The weekend blowout will also feature Anohni, Blood Orange, Vince Staples, Young Thug, Charles Bradley, Grimes, Rae Sremmurd, Beach House, Kelela and Julia Holter and more.

Weekend passes will be available for $199 (up from last year’s $175), with single-day tickets available for $125. Weekend VIP passes run $339. Tickets are on sale Friday. They are available for $212 (including all fees, and cash only) at two record stores, Fingerprints in Long Beach and Amoeba in Hollywood.

Notably:

► Air’s performance will be their first U.S. show in five years.
► Saves the Day will dazzle the emo kids by performing their 2001 album “Stay What You Are.”
Julien Baker will play very quietly.
► Explosions in the Sky will not. (2011 is still one of our most memorable festival sets ever.)
► Anohni (fka Antony Hegarty of Antony & the Johnsons) will be doing her first L.A. performance for the album “Hopelessness.” Watch the video for “Drone Bomb Me.”
► Shellac. Steve Albini.
