The Coachella message board is doing a good job of tracking the upcoming Coachella Music and Arts Festival in Indio. Now's the time that bands begin leaking confirmations, revealing their hands on MySpace, Twitter and Facebook, and basically spilling the beans one way or another. For example, this from Phoenix.
That said, this is not an officially confirmed list. This is a pre-list of sorts, one that looks very very reliable based on the message boards.
Muse
Phoenix
The xx
Devo
Pretty Lights
Zoe
Miike Snow
A Place to Bury Strangers
Big Pink
Craze and Klever
Hockey
Busy P
Corinne Bailey Rae
Bassnectar
Mayer Hawthorne
Aeroplane
El Gran Silencio
As Tall As Lions
Kevin Devine
Caravan Palace
