LOS ANGELES, Jan 10 — The lineup for the 13th annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival was announced January 9, with headliners Radiohead, The Black Keys and rappers Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.

The event located in the desert of Indio, California, spans two weekends this year, April 13-15 and April 20-22, with all acts performing both weekends.

Other artists on the bill include Florence + the Machine, indie act Bon Iver, the psychedelic electronica of M83, singer-songwriter Cat Power, DJ David Guetta, the Arctic Monkeys, reggae legend Jimmy Cliff and punk icons the Buzzcocks.

Tickets available January 13 include remaining 3-day passes for US$285 (RM900), VIP passes for US$665, and a general admission with a hotel shuttle for US$335.

The traffic to the site has currently crashed but is expected to be running by 10am PT Friday. Tickets went on sale last June 2011 for one week and a 10-month payment plan will be available next year.

More than 100,000 music fans head to the desert for this opener of the summer festival season in North America.
