Start dreaming of summer festival season — particularly one spent somewhere in the middle of the California desert, possibly in the company of a handful of your favorite movie stars (and Danny DeVito): the lineup for the Coachella 2012 is here, and for the first time in the event’s 13-year history, organizers will stage two weekends of events, happening April 13-15 and April 20-22. Both editions will feature headlining sets from blues-rockers the Black Keys (Friday), indie elder statesmen Radiohead (Saturday) and hip-hop icons Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg (Sunday).

A full lineup was posted on the festival’s Facebook page Monday, revealing an eclectic bill as any other. Ticketholders can anticipate performances from a variety of reunited acts (Mazzy Star, Pulp, fIREHOSE, At The Drive In, Refused, among others), as well as hyped-up hip-hop and R&B artists (The Weeknd, A$AP Rocky, Azealia Banks, Frank Ocean, Childish Gambino), the usual indie suspects (Feist, The Shins, Beirut, Wild Flag, Florence + The Machine) and every bro’s favorite EDM acts (David Guetta, Swedish House Mafia, Girl Talk, Calvin Harris).

And this year’s new double-weekend format was developed so that more fans would have access to the fun, because as Goldenvoice head and festival organizer Paul Tollett told the L.A. Times, the back-to-back weekends were launched in response to ever-increasing demand for passes. Tickets for the 2011 edition, for example, reportedly sold out one week after the line-up reveal. “We wanted to create access for as many people as possible,” Tollett told the paper, continuing to say: “The thought of this selling out super quick, and the only people who get to go are the people who bought the first minute or bought tickets for more than they sold for, that didn’t seem great to us,” he said. “We didn’t want to go with more people and ruin the experience. We can’t add a midnight show, and we didn’t want to add another city or raise the ticket price. So we decided to add another weekend.”

Information on ticket packages can be found on the Coachella website, with festival passes set to go on sale Friday, Jan. 13 at 10 a.m. An advance pre-sale was offered in June of 2011, obviously long before a lineup was announced. According to the Times, pre-sale figures have not been released.
