Coachella Set Times (Finally) Released

At last, the wait is over. The schedule of performance times for the 2012 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival has finally been released, and there are some surprises.

Surprise No. 1: Friday's headlines, The Black Keys, will perform at 9:45 p.m. on the Coachella Stage, the festival's largest outdoor stage. Swedish House Mafia will close the night on the Coachella Stage.

Surprise No. 2: Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg have thus far only announced four guest stars for their festival-closing set Sunday on the Coachella Stage. In a first-person post Dre put up on his web site that was removed late Tuesday, he wrote: "Dr. Dre will perform at the 2012 edition of the annual Indie festival 'Coachella' in the desert. The good doctor will perform with all times friends Snoop Dogg, Daz Dillinger, Warren G & Eminem. Kendrick Lamar will also be here to perform their new single 'The Recipe.' Y'all ready to feel the wrath of the Aftermath ? Let's gooo!!"

Meanwhile, our series of Coachella previews -- including interviews with Coachella mastermind Paul Tollett and former Oasis leader Noel Gallagher, who plays at both Coachella weekends with his new band -- will appear, starting Wednesday, on our web site and in the print edition of UT San Diego. Our live coverage of the Coachella festival, including photo galleries, will run here throughout the weekend.
