Tame Impala Childish Gambino and Ariana Grande are scheduled to perform both weekends of the festival.
Last year's big Coachella performer, of course, was Beyoncé, who earned rave reviews for a two-weekend set that also included a Destiny's Child reunion and a duet with her husband, JAY-Z. Her powerhouse performance prompted the trending hashtag #Beychella. Her set was also the most-viewed Coachella performance ever on YouTube, and the most-viewed live music festival performance, period, on the platform.
There's no word yet on whether this year's Coachella will be live streamed for free, like the first weekend was last year.
Kanye West was rumored to be under consideration to headline Coachella this year, but TMZ reported just hours before the performers were revealed that negotiations had broken down over Kanye's stage design demands. None of that's confirmed.
Passes go on sale this Friday, January 4 at 11 AM PT via Coachella.com. As usual, there'll be the usual variety of ticket options and price levels.
