Radiohead, Black Keys to Headline Coachella

By , About.com GuideJanuary 9, 2012

Follow me on:

It's been rumored since September, but today it became official: Radiohead will be one of the headliners of this year's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The event, which for the first time ever will take place over two straight weekends, will find the celebrated U.K. band playing April 14 and 21.

Radiohead aren't the only rock band putting in an appearance, though. The Black Keys will be playing at the top of the bill on April 13 and 20. (Arctic Monkeys, who are currently touring with the Black Keys, will also play those same dates.) Noel Gallagher, who put out his first post-Oasis album last year, will perform April 14 and 21 as well.

When we get closer to the show, I'll spotlight all the must-see rock bands on the bill, but another group that will garner some attention is At the Drive-In, the hard-rock outfit who haven't put out a studio record since 2000's Relationship of Command. But now the band is back together, with Coachella being their big reunion. They'll play April 15 and 22.
