Rodriguez, the Detroit singer-songwriter at the center of the Oscar-nominated documentary Searching for Sugar Man, will perform at the Coachella, Glastonbury and Primavera festivals this year, Billboard reports. Rodriguez, now 70, released a pair of albums on Clarence Avant's Sussex records in the early Seventies. The records failed to catch on in the U.S. but made Rodriguez a massive figure in South Africa, unbeknownst to him. He returned to tour South Africa in 1998, and in 2008, Light in the Attic records re-released his two albums, Cold Fact and Coming From Reality.
