Goldenvoice announces new stage for Coachella featuring Jamie XX, Eric Prydz and more
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival will have a new stage this year when it returns April 12-14 and 19-21, and its sets will be much longer than festivalgoers are used to.
On Monday, Los Angeles promoter Goldenvoice announced the Quasar stage featuring extended three-hour sets during both weekends. Details of its location and set times were not included, but the lineup features international DJs, music producers and composers.

In February, organizers announced the expansion and relocation of the EDM-centric Sahara Tent. That new 320-foot-long structure will be located between Avenue 51 and Polo Road, south of its previous location and closer to the blue path parking area.

Passes are still available
When passes for the 2023 edition of Coachella went on sale last year, the annual gathering in the desert did not sell out immediately for the first time since Goldenvoice introduced two weekends more than a decade ago.
This year, the pattern continues.
Weekend 1 General Admission and VIP passes are no longer available. Both GA and VIP passes are available for Weekend 2.
Lana Del Rey, Tyler, the Creator and Doja Cat will headline both weekends. Other performers on the lineup include: Peso Pluma, Renee Rapp, Lil Uzi Vert, Justice, Blur, Ice Spice, Grimes, Jon Batiste, Jungle, Lil Yachty, J Balvin, DJ Snake, Bebe Rexha and more.
The lineup also features the reunited rock band No Doubt, featuring Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont and Adrian Young. It will mark the first time in nearly 10 years since the group performed together.
This is the first time in the festival's history that more than one woman will headline Coachella. It's also one of the most Southern California-centric lineups, with Tyler, the Creator and Doja Cat growing up around the Los Angeles area, and Lana Del Rey residing nearby as well. No Doubt is also from Orange County.
