More legends to reform for Coachella!

Both No Doubt and The Police are also rumoured to play their first reunion shows at the festival. A number of hints have been dropped in 'official channels' relating to the latter, most notably the use of 'Roxanne' as the password for the Coachella Ticketmaster ticket presale.

As we speculated previously, Björk and Red Hot Chili Peppers are now confirmed to top the lineup for the 2007 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, which this year expands from two to three days. Tickets, priced at $249 for a three-day pass, go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday at Ticketmaster. A limited number of one-day tickets, priced at $85 each, will also go on sale at that time.

The April 27-29 festival at the Empire Polo Field in Indio will feature such diverse acts as Arctic Monkeys, Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse, Arcade Fire, Mano Chao, Peaches, Jarvis Cocker, Gogol Bordello and former Tijuana/San Diego singer Julieta Venegas. Other confirmed acts include Air, Sonic Youth, Jose Gonzales, Rufus Wainwright and acid-rock legend Roky Erickson.

At least three of the performers - Willie Nelson, Nickel Creek and Gillian Welch - are also performing at Stagecoach, the two-day country-roots festival that Coachella's producers are staging at the same Indio venue May 5 and 6. Their inclusion at Coachella appears intended to promote the following weekend's festival.
