Coachella festival has announced its line-up for 2016 and, as expected, a Guns N’ Roses reunion will be the main fixture.

The band will headline on Saturday night now that Axl Rose and Slash have buried the hatchet while LCD Soundsystem will take charge of the Friday and Calvin Harris the Sunday.

Ellie Golding, Sufjan Stevens, Jack U, A$AP Rocky, Churches, Sia, Major Lazer and Beach House are among the acts taking main support slots, in what is arguably not the strongest line-up the Indio, California-based festival has ever seen.

The weekend of music will take place at Empire Polo Grounds between 15 - 17 April and 22 - 24 April, with passes going on sale on 6 January at 11am PST.

Other acts confirmed include Rae Sremmurd, Savages, Last Shadow Puppets, Joey Bada$$, Grimes, Courtney Barnett, Run the Jewels, Vince Staples, Cold War Kids, Silversun Pickups, Deerhunter, SOPHIE and Death Grips.
