IGGY POP AND THE STOOGES

TO REUNITE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 28 YEARS

AT COACHELLA FESTIVAL;





The already impressive line-up for the fourth annual Coachella Valley
Music
and Arts Festival just got hotter.

History will be made at the festival--which takes place the weekend of
April
26-27 in Indio, CA--when Iggy Pop reunites with his seminal band the
Stooges.
For the first time in 28 years, Iggy (who performed at Coachella in
2001)
will
take the main stage April 27 with original Stooges, Ron Asheton
(guitar) and
Scott Asheton (drums). Special guest Mike Watt will fill in on bass
for
David
Alexander, who passed away in 1975.

This performance by Iggy and the Stooges comes amid anticipation of
four
newly
recorded songs by the group which will appear on the upcoming Iggy Pop
CD to
be released by Virgin Records this summer. The CD will also feature
tracks
by
Iggy solo, his band The Trolls and San Francisco's Green Day.

Meanwhile, the Hives--whom were influenced by the raw power of Iggy and
the
Stooges--will make their Coachella debut April 26, marking the band's
only
2003 appearance in the U.S. The Swedish group achieved a Grammy
nomination
with their critically acclaimed album (VENI, VIDI, VICIOUS) and have
built a
strong live reputation.

The COACHELLA VALLEY MUSIC & ARTS FESTIVAL--having been hailed as "The
Best
American Festival" by Rolling Stone (6/6/02) and "Probably The Best
Festival
In The World" by England's NME (5/11/02)--returns for its fourth year
Saturday, April 26 and Sunday, April 27 at the Empire Polo Fields in
Indio,
CA. An unparalleled cutting-edge musical experience in a peaceful and
breathtakingly beautiful setting that last year attracted 55,000 music
fans,
the Goldenvoice-promoted extravaganza is being headlined by Beastie
Boys
(Saturday) and the Red Hot Chili Peppers (Sunday).
