The Black Keys, Radiohead, Arctic Monkeys, and David Guetta are all top acts for this year’s incarnation and they are all return performers to the desert festival.

The Black Keys and French House DJ Guetta lead the pack with three performances in all, counting this year. And though not within our five-year parameters, Radiohead played in 2004 and lead singer Thom Yorke’s Atoms for Peace took the Outdoor Stage in 2010.
