Thom Yorke's Eraser band has been confirmed for this year's Coachella Festival in California.

The full line-up for the festival was announced yesterday with the Radiohead frontman tentatively billed as “Thom Yorke????” alongside headliners Muse, Gorillaz and Jay-Z.

It has since been made official that Yorke will perform with his Eraser band, which features the likes of Flea and Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich.

It is unknown whether Jonny Greenwood, who contributed piano to the album “The Eraser” and co-wrote the title track, will also appear.

The announcement was made after Yorke dropped some heavy hints while co-hosting the Gilles Peterson show on Radio 1: “The Eraser Band that I got together, we’re going to do something, hopefully in April. Just small gigs, and then maybe that’s going to lead somewhere as well - there’s lots of stuff going on.”

While pursuing his solo project, Yorke assured Radiohead fans that the band are still keeping busy in the studio: “There’s a lot that’s underway at the moment. My trouble is trying to keep up, but I prefer it that way.”

Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival 2010 takes place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio from April 16-18.
