Muse

The 2010 version of your favorite non-Halloween music festival in Indio, CA was announced today.  As per usual it looks pretty damn awesome.  In fact Friday happens to feature bands that made 4 of my favorite albums of 2009, Them Crooked Vultures, Grizzly Bear, Passion Pit, and The Avett Brothers.  Lots of fun for everyone, although aside from Muse I could do with some different headliners.  No offense to the Jay-Z contingent but he doesn't really get me as excited as last year's Friday headliner, Sir Paul McCartney.

This year sees the festival add car camping as well as ins and out privileges.  Hooray partying in your campsite for cheap!  Go America!

Tickets for the festival go on sale Friday, January 22 at 10:00 AM. Three-day weekend passes are $269.00, plus fees and such.  More details on layaway, camping options and up-to-the minute information, can be found at www.coachella.com.  If you like seeing things in list form and the poster isn't doing it for you, the day by day artist schedule is after the jump.
