SMURF'S UP!
Gargamel invades Coachella with celebs and DJs; '80s babies rejoice!
I was always a Rainbow Brite girl, but if you're one of the millions of kids captivated by The Smurfs in their '80s heydey, you're about to get psyched:
Along with the usual lineup of rock stars and groupies, Coachella is adding a Smurf Village to this year's lineup.
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the little blue gnomes (trolls? animals? critters?), the Smurf Village will feature a "Gargamel Potion bar" and DJ sets by Steve Aoki and Good Charlotte.
Graffiti artists from around the country have also been invited to participate in the Smurftacular celebration - the graphic you see above is from Ghettogloss, and will be on display at the music festival.
There are also rumors that Mary Kate Olsen would lend her voice to a Smurf movie remake... will she make an appearance, too?
