- Now spread over two weekends, the West Coast festival also features Swedish House Mafia, M83, Dr Dre and many more.
- Coachella have revealed the lineup for their 2012 festival, taking place once again at Empire Polo Field in Indio, California. The most important difference about this year's festival is that it's expanded into two weekends: the first three days will take place on April 13th, 14th and 15th, and then the whole program will repeat in the same order exactly a week later. Aside from that it's business as usual, with big name pop acts, re-formed indie bands and a few electronic artists thrown in for good measure (though admittedly fewer of those this year than last). Radiohead return to the festival after headlining in 2003, and Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg close both rounds of the festival. Post-hardcore luminaries At The Drive in will play together for the first time in 11 years. When it comes to electronic music, the festival seems to have changed its approach a bit: last year's bill featured underground favorites like Kyle Hall, Mount Kimbie and Brandt Brauer Frick, but this year's is much heavier on arena-smashers like Swedish House Mafia, Kaskade, Avicii and Sebastian Ingrosso. That said, Flying Lotus will be there too, along with Modeselektor, SBTRKT and The Weeknd. Indie crossover stars M83 are confirmed as well.
