Now that the holidays have come and gone and everyone has celebrated their well intentioned, yet ill-fated New Year’s resolutions, there is only one more thing to look forward to: festival season! It’s still a couple months away, but the early shows have begun to release their yearly lineups with the West Coast’s premiere festival, Coachella, leading the charge, taking place April 10-12 and 17-19 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio. And while I’ve never been to the California-based festival, this year’s lineup proves to be one that will have me looking for my plane tickets as early as possible.
Headlining this year’s event will be notorious indie-rocker Jack White, along with Drake, and AC/DC, who will be performing their only festival appearance in 20 years. Other top slots have been dealt to Tame Impala, Interpol, Florence + the Machine, and The Weeknd. For all you EDM fans out there, the top spots will be taken by international superstar Kaskade, the recently formed Axwell /\ Ingrosso super duo, Alesso, and Nero. Other noteworthy acts include Alt-J, The Alabama Shakes, Lykke Li, Flosstradamus, Fitz and the Tantrums, David Guetta, and so many more!
Tickets for Coachella go on sale tomorrow (1/7/14), so don’t hesitate to grab yours as soon as possible via the official website and keep scrolling below to see the full lineup by day.
