Rage Against The Machine, Björk og Red Hot Chili Peppers verða aðalatriðin á Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival 2007 sem haldin verður 27-29 apríl í Indio Calif í Bandaríkjunum.
Þá segja fréttir einnig að hljómsveitin Crowded House muni koma saman fyrir hátíðina og auk þeirra troða upp Arcade Fire, Sonic Youth, Air, the Roots, Willie Nelson, Interpol, Manu Chao og Fountains Of Wayne.
Rage Against The Machine tróðu upp á hátíðinni árið 1999 en siðan hætti söngvarinn Zack De La Rocha og hinir í sveitinni urðu að Audioslave ásamt Chris Cornell. Talað er um þetta verði einu tónleikar Rage í gömlu góðu myndinni þannig að víst má teljast að fjöldi manna mun sækja tónleikana.

Rage, Bjork, Arcade Fire to Play Coachella
Also: Interpol, Decemberists, Arctic Monkeys, Sonic Youth, Air, Roots
OK folks, stay calm. CALM LIKE A BOMB that is, because the only rap-rock band we actually remember (somewhat) fondly is back. That's right, as reported by the Los Angeles Times and confirmed by the festival's organizers, Rage Against the Machine will come out of retirement to play the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, taking place April 27-29 at Empire Polo Field in Indio, California.
Rage will headline the festival's final night, April 29, while Björk will headline on Friday, April 27 and the Red Hot Chili Peppers on Saturday, April 28. (Ugh Why do the Red Hot Chili Peppers always have to come around and ruin these sorts of things?)
Other awesome artists confirmed to play Coachella: the Arcade Fire, Interpol, Willie Nelson, the Roots, Manu Chao, the Decemberists, Arctic Monkeys, Sonic Youth, and Air. Other debatably awesome artists confirmed to play Coachella: Crowded House, Tiësto, and Kings of Leon.
And although the festival hasn't officially announced it yet, !!!, LCD Soundsystem, and Lupe Fiasco are also playing Coachella, as we've gathered from previous news stories.
