The 2011 Coachella Lineup has been announced! The three day musical event takes place April 15-17 in the sweltering heat of Indio, California. Top headliners include: Kings of Leon, The Strokes, Arcade Fire, and Kanye West, as well as The Black Keys, Interpol, Animal Collective, Bright Eyes, Mumford and Sons, Lauryn Hill, Duran Duran and PJ Harvey. And of course, that's not nearly the end of it. Other notable performers include: Sleigh Bells, Chromeo, Cee Lo Green, Klaxons, The Drums, Scissor Sisters, Foals, The Presets, CSS and more.

Every passing year, I dream of going to this festival, which is most often an event of epic musical proportions. This year is no different. Anyone want to start a “Send Vanessa to Coachella Fund”? If cost permits, I promise to take some of you along!
Personally, I was shocked to see that Canadian dance-punk duo, Death From Above 1979 will be reuniting to play the event on closing night. Since their split to work on solo projects in 2006, I have dreamed of seeing Sebastian Grainger, now of Sebastian Grainger and the Mountains, and Jesse Keeler, now of MSTRKRFT, join forces again. I'm going to start working on that fund.
Here's a little Strokes to get you in the Coachella mood:
