In case you missed it last night, Coachella has announced its lineup for this year’s festival, and aside from the headliners, the festival nailed the nostalgia factor this year, causing a lot of buzz around the reunions of At the Drive In, Refused, and Mazzy Star.

Some other more reclusive acts are also cause for novelty-excitement; Neutral Milk Hotel mastermind Jeff Mangum, Pulp, Godspeed You! Black Emperor (who reunited just long enough ago to not make their name especially head-explosiony). A rumour has also sprung up that Black Sabbath were supposed to headline one of the days, but due to Tony Iommi’s cancer diagnosis, they dropped out last minute, causing either Black Keys or Dre. and Snoop to take over.

We could list off all the names, or you could have a look at the big poster above! Coachella takes place over two weekends this year—April 13, 14, and 15, then again on the 20, 21, and 22. Whatever is left of the $285 weekend passes (they went on sale for a week in June 2011, before anyone was even announced) go on sale at Coachella.com on Friday, 1:00 p.m. EST.
