If you’ve heard rumors about the likes of David Bowie, Radiohead and Daft Punk being part of this year’s Coachella Music Festival, don’t buy tickets if you happen to be going because of them. The rumors are just that – nothing but rumors. All three artists have gone on the record that they will not be participating in the events and that they haven’t even been asked to participate.

A source says that “Prince was a late late addition to the line-up. The promoters added him to try and sell more tickets and make up for a less than stellar – in comparison to years past – roster of performers.” And it reportedly cost them. Another source says that “The exact amount Prince is getting paid for his Coachella performance is $4.8 million.”
