The moment we've all been waiting for has finally arrived! At around 8:30 tonight, the Coachella lineup was announced and as usual, it contains some interesting names.
Headliners have a heavy dose of rock including The Stone Roses (!!!) and Blur Friday, Phoenix on Saturday, with the Sunday night headliner being the un-indie Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Besides that, there are some badass acts on the bill include surprises like Lou Reed, New Order, Violent Femmes and Jurassic 5. For those of you who are asking, yes, Social Distortion will be on the bill as well.
There will also be a steady dose of hip-hop with Wu Tang Clan, Action Bronson, Danny Brown, 2 Chainz and Pusha T amongst others playing, including plenty of retuning acts. How many can you count?
Take a look above and analyze the rest of lineup, give us your thoughts and let's all get ready for April 12-14 and 19-21. It can't come soon enough!
P.S. After all those “hints” about the Rolling Stones gracing the polo fields, what have we learned? A headliner is never confirmed until they're confirmed.
