DETROIT – Currently the most critically acclaimed music festival in the U.S., The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California unites groundbreaking recording artists from all genres of music in one of the West Coast's most scenic locations. Coachella has been hailed as "The Best American Festival" by Rolling Stone, and "probably the best festival in the world" by England's NME. The 2006 festival, for example, just announced that Madonna would join the already impressive line up. Others scheduled for the festival, which runs April 29-30, include Daft Punk and Franz Ferdinand alongside lesser-known acts like Deerhoof and Editors.
If you haven't ever been to the festival, you can at least experience it on the silver screen thanks to "Coachella," a film by Drew Thomas. The film features two-hours of highlights from the previous six years of the Coachella Festival, all captured on 35mm and digital sound. "Coachella" includes performances by The Arcade Fire, Belle & Sebastian, Bjork, Crystal Method, The Flaming Lips, Iggy & The Stooges, The Mars Volta, Morrissey, Oasis, Pixies, The Polyphonic Spree, Prodigy, Radiohead, The White Stripes and more.
