Coachella Festival 2012


Details have emerged of this year's Coachella fesival in California, with some of France's biggest acts on the bill of the festival that is considered by many to be the USA's equivalent of Glastonbury.

While The Black Keys, Radiohead and Snoop Dog and Dr Dre are headlining, acts like Justice and David Guetta are high on the list of star attractions.

Also on the bill are M83 and Martin Solveig. Dragonette, who he has worked with on some of his biggest singles, are also playing as is their fellow Canadian Feist.

Pulp, Florence + the Machine, Arctic Monkeys, Noel Gallagher and Swedish House Mafia are among those on the list. Last year 190 acts played at the festival.

The event in held in the desert near Palm Springs in California, and takes place over two weekends, 13- 15 April and 20- 22 April.

While playing a festival is not news for most bands, playing at a festival that will be probably one of the most influential showcase for a North American market can only be a good thing for some of the most significant Francophone acts around.
