This year’s Coachella Festival will be getting a heavy dose of rock with AC/DC just announced as one of the fest’s three headlining acts.
Unveiled via Coachella’s Twitter page, AC/DC will be headlining the first nights (April 10th and 17th) of Coachella’s two weekend runs. The other two nights of the festival will be headlined by Jack White and Drake. Other classic rock acts on the bill include Steely Dan, who are playing on the same night as AC/DC.
