Coachella officially dropped their full 2019 lineup after beginning to release artists one-by-one last night. Actor Idris Elba is among those announced, and it’s sending the internet into a tizzy.

Most notably, Elba has appeared as Heimdall in Thor, Thor: The Dark World, Avengers: Age Of Ultron, Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Infinity War.

Some thought it must be a different Idris Elba…

While others were simply mind blown over the discovery…

And some didn’t care what he was doing at Coachella, they were here for it regardless…

While Elba’s name appears as is on the festival’s lineup, he has gone by other names such as DJ Big Driis and Big Driis the Londoner.

Elba later confirmed his set by tweeting a simple, “See you in the desert.”

You can see a clip of Elba DJing below.

In perhaps the smartest marketing move ever, today Netflix also announced Elba will be starring in Turn Up Charlie as “a struggling DJ turned nanny.”

.@idriselba has a new show where he plays a struggling DJ turned nanny and all I can say is SIGN ME UP!!!!

Turn Up Charlie is coming to @netflix March 15. pic.twitter.com/ABtC6c9L1U

The show premieres March 15, and you can catch Elba onstage at Coachella Saturday April 13 and 20.
