Coachella Lineup and Ticket Information
If you’re anything like me, you’ve been trying all day to access coachella.com. To no avail. The website is down, likely because they are gearing up for an enormous wave of traffic this Friday, January 13th, when tickets to Coachella 2012 go on sale on Coachella.com. For now, we’re left sitting and staring (perhaps drooling) at the lineup that they just released, immediately shutting down rumors that were started by fake accounts who let loose their own versions of the Coachella 2012 lineup. This right here is the official lineup.
The festival will take place over the course of TWO weekends. The first is April 13-15 and the second is April 20-22. Lineups will be the same over the course of two weekends; the sole purpose of doing this is for crowd management. Yes. The festival is THAT big of a deal.
Some of the performances that I’m looking forward to most include:
Friday: M83, GIRLS, Madeon, Frank Ocean, Dawes, Kendrick Lamar
Saturday: Radiohead, Bon Iver, The Shins, Miike Snow, SBTRKT, Azealia Banks, A$AP Rocky, Childish Gambino
Sunday: Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, Florence + the Machine, Avicii, Beirut, The Weeknd, Gotye, Fitz and the Tantrums, Wild Beasts
Perhaps the hidden treasure of the weekend will be Beirut, whose song “Santa Fe” was one of my favorites this year.
MP3: “Santa Fe” – Beirut
Who are YOU most excited to see?
