Well, it’s only been a month since the launch of Coachella 2012, but at this point, the Indio, California-based three-day music festival is now a juggernaut-which explains why festival organizers Goldenvoice have already announced the details of Coachella 2013. Read about the details (and how to score tickets this week) after the jump.
One of the biggest splashes made over the past two weekends of the 2012 Coachella music festival was the appearance of the Tupac Shakur hologram, which allowed Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg to perform with the deceased rapper. This lead to rampant speculation that Tupac would be going on tour, something that Dr. Dre has quickly denied… then said “we’ll see.”
Coachella is a time and place for all sorts of desert wackiness to go down—especially with Snoop Dogg in attendance (just check out his smoke-able book that was released at the fest). That said, one moment during the headlining Dr. Dre and Snoop performance on Sunday night crossed them realm from wacky and dovetailed into just plain strange, if not tacky and/or kind of offensive.
This week President Obama was asked a very important question, “Kanye or Jay-Z?” We’ve got the answer to that question below. Also, Frances Bean Cobain reacted to her mother’s (Courtney Love) ranting tweets about her and Dave Grohl canoodling in the back of car. All that and more, below.
Are you one of the thousands who couldn’t make it out to Coachella this year? Or maybe you simply wanted to avoid the crowds, bros, hipsters, parking, traffic and rain/mud?

Rapper Snoop Dogg plans to make his contribution to the canon of Western literature by releasing Rolling Words: A Smokable Songbook, a collection of his “classic” lyrics and “signature phrases”… and the entire thing will be printed on smoking papers. Because of course it is.
This week Adam Levine announced the official release date for his fragrance ’222 by Adam Levine’ (note: Levine once said that this act was ‘punishable by death’); Justin Bieber might be facing a lawsuit for a Twitter prank he did earlier this month; and The Temper Trap announced their North American tour kick off date and place. All that and more below.
Well, live music fans, that time of year has come around again—the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has announced its 2012 lineup.
