After much speculation and anticipation, the organizers of the
Coachella Festival in Indio, CA announced the 2009 line-up today. Headliners will include Paul McCartney, The Killers and The Cure though there are a ton of great performers on all three days. Our own local indie rock royalty Superchunk will play a set on Saturday, April 18.
If you plan to go out to Indio for the festival, you can put your 3-day pass on layaway by paying 50% now and the rest in April. Not a bad call on the part of the organizers to get people to buy pricey festival passes in tough economic times. Tickets are available
here.
