Coachella 2012. It’s here.

The 2012 lineup for Coachella has The Black Keys, Radiohead and Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg as headliners, and Hello Seahorse!, Ximena Sarinana, and Le Bucherettes representing the Latin Alternative market in this year’s two-weekend music festival.

Held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, CA, the annual event draws thousands of music goers to one of the most awaited music festivals of the year. Last year pre-sale tickets sold out one week after the lineup was announced, leaving many fans out in the cold (or heat?). This year, however, festival organizers decided to try something new and have expanded the festival to two weekends, April 13-15 and April 20-22, with the same lineup for both weekends.

Passes for both weekends go on sale this Friday, January 13 at 10 AM PST.  There are not many left for Weekend 1 and those must be purchased with a shuttle pass. General admission festival passes start at $285.

A message from the event organizers:

“Between now and this Thursday, January 12th we strongly advise you to go set up your purchasing account to expedite the purchasing process. To set up your account for Weekend 1 go here or Weekend 2 go here (don't worry, if you decide to get passes for the other weekend you can easily have your account transferred to the other weekend when buying your passes). Already have an account? Go Here to sign in. 

In the meantime, please familiarize yourself with the purchasing process ahead of time. You can review the step-by-step instructions on the HOW TO PURCHASE PAGE.”
