The Coachella Music and Arts Festival announced their lineup tonight. A number of bands well known to the Punknews.org readership will be performing at the famous Indio, California music weekend(s), including acts like the The Black Keys, The Hives, Madness, Jimmy Cliff and Rancid's Tim Armstrong, Radiohead, Feist, Wild Flag and, fresh off their reunion announcement earlier today, At The Drive-In. You can now add another legendary reunited modern punk act to the roster: Sweden's Refused.

Refused split up in 1998 following the American tour supporting their groundbreaking final LP The Shape of Punk to Come. In the past decade lead vocalist Dennis Lyxzén performed with The (International) Noise Conspiracy and in a number of solo projects. The remainder of Refused performed briefly as TEXT before splintering into a number of other projects. Lyxzén and drummer David Sandström formed the hardcore act AC4 in recent years. Refused's reunion was teased last year before The Shape of Punk to Come was reissued by Epitaph Records.
