The 2011 edition of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival will include headliners the Kings of Leon, the Arcade Fire and rapper Kanye West.

Late Tuesday evening, promoter Goldenvoice released the lineup for the annual festival, slated for April 15-17 at Empire Polo in Indio.

The eclectic festival, now in its 12th year, will feature everyone from colorful neo-soul singer Cee-Lo Green (of “Forget You” and its unprintable alternate fame) to ’80s fashion-pop outfit Duran Duran; electronica legends and six-time festival performers the Chemical Brothers to the sadcore stylings of the National; and the punk/blues of the Black Keys to costumed superheroes the Aquabats.

The arts aspect of Coachella will feature a partnership with the Creators Project, which will work with headliners as well as curate a series of installations by artists who use technology.

Campers will be able to take advantage of a farmers’ market, a 24-hour general store, a free grocery-store shuttle and a roller rink.

Three-day festival and camping passes go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, January 21, via www.coachella.com, ticketmaster.com and (800) 745-3000. Tickets are $269 (not including surcharges) and camping is $75. Layaway and VIP are also available.
