Coachella Reviews, Interviews & More

After all the fuss and denial it turns out that, Kanye West is releasing an album on June 18. He also gave the thing a name. We have the details on that below. Also, She & Him released a music video for "I Could've Been Your Girl." And Coachella has announced its dates for next year. All that and more below.

Even though everyone (or just about everyone) in America doesn't appear to know who the The Stone Roses are, they're an iconic band in their home country – the U.K. Their reunion meant a lot to the British, especially to documentary filmmaker Shane Meadows (This Is England), who decided to make the four-piece band the main focus of his new film...

Too cheap to fork over a few hundred bucks to spend this weekend or next in Indio, California for the Coachella music festival?  Live too far away?  Just don’t feel like spending the weekend with hipsters and adenoidal bros?  Well, fret no longer, as you can stream the music festival directly on YouTube.

Perhaps to steal some of the impending thunder of Coachella 2013, a “leaked” potential lineup for Lollapalooza 2013 has slipped onto the internet, and it features such heavy hitters as the reunited Nine Inch Nails, The Cure, and Mumford & Sons to headline.  We’ve got the full list of reported performers below.

And just like that, Lou Reed has pulled out of Coachella. The rock legend has cancelled his appearance at the notable California desert festival. He has also bowed out of a number of West Coast tour dates, some of which he was expected to play in between the April 12 and 19 weekends.

It's almost that time of the year again, when hipsters and some ravers pack their bags and head to the desert for a three-day weekend filled with tons of music and celebrity sightings. Coachella is coming up, and the lineup has finally been revealed. Despite the rumors and misleading hints, The Rolling Stones will not be performing at the festival. The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blur, the...

Fans of breathy and electro synth-pop, the reunion you’ve waited 10 long years for has come—assuming you haven’t finally outgrown breathy and electro synth-pop like everyone else—as The Postal Service has announced their long-awaited reunion.

Frank Ocean ended 2012 on a high note, but this year hasn't been all that great thus far. He started off 2013 by getting pulled over for speeding and when cops searched his car, they found a small bag of pot. Also, Coachella planners have dropped a big hint that suggests that the Rolling Stones will be performing at the festival. And OutKast will be reuniting on a few hip hop songs by other...

Coachella has long realized how super good-looking and attractive it is, sort-of like that snobby cheerleader at your old high school, and has decided that two weekends in Indio ain't enough. This December the California festival will take over the Atlantic ocean too. Coachella organizers announced yesterday, via Twitter, the first S.S. Coachella cruise. There's an impressive...

This week, Skrillex signed on to score Harmony Korine's upcoming film Spring Breakers – you know, the one with James Franco looking like a crazy, skinny gangster. Goldenvoice president Paul Tollet announced that the Coachella Music and Arts Festival might soon be moving out of Indio. And comedienne (and all-around...

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?  Well, now you don’t have to worry about missing the left coast’s biggest music fest—you can know stream the festival live on YouTube.  Interested?  Watch the festival live after the jump!

It's two days before Coachella (Weekend #1) and just now we're getting the set times. That's Coachella for you, folks. Below we have the complete set times for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Find out who'll be playing (and you'll be missing) while you're waiting for Radiohead to hit the stage. Let the conflicts begin!

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.  And for those who can’t recall, this is the first year in which the festival will be repeated for a second weekend.  It all goes down on April 13-15 and April 20-22.  Check out the complete lineup below and let us know: does this rock, or is the...

Everyone's abuzz with their opinions on the rumored list of musicians and bands playing Coachella in 2012, the first year of which to hold the event two weekends in a row (April 13th-15th for Weekend 1 and Aprl 20th-22nd for Weekend 2). Although we're not sure about the source of the leaked list (we did emphasize rumored, right?), it's always possible that the leaked...
