The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has announced its line-up for 2015, and it's a mixed bag.

AC/DC will serve as the obligatory aging rock band on the Friday night, while Drake will prove a huge draw on the Sunday and Jack White will tide things over in between.

Further down the line-up in the size eight font section are plenty of gems, including The Weeknd, Cloud Nothings, FKA Twigs, The War on Drugs, Perfume Genius, Run the Jewels, St Vincent, Toro y Moi and Flying Lotus.

Among the Brits who'll be heading out to California are SBTRKT, Florence + The Machine, Jamie xx and Clean Bandit.

Tame Impala get a surprisingly high billing, above Interpol on the Friday night, while rappers mostly get pushed further down, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah and Tyler the Creator playing second fiddle to the likes of Alabama Shakes, Belle and Sebastian and David Guetta.

The festival takes place over two weekends, April 10-12 and April 17-19, in Indio, California.
