It's the Coachella Festival in Indio, California this weekend, and the bill has lost Hard-Fi at the last minute, but has gained Mr Kanye West who will play a main stage slot on Saturday. He joins the previously reported storming bill that also includes Madonna, Depeche Mode, Franz Ferdinand, Massive Attack, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Tool, Bloc Party and James Blunt.
Hard-Fi have been forced to pull out of the festival because frontman Richard Archer has been suffering problems with his throat. In a statement Archer told reporters: "I am deeply frustrated by the problem I'm having with my throat. We were so looking forward to hitting the States again at the end of the month, and especially looking forward to playing the Coachella Festival, but unfortunately it's just not possible at this time. We'll be back in June and plan to make up for it".
