Having been
hailed as "The Best American Festival" by Rolling Stone and "Probably The Best Festival In The World" by the NME, the
Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival promises "a truly diverse line-up of music on two musical stages and in two dance
tents spread out over 78 acres amid gorgeous desert sunsets, towering palm trees and mountainous views."
Returning
Coachella performers include: Queens of the Stone Age, Underworld, Ben Harper and
the Innocent Criminals, Groove Armada (this year with a live performance), and Thievery
Corporation. The White Stripes, Primal Scream, N*E*R*D,
Idlewild, Badly DrawBlack Eyed Peas, Gomez and Felix
da Housecat are also carrying the flags for rock, electronic, dance and hip hop on this year's line-up.
The
Festival will also include a smattering of fresh newcomers in the form of The Libertines, The Music and The Polyphonic Spree among others.
Tickets for the festival go on sale Saturday, February 22 at

"It's been amazing to watch Coachella grow and to receive such positive feedback from the artists, the fans and the media,"
says promotor Paul Tollett, "We take true pride in this year's line-up. There are performers
