"Rage, Bjork, Arcade Fire to Play Coachella
Also: Interpol, Decemberists, Arctic Monkeys, Sonic Youth, Air, Roots


OK folks, stay calm. CALM LIKE A BOMB that is, because the only rap-rock band we actually remember (somewhat) fondly is back. That's right, as reported by the Los Angeles Times and confirmed by the festival's organizers, Rage Against the Machine will come out of retirement to play the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, taking place April 27-29 at Empire Polo Field in Indio, California.

Rage will headline the festival's final night, April 29, while Björk will headline on Friday, April 27 and the Red Hot Chili Peppers on Saturday, April 28. (Ugh Why do the Red Hot Chili Peppers always have to come around and ruin these sorts of things?)

Other awesome artists confirmed to play Coachella: the Arcade Fire, Interpol, Willie Nelson, the Roots, Manu Chao, the Decemberists, Arctic Monkeys, Sonic Youth, and Air. Other debatably awesome artists confirmed to play Coachella: Crowded House, Tiësto, and Kings of Leon.

And although the festival hasn't officially announced it yet, !!!, LCD Soundsystem, and Lupe Fiasco are also playing Coachella, as we've gathered from previous news stories."

Chris Cornell is a pretty good singer and the other three guys are an amazing band... but man are they holding eachother back. I think the concert will show everyone this, including the band.

This RATM thing sounds great! I bought all Audioslave CDs, I like them very much (I could not live without morello), but RAGE... man it's FANTASTIC... you can find news about the coachella gigs on theprp.com or ratm.com

The official lineup for Coachella 2007 can now be found at the official site
www.coachella.com

I hope Rage tours more, I'm saving money for another trip in a year so cant make it to California.

Saw Ratm Live in 1996 and can still remember they rocked harder then The Prodigy :P Wasn't in the pit... coz I was 12 lol.... but that pit must be one of the worst ever!

Also seeing Manu Chao and Bjork.... kinda surprised they still tour and/ or make music =)
