In what is quickly becoming the Big Momma's House of all indie-rock festivals, Wilco and The Flaming Lips have been added to the lineup for this year's Coachella Festival in Indio, CA alongside such recent additions as ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, My Morning Jacket, Broken Social Scene, !!!, Dizzee Rascal, LCD Soundsystem, the Sleepy Jackson, Prefuse 73, (International) Noise Conspiracy, Air, and of course previously announced headliners The Pixies, Radiohead, Kraftwerk, and The Cure.

According to a post on the official Coachella message board, Stereolab, PJ Harvey, Bright Eyes, Death Cab for Cutie, The Black Keys, Sage Francis, Basement Jaxx, Sparta, Electric 6, Thursday, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are among the other acts confirmed for the festival, but undecided on a specific date. As previously reported, this year's Coachella festival is scheduled for the weekend of May 1st and 2nd in Indio, CA. An 'official' lineup with dates and headliners has yet to be posted on the festival's official site.

The Streets and Weezer are among the other acts strongly rumored to be among the many, many groups playing 20- and 30-minute sets under the desert skies. Of course, tickets are a whoppin' $75 bucks per day (or $140 for a two-day pass) and Ticketmaster reserves the right to take an enormous, ass-sized bite on top of that. This year, Coachella is also requesting donations of $1 per ticket to the Indio Youth Task Force (a Coachella Valley youth assistance program), Musicians' Assistance Program (dedicated to providing treatment for musicians with drug addictions), or the Silverlake Conservancy of Music (a community music center, founded by the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea, which assists Los Angeles-area children and adults with low-cost music lessons, instrument rentals, etc.)
