There is only one place you should look to be in April, and that’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The festival announced their line-up on Tuesday, featuring some big names. The first day of Coachella 2018 will take place on April 13th featuring The Weeknd as headliners with performances by SZA, Jamiroquai, St. Vincent, the War on Drugs and many more. The same line-up will perform on April 20th.
April 14th and 21st will be headlined by Beyoncé, who was scheduled to perform in 2017 but had to pull out from performing due to her pregnancy. Now she is back stronger than ever and accompanied by other artists’ performances including HAIM, Tyler the Creator, David Byrne, alt-J, Post Malone and Fleet Foxes.
The third and last day of Coachella 2018 (April 15th and 22nd) is reserved for Eminem, who is coming fresh from releasing a new album Revival in December 2017. He will be accompanied by ODESZA, Migos, A Perfect Circle, Cardi B, Miguel and King Krule.

The interesting thing about the artists who are present this year is a lack of big names from rock&roll as well as the absence of popular DJs. There will be sets for lovers of these two genres at Coachella 2018, but not as much as they would hope for.
Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has seen particular success in the past few years. From 2012 to 2017, the festival broke the records for attendance and gross revenues each year. The last edition of the festival in 2017 grossed $114.6 million and was attended by 250,000 people.
