Coachella 2013


Any minute now, Coachella, music's biggest annual desert mosh pits, will announce its much-anticipated lineup for 2013 and the list is a doozy. The music festival -- where more and more celebs tend to flock as spectators -- spans two weekends in April and will feature acts as diverse as indie darlings the Lumineers, Phoenix and Vampire Weekend, as well as classic recently-reunited acts like the Stone Roses and the Postal Service.

California staples the Red Hot Chili Peppers will also take the stage, along with legendary east coast hip-hop group the Wu-Tang Clan, electronica god Moby, rapper Aesop Rock and indie band Grizzly Bear.

In a nod to the growing electronic music movement, genre mainstays like Pretty Lights, Bassnectar and Benny Benassi will also play sets at the festival.

Rumors are swirling about who else may appear.

Regardless, BackstagePassDirect will have passes for each weekend. You know these are gonna fly outta here, so act quickly and make your requests today.
