Every year, thousands of music fans gather in California for one of the most well-known music festivals in the United States -- Coachella. With three months remaining until the event kicks off, Coachella's organizers finally announced the lineup on Thursday on Twitter.
Coachella will take place on the weekends of April 12-14 and April 19-21 and feature more than 160 artists in genres all across the spectrum. Here's who's playing:
On both Fridays, Coachella attendees will be treated to Blur, the Stone Roses, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Modest Mouse, Lou Reed, Jurassic 5, Grinderman, Bassnectar, Dog Blood, How to Destroy Angels, Passion Pit, Tegan and Sara, Band of Horses, Beach House Metric, Local Natives, Infected Mushroom, and quite a few more.
Saturday will be headlined by Phoenix, followed by XX, the Postal Service, Sigur Ros, New Order, Hot Chip, Grizzly Bear, Knife Party, Benny Benassi, Two Door Cinema Club, Moby, Descendants, Yeasayer, Franz Ferdinand, Violent Femmes, and others.
Sunday, however, will be Coachella's mainstay, headlined by acts such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Vampire Weekend, and the Wu-Tang Clan. They will be joined by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Social Distortion, Pretty Lights, Eric Prydz, the Lumineers, and more.

While Coachella boasts some big names this year, the general consensus seems to be slight disappointment. It was rumored earlier that the Rolling Stones, Daft Punk, and Justin Timberlake could all be making appearances, but don't hold your breath -- Mick Jagger has already dispelled the rumors.
