For those about to rock, we salute you. AC/DC will headline the 2015 edition of the Coachella Music and Arts Festival. The mega-festival will also feature Jack White, Drake, Tame Impala, Interpol, Ryan Adams, David Guetta, and St. Vincent. As always it’s a deep, deep, lineup guaranteed to elicit squeals, hipster noncommittal shrugs (accompanied with grunts of “overrated”), lots of fist pumping, and my mom telling me that she doesn’t know any of these bands except for Steely Dan.
Coachella, the undisputed king of the double weekend festival, will take place from April 10-12 and April 17-19, 2015, under the bright, hot sun of Indio, California.
