Coachella 2016 will take place April 15 – April 17, and again from April 22 – April 24. The line-up is expected to be announced soon but in the mean time, here are 5 acts that are rumoured to be playing:

 

Chic

This one has been pretty widely reported.. We know disco pioneer Nile Rodgers and his band are set to play this years Coachella because he let it slip in a recent interview with the NY Times. He also said to expect the new album, ‘It’s About Time’ very soon!

Lost Frequencies

Knack a respected, Belgian (Flemish) weekly news magazine has reported that Lost Frequencies will play at the festival this year. This is hardly surprising following the prodcuers quick rise to fame this year. His Track ‘Are You With Me’ made him the first Belgian artist to reach the top of the UK pop charts and his new track ‘Reality’ was last weeks ‘Most Played’ track on European radio. We expect the young producer will be doing a great deal of touring in the USA in the next year or so and Coachella seems like the perfect place to start…

Years & Years

London based, indie-electronic band Years & Years have had a huge year with their tracks ‘King’ & ‘Shine’ reaching number 1 and number 2 in the UK respectively. We know the band will be in town, if you take a look at the tour schedule on their website, you will see dates in the Southwest in early April and a nice Coachella sized gap in the middle…

Major Lazer

Diplo was recently interviewed on American radio station, 103.3 AMP Radio. While chatting he revealed that a Major Lazer collab with The Weeknd would be dropping around Coachella. We think there could be a big Major Lazer showcase with plenty of special guests on the way to the valley…

Black Coffee

While it’s not hard to believe that Black Coffee has been booked for Coachella, we can’t really verify the source of the rumour.. A South African celeb gossip website posted an article which said he had been confirmed for Coachella but take it with a pinch of salt as ‘Zalebs‘ is.. a gossip website! We think he would be a great booking. Do you?
