It's nearly time - this weekend will be the first of two for Coachella festival 2014. Bringing together the biggest names in music of every genre from around the world to the scorching fields of California, it's looking pretty epic. But there's one inherant problem with having such a flawless line-up: you can't possibly see all of the bands at once.

After releasing the stage time schedule, there are a wealth of unfortunate clashes and tough decisions to be made. Do you see one of Muse's only live appearance of 2014 or see Nas perform the seminal Illmatic in full? Do you celebrate the anniversary of Outkast or catch a glimpse of the bone-shaking Crosses? Do you end the weekend with Arcade Fire, Disclosure or Motorhead?

As for Queens Of The Stone Age clashing with Mogwai and Empire Of The Sun, don't even get us started...
