Lineups Announced for Coachella, Bonnaroo

(andPOP) - The moment music fans have been waiting for has arrived. Lineups for North America's two largest music festivals were announced this week, with big names in store for both Coachella and Bonnaroo.

Headlining the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival this year in Indio, Calif. is '80s act Depeche Mode, currently making a U.S. comeback after several years off the charts.

The band is an appropriate choice for the two-day festival, known for its edgy, hipster appeal. Depeche Mode are slotted in to open on Saturday, April 29 while rockers Tool will close out on Sunday. It will be Tool's first performance in the U.S. since 2002.

More than 80 bands will take to Empire Polo Fields over the weekend, including Franz Ferdinand, Modest Mouse, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, James Blunt, Damian Jr. Gong Marley, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Scissor Sisters, Common, and Bloc Party.

Tickets for the event, which also features art installations, go on sale Feb. 4 at noon PST, for $85 a day or $165 for a two-day pass. On-site camping passes will also be available for purchase through Ticketmaster.

Meanwhile, the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, set for June 16-18 in Manchester, Tenn. is putting the spotlight on Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and UK band Radiohead.

The event will mark Radiohead's only U.S. summer festival appearance. Bonnaroo promoter Ashley Capps of A.C. Entertainment told the Tennessean on Tuesday, "We're very excited to have Radiohead be a part of the festival this year--we've been in discussions with them literally for two and a half years."

Also playing at the fest are Phil Lesh & Friends, Beck, Bonnie Raitt, Death Cab for Cutie, Bright Eyes, The Neville Brothers, and Buddy Guy, just to name a few.

This year's lineup marks a shift for Bonnaroo from the jam bands they were known for towards more mainstream and indie rock acts. "From the beginning we've always tried to reflect people's music collections," said Jonathan Mayers, president of Superfly Presents, co-promoters with A.C. Entertainment.

"People have diverse musical tastes and that's what we're trying to showcase with our programing. While we're not trying to get too far away from our core, Bonnaroo has been a great platform to introduce different music to our fans."

Mayers added that more bands would be announced as the event draws closer. Meanwhile, fans will be able to snag tickets beginning Saturday, Feb. 11 at 10 a.m. EST through Bonaroo.com.
