Coachella 2015 Lineup Released

All the rumors and speculation can finally be put to rest — the eclectic 2015 lineup is out. Whispers of Drake had been circling the web over the past few months, and they proved true. Steely Dan will instill us all with a strange sense of nostalgia we genetically received from our parents, Jack White will unapologetically tear his slide guitar to shreds, David Guetta will press the play button on his laptop, and AC/DC will limp around stage, with or without psychopathic drummer Phil Rudd, playing the tunes that made them legends while promoting a new album that, for better or for worse, sounds exactly like all their others.

Ok, humor aside, this lineup has a lot of small-font gems: Hot Natured, Kiesza, Gorgon City, Pete Tong, Oliver Heldens, Tycho, New World Punx, Alison Wonderland, Cashmere Cat, Duke Dumont, St. Lucia . . . to name a few. However, it’s a shame that this marks the eighth straight year that Coachella has failed to enlist a female-fronted group or artist as a headliner (since Björk in 2007).

The next batch of 3-day passes goes on sale today at noon on the Coachella website.
