For its first-ever two-weekend presentation, Coachella has announced its lineup. Let's say it sounds Pitchfork approved.

Black Keys, Radiohead and Dr. Dre with Snoop Dogg are the headliners. Swedish House Mafia, Bon Iver and At the Drive-In receive second billing, according to posters.

Other acts include Arctic Monkeys, M83, Pulp, Cat Power, Rapture, M. Ward, Shins, David Guetta, Andrew Bird, St. Vincent, Dawes, Justice, Florence + the Machine, Beirut, Girl Talk, Hives and DJ Shadow. Jimmy Cliff and Madness are the old-school stars, and the reunions of At the Drive-In and Mazzy Star and the reemergence of Jeff Mangum (of Neutral Milk Hotel) should excite their fan bases.

Dates are April 13-15 and April 20-22 in Indio, Calif. For more info, go to Coachell's Facebook page.
