The 2014 Coachella Music and Arts Festival has tweeted out its annual line-up (below), which features OuKast, Muse and Arcade Fire each headlining over three days on two consecutive weekends — April 11-13 and April 18-20 at the site in Indio, Calif.
Other assorted and better-known artists playing this year’s festival include: the Replacements (who reunited earlier this year), Beck, Queens of the Stone Age, Pharrell Williams, Lorde, Skrillex, Motorhead, Calvin Harris, Pet Shop Boys, Knife, MGMT, Neutral Milk Holel, Lana Del Rey, Motorhead, Bryan Ferry, Afghan Whigs, Fatboy Slim and Haim among many others.
This year marks he 20th anniversary of headliner Outkast’s 1994 debut album “Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik,” and there had been previous reports of a Coachella reunion for some time.
When Arcade Fire announced their “Reflektor” tour in November, some noted the band’s routing neglected shows during Coachella’s announced weekends and had sheduled no dates for L.A., which is roughly two-hours away from the festival site.
Britsh rock band Muse recently released their third live album, “Live at Rome Olympic Stadium,” which also came out on DVD this past November.
Last year’s Coachella, promoted by Goldenvoice/AEG Live, won Top Festival honors at Billboard’s Touring Awards grossing more than $67 million dollars over six sold-out nights.
Over the course of its 14-year run, Coachella has hosted numerous memorable artist reunions, from the Pixies in 2004 to Rage Against The Machine in 2007 to Pavement in 2010. Last year’s headliners included the Stone Roses and Blur, who made Coachella’s two weekends their only U.S. dates of their recent reunion runs.
