LOS ANGELES — British rockers Blur and The Stone Roses will be joining French indie-rock band Phoenix and Red Hot Chili Peppers to headline this year's three-day Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, organizers said on Thursday. The annual music festival, set for two consecutive weekends in April, has become one of the largest US music festivals, attracting more than 80,000 people to the desert town of Indio, California. After featuring electronic music DJs such as Tiesto, Swedish House Mafia, Afrojack and David Guetta among the top-billed acts last year, this year's Coachella sees the music festival return to its rock roots. The festival will take place on the weekends of April 12-14 and 19-21, with the same line-up both weekends. Blur and The Stone Roses, who recently reunited after a long hiatus, will headline Friday. Phoenix, which has a new album coming out this spring, will take Saturday's primetime spot. — Reuters
