The annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is expanding from two to three days this year, and they're already proving that they have enough heavy hitters to fill an extra day. Organizers have confirmed that Rage Against the Machine will be reuniting possibly for one night only to headline the final night of the festival (Sunday, April 29th) in Indio, California. On tap to close out the other nights: Bjork (Friday) and the Red Hot Chili Peppers (Saturday).
Other bands set to rock the desert include Arctic Monkeys, The Roots, Kings of Leon, The Arcade Fire, Interpol, The Decemberists, Air, Sonic Youth, and Mr. Willie Nelson.
Rage Against the Machine have not performed together since 2000; frontman Zach de la Rocha mostly faded from the public eye thereafter while the other three members formed the decidedly less political Audioslave alongside singer Chris Cornell. Rage co-headlined the inaugural Coachella with Tool in 1999.
