UPDATED:
The indie-rock kids of Coachella are in store for a classic-rock moment this April: Roger Waters of Pink Floyd will re-create the band’s trippy 1973 masterpiece “Dark Side of the Moon” on the festival’s main stage, which also will feature the Raconteurs, the Verve, Jack Johnson, Kraftwerk and a reunion of Portishead.
The ninth edition of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival will take over the Empire Polo Field outside the dusty town of Indio from April 25 through 27. The 125-act lineup was announced Monday afternoon at a press conference in Mexico City with Death Cab for Cutie, My Morning Jacket, Love and Rockets, and Justice among the names on the bill along with M.I.A., the Breeders, Rilo Kiley, Sasha & Digweed, Café Tacuba and Fatboy Slim. Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday.
The Verve, Portishead and The Breeders are amongst the first batch of names confirmed for the Coachella Festival.
Taking place from April 25-27 at the Empire Polo Field, Indio, California, the music and arts festival also boasts performances from the likes of Jack Johnson, Rilo Kiley and My Morning Jacket, according to the LA Times.
However, fellow head-trippers of the Radio/In Rainbows variety, won't be playing the West Coast fest, as had been speculated. It seems they will reserve their headlining slot for the East Coast edition of Coachella that's currently in the works. We'll post more line-up details once they're officially announced on Monday.
Portishead is confirmed to headline this year's Coachella festival on Saturday night, according to a high-level source. The same source unequivocally denied rumors that Radiohead would appear at Coachella, but did confirm that the group would play the East Coast festival being planned by Coachella promoters Goldenvoice/AEG Live . The full Coachella line-up will be announced this Monday.

One of the most expected news for music fans around America has been released yesterday in Mexico, where the Coachella Festival lineup was announced.
The line-up includes the comeback of The Verve and Portishead, the awesome Dark Side of the Moon by Roger Waters, former Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk and several djs and indie bands from all over the world.. from the classic mexican band Cafe Tacuba to the avant-garde french duo Justice.
The surprising news are that the organizers will make a Coachella festival for the East coast in the Liberty State Park, NJ.
The ALL POINTS WEST MUSIC & ARTS FESTIVAL will be held on august 8-10, and there is a strong rumor that the main band will be Radiohead.
They expect to receive aprox. 30,000 each day… with tickets around the 100 dollars per day, this music festival industry is moving each year “harder, better, faster, stronger.”
