Billboard is reporting that Iggy Pop will reunite with the Stooges for the first time in 28 years on the second night of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival on April 27th. Pop will be backed by original Stooges guitarist Ron Asheton and drummer Scott Asheton, with rock veteran Mike Watt (Minutemen) filling on bass for the late David Alexander. The band has recorded four new songs together which are set for inclusion on Pop's upcoming Virgin album. The untitled disc also features the Green Day collaboration band titled the Trolls. Stooges influenced band The Hives will make their only concert appearance of 2003 on the first day of the festival before they return to writing their follow up to 2000's "Veni Vidi Vicious."
