Radiohead, Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar to headline Coachella
Coachella revealed its 2017 lineup on Tuesday, with Radiohead, Beyoncé, and Kendrick Lamar headlining both weekends of the three-night-long mega-festival in Indio, California. Lorde will also make her first stage appearance since 2014 at the festival, as will the The Avalanches, who will be performing in the U.S. for the first time in 15 years. Hans Zimmer, the composer behind famous film scores like The Lion King and Gladiator, will also be performing his major works.
Last year, Coachella sold 198,000 tickets, breaking its own attendance record. Festival passes for both weekends in 2017 go on sale Wednesday at 11 a.m. PST. See the dates and full lineup, below. Jeva Lange
