In a sentence
With two identical line ups on consecutive weeks, Coachella boasts what is probably the strongest overall line up in the world.
Headliners
The Black Keys
Radiohead
Dr Dre & Snoop Dogg
If you only see one band
This could have been anybody of dozens, but ignoring the headliners, I wouldn’t want to miss The Shins.
Hidden down the order
It shows the strength of the line up that Gaslamp Killer looks like he’ll be on very early on the final day.
