the chances to try and score tickets to catch a reunited At the Drive-In and Refused, as well as a rare stateside performance from Pulp.
More boldface names on the bill: Black Keys, Radiohead, The Weeknd, M83, Bon Iver, The Shins, Jeff Mangum, Snoop, Florence and the Machine, Beirut, Girl Talk… but check out the small print too for an impressive array of up-and-coming or big-in-England artists, like Givers, EMA, Childish Gambino, the Vaccines, araabMUZIK, Oberhofer, Wild Beasts, and Kendrick Lamar. We strongly suggest you start saving up!
