NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The Flaming Lips, rapper Pusha T and multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding are among the acts headlining next year's Buku music festival in New Orleans.

The festival, officially known as the Buku Music + Art Project, is in its third year. As in past years, it will be held at Mardi Gras World, the massive studio and warehouse where the city's Carnival floats are made.

The festival's inaugural year featured about 30 acts on two stages. In 2014, it will have nearly 50 acts on four stages set up among Carnival floats and props inside the space, as well as stages outside along the bank of the Mississippi River.

The lineup includes a host of electronic music acts, among them Zedd, Kaskade and Chromeo.

The festival is scheduled for March 21-22.
