Show Me the Body Playing Coachella After All
When the Coachella Valley Music Arts and Festival announced its 2017 lineup, New York punk trio Show Me the Body were surprised to find their name on the poster. They tweeted, “We never agreed to play Coachella. We were offered but we said no.” Now, the band has announced that they will play the festival in April after “Coachella amended their offer.” In a new tweet, they write that they “will play on day three at 4pm for 25 minutes.” In addition, they’ve said that they will play a pair of shows in Los Angeles prior to the festival: One will support homeless LGBT youth, and the other is “in support of California climate advocacy efforts.” Their compensation for the Coachella show, they added, will go to the same efforts. See Show Me the Body’s tweets below.
Pitchfork has reached out to Show Me the Body’s representatives for more information and further comment.
