The Coachella Vally Music and Arts Festival announced the 2013 lineup late this past week. This year’s major headlining hip-hop group is the Wu-Tang Clan, who will play the festival, which takes place over the course of two consecutive weekends.
In addition to Wu Tang Clan, rappers like 2 Chainz, Aesop Rock, Jurassic 5 and Earl Sweatshirt will grace this year’s festival. The festival starts on April 12-14 and repeats on from April 19-21.
The 2013 Coachella Music Festival is heavy on indie rock this year, with acts like Blur, Stone Roses, Grizzly Bear, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Postal Service, Vampire Weekend, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs with headlining slots.
According to Variety, last year’s festival, which included the debut of a Tupac hologram, grossed over $47 million dollars.
Passes for both weekends go on sale Jan. 29 at Coachella’s website.
