How the Coachella headliners timeline works

Every card is an act that has headlined Coachella, with a short description printed underneath: its genre and often where it's from. You're ordering them by the year each first headlined the festival. One act opens the timeline with its year visible. Place each new card in a gap; a correct choice reveals the year, and a wrong one still carries the act to its real spot but costs a life. You have three of them.

The bill has broadened a lot over the festival's life, taking in alternative rock, hip-hop, pop, electronic acts and global stars, and the description won't settle a close call by itself. Legacy rock bands and reunions are scattered through the whole history, which makes them the hardest to place. Remember that only an act's first time headlining counts. Most editions had several names at the top, so neighboring cards often share a year.

Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
