The Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival will return to Indio, Calif.'s Empire Polo Field on April 30 and May 1. The sixth annual festival will feature around more than 70 acts.
The weekend offers a number of exciting reunions and performances from many seldom seen bands.
The first day features sets by goth gods Bauhaus, and The Cocteau Twins, who haven't performed in the U.S. in, oh... a really, really long time.
Other April 30 artists include Coldplay, Weezer, Wilco, Keane, Snow Patrol, Chemical Brothers and the Doves.
May 1 brings headliners Nine Inch Nails, New Order, Bright Eyes and Gang Of Four as well as The Prodigy, The Arcade Fire, The Faint, Black Star, Roni Size and many others.
The Goldenvoice-promoted event began in 1999 and has become one of the country's most celebrated festivals.
