While it’s not really a big revelation, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has confirmed the dates for its 2010 edition. You can click here to find out when… or we can just tell you: it will be April 16-18. Again, duh!

In other news, Coachella has also released ticket information for layaway plans. These tickets will run you $269 (+ applicable fees) and will be available in one of two options:

• 50% deposit of ticket total + all fees, with the remaining 50% automatically deducted from your credit card of choice on the first week of March.

• 10% deposit of ticket total + all fees as your first payment, with the remaining total automatically deducted in two equal payments on the first week of each month (February and March) after the first payment month.

Pre-sales will begin soon via Ticketmaster, but we suggest you hurry. Tickets for general camping spots (now with cars!) and RV camping spots will also be available. Find all the info here.

Muse, Phoenix, Hot Chip, Devo, and The xx are among the acts currently confirmed for Coachella 2010. Visit CoS’ Festival Outlook for all additional lineup confirmations and rumors.
