Coachella 2015 Lineup Announced With AC/DC, Jack White & Drake Headlining
Guys, the lineup for Coachella's annual desert concert list has just been announced—and it's a doozy. The headlining acts are AC/DC, Jack White and Drake, and they will all perform over two weekends, April 10-12 and April 17-19.
AC/DC is making their first and only festival appearance in 20 years at Coachella's Empire Polo Club, according to KROQ. We have to admit that at a first glance, we thought we were looking at one of those fake joke lineups that people tend to post during this time of year. Some of the other big names on the list are a blast from the past; they include Steely Dan, Belle & Sebastian, and Bad Religion. There's also alt-j, St. Vincent, Azealia Banks, Lykki Li, DJ Snake (yes, of "Turn Down For What" fame), Fitz & the Tantrums, Odesza, Ratatat, Florence and the Machine, Ryan Adams, and Ghostface Killah in the mix. There's a good amount of electronic music on the lineup as well with Allesso, Axwell Λ Ingrosso, Kaskade, Porter Robinson, and David Guetta as the top billers.
This tweet might sum up some of our feelings:

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
