Over the years, the festival has featured rappers like The Beastie Boys, Gangstarr, Souls of Mischief, Living Legends, Pharoah Monch and others.

“I want people who go to Coachella to look back and say the years they've gone to Coachella they've seen the freshest up-and-coming artists and music history all at the same time,” Tollett said.

Other acts slated to appear during the Coachellla music festival include The Killers and The Cure.

Rappers People Under The Stairs (April 17), Peanut Butter Wolf (April 17) and troubled singer Amy Winehouse, who will appear April 18.
