The annual two-weekend Coachella Festival is one of the largest music festivals in the United States, drawing fans to Indio, California, to enjoy music by top artists of all genres.

This yearโ€™s Coachella is particularly notable because it will be the first time Guns Nโ€™ Roses founding members Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan reunite on stage since their separation in the โ€˜90s. The group will be headlining both Saturdays, April 16 and April 23.

This yearโ€™s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival will be held April 15-17 and April 22-24.
