Jack Johnson, My Morning Jacket, Kraftwerk and Portishead will be among the headline acts at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in California, when the eventâs ninth edition takes place in California. Tickets for the festival, from April 25 to 27, will cost $269 as well as fees for all three days; a single dayâs ticket will cost $90, according to the details released by Coachellaâs organizers, Goldenvoice and AEG. The organizers also said they were planning another three-day event, All Points West, at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, from Aug. 8 to 10. That lineup, not yet announced, is expected to include Radiohead and Mr. Johnson. Paul Tollett, promoter of Goldenvoice, said that unlike Coachella, which takes place on a polo field in the desert about two hours east of Los Angeles, the All Points West will âhave its own personality,â incorporating the areaâs urban setting and local art scene. Several of this yearâs Coachella headliners will be touring in connection with new releases. Portishead, for example, is expected to release its first album in about a decade internationally in April. âTheyâve been one of the most requested bands to play Coachellaâ among fans, Mr. Tollett said. âTalent is still king.â.
