Decrease Font Size Increase Font Size Text Size Print This Page

One of the world’s best known festivals (up there with the legendary Woodstock and our very own Glastonbury) has revealed its 2012 line up and it’s gonna be a hard one to beat! Coachella, which takes place in California in April, unveiled its immense line-up earlier today and its website has briefly crashed under the weight of the traffic.

Headlining the multi-date event is Oxford sound pioneers Radiohead, who played a secret gig at last year’s Glastonbury, but who haven’t toured for years. They’re joined by headliners The Black Keys and Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Other acts confirmed for what could be the festival of the year are Pulp, who made a triumphant return in 2011, At The Drive In, who yesterday revealed they were reforming, and The Shins, who are about to release some new material. Sounds like a cliche, but there really is something for everyone. Top notch acts for indie/Americana fans include Bon Iver, Beirut, M Ward, Laura Marling and more. And for dance fans, David Guetta, DJ Shadow, Swedish House Mafia, Calvin Harris, Girl Talk, Nero and more. Other acts include The Horrors, Feist, Fanfarlo, The Vaccines, James, Band of Skulls, Kaiser Chiefs, Jeff Mangum, Yuck, Wu Lyf, St Vincent, SBTRKT, Real Estate, First Aid Kid and more.

Coachella Festival 2012 takes place in Indio, nr LA, from April 13-15 and April 21-23. Full line up and tickets, which start at $285 / £185 go on sale Friday, available HERE.
