Pitchfork

Looks like it will be Confessions on a Desert Floor this spring, as Pitchfork has just been informed that Madonna will perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 30.

Madonna, meet Coachella. Coachella, meet Madonna. Has a nice Uma/Oprah ring to it, don't it?

Her Highness will rock the "Dance Tent" on the Indio, California fest's second day, and it won't be just another chintzy DJ/vocal set. We're talking a full-on extravaganza with dancers, costumes, lights, unicorns, spaceships, and rainbows (unicorns, spaceships, and rainbows not guaranteed).

This whole thing might be some lame attempt at ingratiating Madonna to the indie/hipster demographic, but it's not like she needs any help: we've all pretty much agreed that "Hung Up" rules (it came it at number 26 on our Top Singles of 2005 list, after all). And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited about seeing Madonna play a tent in the desert.

As previously reported, Coachella will feature every cool band on the planet, as well as Matisyahu and She Wants Revenge.
