Faith restored: Coachella 2010 lineup announced

Fucking A. Ask and ye shall receive, eh? (Well, it's not Denver, but close enough.) Just glimpsed the lineup for this year's Coachella. As far as headliners go, you've got your Jay-Z and your LCD Soundsystem and, uh, let's see here, Thom Yorke and ... yada, yada, yada. Whatever, dude...

Fucking A. Ask and ye shall receive, eh? (Well, it's not Denver, but close enough.) Just glimpsed the lineup for this year's Coachella. As far as headliners go, you've got your Jay-Z and your LCD Soundsystem and, uh, let's see here, Thom Yorke and ... yada, yada, yada. Whatever, dude. Five words: Faith No More and Pavement. Enough said.

As you've probably gathered by now we're slightly overjoyed at the moment and trying to decide which bills will go unpaid in the immediate future to make this shit happen. Not to mention, we're always stoked when we have a reason to pull out this vintage clip in which Mr. Mike Patton rocks a Rockies lid while getting down on our favorite Commodores tune. Oh and speaking of local love, Pretty Lights is also on the bill. See the full lineup after the jump.
