Coachella 2014 Dates Announced, Mimicking This Year's Two Weekend Format [Video]

Although festival season has just begun, eager concert goers are already looking ahead into the future.

Coachella has come and gone, setting the tone for what promises to be the best festival season yet. Festivals' increasing popularity fuels their progress as they grow bigger, attract more people and bring in bigger names. Although Coachella may now seem like a distant memory, the dates for the 2014 weekends have just been announced.

The festival will mimic it's new two weekend model and take place April 11-13 and April 18-10. So, it's time to start speculating on potential headliners, guest appearances and collaborations. Perhaps Daft Punk will actually show up this time. Let's not get our hopes up too high though. After all, it's Daft Punk. You can never be sure.

Out of all the big names that took the stage this weekend during Coachella, R. Kelly was likely in the back of most people's minds. It isn't that he's not a talented performer and gifted singer, he's just not who most fans expect, or perhaps care to see during the two-weekend long festival. Despite the fans' expectations however, R. Kelly shoot things up a bit and dazzled the audience when he came on stage during Phoenix's performance.

Attendees originally believed that Daft Punk would make their "secret" Coachella appearance onstage with Phoenix, but once those rumors were shot down, the French band decided to bring on Kelly. The questionable decision caught their fans a bit off guard, but it ultimately appeased them immensely. The band and R&B singer performed a mashup of Phoenix's "1901" and Kelly's smash hit "Ignition (Remix)." What began as a mellow set, nostalgic of a warm, calm summer night with those closest to you, erupted into a massive bump and grind dance party. Check out the video of their stellar performance below.
