After months of speculation, the official lineup for the Coachella Music and Arts Festival has been announced. Paul McCartney, the Killers, and the Cure will headline the 10th annual event, set for April 17-19 at Indio, CA’s Empire Polo Field.
“I have heard that Coachella is one of the greatest festivals in the world,” said McCartney, who will be making his first appearance at the fest. “I’m really excited to get out there and rock!”
Other highlights: Morrissey, Leonard Cohen, and My Bloody Valentine, who were originally approached to perform at last year’s Coachella but were not prepared. Amy Winehouse is also slated to appear in what will be her first major U.S. show since performing at the 2008 Grammy Awards.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Franz Ferdinand, TV on the Radio, Band of Horses, the Hold Steady, Mastodon, Paul Weller, X, Peter Bjorn and John, Fleet Foxes, and Thievery Corporation are also confirmed for the event.
