Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Sethi shared the official Coachella schedule. He wrote, “AAJAAO SAARAY [come everyone] Coachella pre-sale starts Friday January 13 at 11am PT. Register now at coachella.com.”

His post received comments from singer Aima Baig, Talal Qureshi, actor Adnan Malik, painter Salman Toor, BBC radio host Haroon Rashid and artist Misha Japanwala.

He will be performing on April 16 and 23 on the third stage. The list shared by Sethi reveals that Bad Bunny, Gorillaz, Burna Boy, Chemical Brothers, Kaytranada, Blondie, Becky G, Metro Boomin, FKJ, Pusha T, Toba Nwigwe, Wet Leg, SG Lewis, Yves Tumor, Testpilot, Angele, MUNA, Maceo Plex, TRwo Friends, Yungblud, Jamie Jones, Ashnikko, Malaa, TV Girl, Whyte Fang, Doechii, Benee, Idris Elba, Mangdalena Bay, Saba, Dennis Cruz Pawsa, Soul Glo, Lava La Rue, Sleaford Mods, Comet,Comet is COming, Oliver Koletzki, Kyle Watson, The Murder Capital, Chris Stussy, Jupiter & Okwess, Lewis OiMan, Juliet Mendoza and Desert Cahuilla Bird Singers will perform on April 14 and 21.
