Summary Other notables include US folk rock guitarist-vocalist Father John Misty and singer Lorde
LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Pop queen Beyonce, rapper Kendrick Lamar and British rock group Radiohead will headline this year s edition of the Coachella music festival in April, organizers said Tuesday.
The indie camp-out, which has been getting an increasingly eclectic line-up, will also feature performances from British indie pop band the xx, US folktronica outfit Bon Iver and French house music duo Justice.
Other notables include US folk rock guitarist-vocalist Father John Misty and New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde, who shared on Facebook in November that she was working on a follow-up album to 2013 Global hit "Pure Heroine."
Radiohead, who have been nominated for two Grammys for 2016 s "A Moon Shaped Pool," have headlined the festival twice before, while Lamar showed up during Ice Cube s set last year.
Beyonce hasn t performed a solo set at Coachella but performed with sister Solange in 2014 and was a surprise guest during husband Jay-Z headlining set in 2010.
Coachella offers the same line-up on two consecutive weekends -- April 14-16 and April 21-23 -- in the desert outside Indio, around two hours east of Los Angeles.
The Friday line-up for California s leading music festival appears aimed at the traditional indie crowd, with Radiohead, the xx and Father John Misty -- alias Fleet Foxes drummer Joshua Tillman -- on the bill.
Beyonce headlines the Saturday events, while Lamar tops the bill both Sundays.
The music press has been awash with rumors of a Daft Punk reunion, and while the French electronica duo appear nowhere on the lineup, Coachella is known for its surprise appearances.
Passes -- starting at $399 for three-day general admission -- will go on sale Wednesday at 11:00 am Pacific time (1900 GMT) on the Coachella official website.
