Well, after weeks of speculation, the rumors are finally confirmed: both Guns N’ Roses and LCD Soundsystem are reuniting at Coachella 2016. This is in addition to an already overstuffed lineup featuring Ellie Goulding, Jack Γ, Sia, Sufjan Stevens, Disclosure, Beach House, and Rancid. Yes, Rancid!

The big party in the desert will again be taking place over two weekends, April 15-17 and 22-24. Along with the normal genres you would expect covered at a festival like this with the biggest names in hip-hop, indie rock and EDM, the festival also decided to book a few unorthodox artists in Grammy nominees Chris Stapleton and James Bay.
Tickets will go on sale at Coachella’s website on January 6 at 2 p.m. ET (that’s 11 a.m. PT) and already cost entirely too much, but somehow having sunstroke and being broke usually ends up being worth it. Hey, bands like this only reunite once! Right?!
