Coachella Announces 2012 Lineup

Coachella has announced the lineup for their 2012 festival, which will be staged, for the first time, across two weekends, with the exact same lineups each time.

We already tipped you to the fact that legendary post-rock firebrands Godspeed You! Black Emperor were likely on the bill, and, following that lead, there's a definite '90s vibe to lots of the bill. Like: Godspeed!, Cat Power, Jeff Mangum, Radiohead, Pulp, Mazzy Star... this was pretty much exactly what I was listening to in 1997.

Sunday will be headlined by Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, the reunion circuit sends forth the newly-back-in-action At the Drive-In, Refused, and Firehose, and, wait, is that Atari Teenage Riot on the bill?

Coachella will be held from Friday 13 April to Sunday 15 April, and again a week later from Friday 20 April to Sunday 22 April. Godspeed, people set to battle the inhumane heat...

Friday: The Black Keys, Girls, The Horrors, Arctic Monkeys, Pulp, Mazzy Star, Cat Power, EMA, Yuck, Wu Lyf, Explosions in the Sky, M83, The Rapture, Neon Indian, Givers, and oh so many more.

Saturday: Radiohead, SBTRKT, Destroyer, Bon Iver, Feist, Jeff Mangum, Firehose (okay, fIREHOSE), Godspeed You! Black Emperor, The Shins, Andrew Bird, St. Vincent, Tune-Yards, Grouplove, Keep Shelly in Athens, We Were Promised Jetpacks, The Black Lips, The Big Pink, The Vaccines and countless more humans.

Sunday: At the Drive-In, DJ Shadow, Girl Talk, Metronomy, Wild Beasts, Beirut, First Aid Kit, Fanfarlo, Gardens and Villa, Real Estate, Wild Flag, Le Butcherettes, and piles of nostalgia-act rappers.
