The dates and bands for the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival have been announced! The three-day affair will be held on April 16 to April 18 with the likes of Jay-Z, Vampire Weekend, Muse, Faith No More, David Guetta, Gorillaz, DJ Lance Rock, Aeroplane, Devo, Coheed and Cambria, Kaskade, Gossip, Mew, Sia, Corrine Bailey Rae, Shooter Jennings, Thom Yorke, Mutemath and many others. Will you be going to the show? I’m still pretty iffy about this given that the usually indie-friendly event has Jay-Z as its headliner. The meaning of the whole thing kind of got lost on me.

With the presidential election fast approaching, many musicians have become active in promoting awareness of the importance of voting. Jay-Z, Bruce Springsteen and Barbra Streisand are just a couple of the many that have helped out. Now, the Beastie Boys are hitting the road to perform some shows in the battleground states. The band has announced the ‘Get Out & Vote ‘08’ which will take them to Virginia on October 28th, Minnesota on November 1st, and Milwaukee on November 2nd. Sheryl Crow, Norah Jones and a few others will join them on the Virginia stop while Ben Harper and Tenacious D will help out on the Minnesota and Milwaukee stops.

A mini Destiny’s Child reunion took place in Milan on Saturday when Kelly Rowland joined former band mate Beyonce and her boyfriend Jay-Z. Where was Michelle? Wasn’t she invited?

Anyway, the trio hit the Versace fashion show and were seated front row, in perfect view of the photographers! I wonder how Mister Armani feels about this. Beyonce is the face of Armani’s new fragrance yet there she was showing a lot of love and support for the competition. If Armani does have something to say, Beyonce can just say that she’s scouting for her own fashion line. Either way, girl has some explaining to do.
