The line-up for the 2016 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has been announced, and among the artists performing are The Arcs, St Germain, and Mbongwana Star. Coachella is held at the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, California, and will take place over two weekends, April 15–17 and April 22–24, with The Arcs performing each Saturday, April 16 and 23, and St Germain and Mbongwana Star performing each Friday, April 15 and 22. Passes will go on sale tomorrow, January 6, at 11 AM PST, on coachella.com.

The Arcs—Dan Auerbach, Leon Michels, Richard Swift, Homer Steinweiss, and Nick Movshon—released their debut album, Yours, Dreamily, in September on Nonesuch Records and made several Best of the Year lists, including those of the Boston Globe ("keeps toes tapping the ground with this captivating collection of garage rock and soul"), Independent on Sunday, NPR's World Cafe, Rolling Stone, Sun ("psychedelic tour-de-force"), and NPR Listeners.

St Germain, whose albums Boulevard and Tourist originated a genre of French electronic music, returned with his first album in 15 years in October, and it was "well worth the wait," said the Independent. NPR Music included the album track "Sittin' Here" among its Favorite Songs of 2015. The second Coachella weekend also closes out St Germain's first North American tour in all those years, which begins at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC, on March 31.

Congolese seven-piece band Mbongwana Star released its debut full-length album, From Kinshasa, on World Circuit Records, distributed in the US, in May. It made several Best of the Year lists as well, including the Independent ("infectious, polyrhythmic space-rock ... a triumph of imagination"), MOJO, NPR Music ("don't hesitate to hitch your wagon to Mbongwana Star"), Q, SPIN, and Uncut.
