Goldenvoice, the promoters behind Coachella and the recently-announced All Points West Music & Arts Festival, revealed the former's lineup at a press conference in Mexico City last night.

Tickets go on sale this Friday, January 25, at 10 a.m. PST via www.ticketmaster.com and TicketMaster's charge-by-phone line (213) 480-3232. Prices sans service fees are $269 for a 3-day ticket or $90 per day, with camping in incredibly hot conditions going for $55 per person.

As for All Points West, Goldenvoice has solidified its dates (August 8-10) and location (Liberty State Park in New Jersey). More details will be confirmed in the coming weeks. For now, check out www.apwfestival.com for scintillating updates.
