Prince is set to headline the second night of Coachella! It's official and true!
Coachella just got a royal infusion of talent: Prince is coming 2 the desert.
After weeks of rumors, promoters of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival announced today that they have indeed inked a deal that will add Prince to the lineup of the massive three-day show in Indio, which kicks off April 25.
The Purple One, who will perform April 26, brings major star power to a lineup that some fans had criticized as a lower-wattage affair than in years past. The lineup for this year includes Roger Waters, Jack Johnson, Portishead, the Raconteurs, the Verve, Death Cab for Cutie, Love and Rockets and Kraftwerk.
The Grammy Award winner behind such classics as “Purple Rain,” “When Doves Cry,” “1999” and “Raspberry Beret” adds to Coachella’s history of off-the-wall bookings, such as the decision to bring Madonna to the festival’s dance tent in 2006 and Pink Floyd auteur Waters to the main stage this year.
The 49-year-old musical chameleon was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, the same year he released “Musicology,” a resurgent album in his long and influential career. He followed that up with “3121,” the first album of his to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
