Jay-Z, Muse to Headline Coachella

Jay-Z will bring his "Empire State of Mind" to the West Coast for Coachella this year.

The Brooklyn-born rapper will headline the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, which kicks off on April 16 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, Calif. -- the same grounds that Coachella debuted in 1999.

The festival, which features an eclectic line-up of genres including, alternative rock, hip-hop and electronic music, will be surrounded by colorful and creative sculptural art.

Attendees can camp in cars, RV's and traditional tent-camping and for the first time there will be in-and-out priviledges to the festival as well (After Woodstock 99's fires and riots, Coachella banned on-site camping until 2000).

Rock acts Muse and Gorillaz are set to headline on April 17 and 18, respectively. The three-day festival - with more than 130 acts also includes Thom Yorke, David Guetta, MGMT, Phoenix, Vampire Weekend and Wale.

Three-day weekend passes are priced at $269, plus surcharges. Tickets go on sale Friday.
