We’re starting to get a better idea of who will be where this summer and two legendary British bands will play a big part.

Portishead is confirmed to headline this year’s Coachella festival on Saturday night, according to a high-level source. The same source unequivocally denied rumors that Radiohead would appear at Coachella, but did confirm that the group would play the East Coast festival being planned by Coachella promoters Goldenvoice/AEG Live . The full Coachella line-up will be announced this Monday.

Portishead is no real surprise. But Radiohead at the NYC Festival is going to make a lot of people unhappy. More than a few Coachella fans probably aren’t too happy that the band will instead be headlining GoldenVoice’s new “east coast Coachella”. And what’s this mean for Lollapalooza? Radiohead headlining two major US festivals on back to back weekends? I don’t know…
