The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival revealed its 2015 lineup on Tuesday, and it's looking like a dad-friendly outing: Both AC/DC and Jack White are headlining, and soft-rock-fusion kings Steely Dan are listed just below in a slightly smaller typeface.

Other recently reunited acts include shoegaze legends Ride and post-hardcore band Drive Like Jehu, while the lineup also boasts younger critical favorites like St. Vincent, War on Drugs, Flying Lotus, Caribou and FKA Twigs.

The festival takes place over the weekends of April 10 to 12 and April 17 to 19, in Indio, California.
