Guns N' Roses will reportedly perform with its original lineup of singer Axl Rose, guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan. The band members have not performed together in two decades.

Coachella, which began in 1999 as a festival of indie and alternative rock, has become one of the main attractions of the summer live music season. Headliners in recent years have included Jay Z, Snoop Dogg and Madonna.

The two-weekend festival in Indio, California is scheduled over three days and the weekends of April 15-17 and April 22-24.
