In an effort to try and accommodate everyone who wants to experience the festival, Coachella has announced that in 2012 there will be two separate events, held over two consecutive weekends. Both will be two identical festival weekends. That means same line-up, same art, same place, different festival goers.

The dates for 2012 are confirmed as Friday 20th to Sunday 22nd April for weekend two, and again a week earlier.
