The Stone Roses, New Order, Four Tet, Moby and Jamie Jones are among the names confirmed for this year’s Coachella festival.
Coachella, based in the Colorado Desert area of southern California (Indio to be precise), offers a wide array of music and sculptural art over two consecutive weekends; music lovers can expect to hear everything from rock and hip-hop to lo-fi indie and electronic. This year, the festival runs April 12-14 and April 19-21. It has quickly become one of the biggest dates in the international music festival calendar.
Other initial ‘electronic’ names confirmed include Grimes, Jessie Ware, The XX, Richie Hawtin, Loco Dice, Seth Troxler, Sigur Ros, The 2 Bears, Luciano, Paul Oakenfold, Paul Kalkbrenner, Julio Bashmore, James Blake, Hot Chip, Dinosaur Jr, DJ Harvey, Eric Prydz, Cassy and Bingo Players. Elsewhere, Wu-Tang Clan, Jake Bugg, blur, Alt-J, Bat For Lashes, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds make the kaleidoscopic line-up.
Each weekend will feature the same line-up, across several stages, tents and zones. Further updates can be found via www.coachella.com
