Beyoncé, Eminem and The Weeknd have been announced as the headliners for this year’s Coachella festival.

The three US chart-toppers will take to the main stage at the California music extravaganza over the course of two weekends in April.

Grammy award-winning pop star Beyoncé was scheduled to headline last year’s festival but was forced to pull out of her performance after falling pregnant with twins.

Rapper Eminem will make his debut at the US’s biggest music event, having topped the charts in both the US and the UK with his comeback album, Revival.

The Weeknd – real name Abel Makkonen Tesfaye – will return to play the main stage after performing as a relative unknown back in 2012.

Other additions to the line-up, announced on Tuesday night, include rapper Tyler, The Creator, St Vincent, Haim, Cardi B and Kygo.
