Coachella 2018 dates announced

Beyoncé officially has her first tour dates for 2018 set: Coachella just announced its festival dates for next year. The two-weekend music and arts festival will take place from Friday, April 13, through Sunday, April 15, and Friday April 20 through Sunday, April 22, respectively.

'Queen B' was originally a 2017 Coachella headliner, but after announcing that she's pregnant with twins in February, she had to cancel her appearance, despite delivering a show-stopping performance at the Grammys. To make up for her unexpected cancellation, Beyoncé       signed on as a headliner for 2018.

Because of Beyoncé's move, fans who plan to attend next year's fest already know one headliner they'll get to see, which isn't typically the case with Coachella. Even with lineups being announced long after tickets go on sale, passes sell out at a rapid pace -- so with someone like Beyoncé confirmed for the bill, they will probably vanish fast.

Advance tickets for Coachella 2018 will be available starting today.

Coachella, officially the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, is held annually at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, and is one of the biggest music festivals in the world. The lineup of the festival remains identical for the two weekends. Since its inception in 1999, Coachalla has hosted some of the biggest stars of world music, and in the last four years has had a daily average attendance in excess of 90.000.
