The Twitter account for the the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (a.k.a. "Coachella") low-key dropped their 2017 lineup Tuesday morning, and it's not-so-low-key insane.
Radiohead, Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar are set to headline on three-day festival, which will be held on two consecutive weekends this April (April 14 to 16 and April 21 to 23).
Highlights for Friday night—besides Radiohead, of course—include Father John Misty, The xx, and Crystal Castles. Bon Iver, Four Tet, and Gucci Mane are among those who will join Beyoncé in rocking the Saturday lineup, and Lorde, Justice, Devendra Banhart, New Order (!!) and ska legends Toots and the Maytals are all among those who will join Kendrick Lamar on Sunday.
Weirdly, Hans Zimmer is also listed as part of the Sunday lineup. Is that Hans Zimmer the legendary film composer, or is there a hip new DJ also named Hans Zimmer? According to the official Twitter account for Hans Zimmer Live, it appears the real Zimmer will, in fact, be playing Coachella. We are stoked.
Coachella 2017 will go on sale Wednesday, January 4 at 11:00 a.m. PST.
The full lineup is below.
