Coachella 2014 Lineup: Full List Of This Year's Musical Performances, Where To Buy Tickets
Music-lovers, rejoice! It’s almost that time of year again when musicians flock to California to participate in the annual, well-loved Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
The official list, which was released by the fest on their website late Wednesday, confirms a list of over 150 musical performances set to take place at the festival this spring. According to the site, hip hop group OutKast, rock band Muse, and recent chart-toppers, indie group Arcade Fire, will all headline the annual event. Other big names, such as “Royals” singer Lorde, English songwriter Ellie Goulding, MGMT, Nas, Kid Cudi, Sleigh Bells, Motorhead, Skrillex and Calvin Harris will also appear.
In honor of the 16th annual concert extravangza, Coachella is using the promotional tagline, "Share it like a polaroid picture," referencing OutKast's hit single "Hey Ya!" to promote the two-weekend-long event on social media. The festival marks the first time OutKast stars, Andre 3000 and Big Boi, will perform together on a grand scale following a six-year hiatus. It was first rumored back in November that the duo would take the stage at Coachella before embarking on a yet to be confirmed 2014 tour. OutKast released their debut album, "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below," back in 2003.
In response to the release of the official announcement, rapper Big Boi, real name Antwan André Patton, shared his excitment for the impending date on social media. "Two [kings] one stage," tweeted the rapper. OutKast isn't the only group excited to perform, the Arcade Fire official Twitter account also released a statement Wednesday. "See you at Coachella 2014… Love, AF" the band posted. Muse has yet to use social media to publicly comment.
The Coachella Twitter account's initial tweet announcing this year's performers, which was shared by the festival Wednesday night, has since receieved over 25,700 retweets and almost 15,500 "favorites" on Twitter by their 429,750 followers.
Fans of the long-running musical fest have since begun sharing their thoughts on the scheduled musical performances, some pleased with the musical groups set to appear, others not so impressed, and some, completely indifferent to the annual madness. "Kid Cudi is all that I need to see on the Coachella lineup to be properly depressed," said Twitter user @jtahh Thursday. "only 2 respectable bands playing coachella this year... yet another festival that used to be good, gone down hill [sic]," posted user @ConnorRushBoden. "Never given a s--t about Coachella. Never seen a lineup that has interested me. Never understood the big deal," said @Lindsy0. "Is it just me or does the Coachella lineup look almost exactly as it has the last three years?" posted user @rightMau.
The 2014 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival will take place at Indio, Calif., from April 11-13 (weekend one) and April 18-20 (weekend two.) Tickets can be purchased here, but will not officially go on sale until Friday, January 10th starting at 10 a.m. PST. Entry prices range from $375 to $799.
Last year’s concert, which wrapped with a set from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, garnered upwards of 80,000 attendees. According to a report from CraveOnline.com, the event, which brought in a paltry 25,000 guests during its initial year in 1999, has exploded in popularity in recent years, experiencing a reported 400 percent attendance increase since 2012.
