Any music guru would know that the Coachella Music and Arts Festival is the biggest concert of the year. This three day event, which is being held April 16-18 at the Empire Polo Field in Indio, is known for bringing hundreds of bands, DJs, artists and music lovers together for an all-weekend party.

The line up for the 11th annual festival was announced early Tuesday morning and is one that is sure not to be forgotten.

With headliners such as Jay-Z, Thom Yorke???, Muse and the Gorillaz there is a little something for every genre. Along with this year’s main attractions you can also catch up-and-coming artists such as Portugal. The Man, MGMT, Phoenix, Vampire Weekend.
“It’s the Woodstock of our generation,” said communications major Angie Moreno, “I went to Coachella last year with a group of friends. Although it was rather expensive, it was worth every penny!” 

Tickets for the festival go on sale Friday. Jan. 22 at 10 a.m. A three day pass is available for $269 plus a service fee. Camping is availible on site for $55. For the first  time the festival is offering 10’ x 30’ camping space for a tent and car. This year you don’t have to lug all your gear from your car to the camp ground.       

Tickets are available on Coachella’s official website at www.coachella.com where you can also check out layaway options, the full three day lineup, and all news updates.
