Top Canadian musicians including Crystal Castles, F*cked Up and X3 Artist of the Month K'naan are heading south for this year's Coachella.

Paul McCartney, Morrissey, Franz Ferdinand, the Killers, Amy Winehouse, TV on the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Peter Bjorn and John, and X are just a few of the many high-profile groups also on the bill for the weekend-long California fest, which runs from April 17-19.

Other major Canadian artists appearing at Coachella include Leonard Cohen and favourite electronic acts MSTKRFT and Junior Boys.

You can buy tickets now, or if you're low on cash, you can find the festival's layaway plan here. And to spare yourself long lineups at Will Call when you arrive, make sure to read the directions for International Ticket Buyers.
