Once again, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is back down south in Indio, and it is better than ever.

Set to take place over three days from April 16-18, the biggest music festival in California is headlined by New York rapper Jay-Z, English alt-rock band Muse, and virtual band Gorillaz.

Some Coachella first-timers to look out for are Jack White's new project the Dead Weather, Thom Yorke and his new backing band of the Red Hot Chili Pepper's Flea and Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, and hard rock super-group Them Crooked Vultures, which features Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin and Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters.

Others to look out for during the $269 festival include Vampire Weekend, Passion Pit, Tiesto, Phoenix and Miike Snow.
