Check out our preview (go HERE and HERE for our Day 1 and Day 2 analysis, respectively) of the acts we're souped for on the final day of Coachella 2012. MORE>>




In a sense, the third and final day of Coachella is the trickiest for both the schedulers and the festival-goers themselves. With two straight days of desert heat, nonstop music, killer parties, and whatever, um, extracurricular activities you may be getting into under the belt, it may feel like a challenge to maintain a third full of day of music. But Goldenvoice isn't exactly going easy on us with the Day 3 lineup this year, having put together a collection of highly energetic, much anticipated acts that will challenge you to get your weight up for one last day and make the most of your time in the desert.

Holy crap, you guys, Coachella is one day closer than it was yesterday!

The Coachella 2012 line up has made it's official announcement, and we're pretty stoked on practically every single act that was picked. Take a closer look at who will be there Day One. MORE>>




The blogosphere and social media platforms collectively took a giant shidoobee in their cyber panties yesterday afternoon at the announcement of the highly speculated Coachella 2012 lineup. Would the fact that this year's festival expanding to two consecutive weekends featuring the same lineup and set schedule preclude certain artists from being able to play? I guess we'll never know, but it doesn't seem to have thrown too much of a wrench in getting dope musical acts on the bill, even though Daft Punk and David Bowie are once again absent from the list (Goldenvoice, how many times do I have to ask you to make that happen?).

Goldenvoice dropped a major bomb this afternoon known as the OFFICIAL Coachella 2012 lineup. Check it. Worship it. Memorize it. And, as we had presumed, that "leaked" one we analyzed was clearly not it at all, and now we can stop the insane guessing game with the official bill of artists here for all to see. The best part of it all, Radiohead is headlining! MORE>>
Everyone stop eating, time to start watching your Coachella figures! This one is the real deal. Legit. Goldenvoice dropped the official bomb this afternoon known as the Coachella 2012 lineup. Check it. As we had presumed, that "leaked" one we analyzed was clearly not at all, and now we can stop the insanity (you hear me, boardies?) with the official bill of artists here for all to see.
