The Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival announced the 2010 line-up this year and it isn’t too bad. Granted, anything short of a Smiths reunion is underwhelming to the apathetic masses, but overall, this youth-and-indie focused oasis in Indio looks as strong as in recent years. After a few years of “established” headliners, the show will feature headline performances from younger acts including Gorillaz, Muse, Jay-Z, Thom Yorke, MGMT, Hot Chip, Spoon, Vampire Weekend and LCD Soundsystem at the very top of the bill for the three-day concert that begins April 16 at the Empire Polo Field in Indio.

This year, while there will be “nostalgia acts”, among them Woodstock icon Sly and the Family Stone, 1980s alt-rock outfit Echo and the Bunnymen and the 80s college-rock outfit Pavement, they will not be leading the bill like Paul McCartney, Prince and Roger Waters have in recent editions of the show.
