The Coachella poster has dropped, and with it, the annual frenzy of fan speculation about setlists, special guests, and more has consumed nearly everyone’s social media feeds.
Set for the weekends of April 10-12 and April 17-19 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, the festival’s lineup promises a mix of global headliners, rock veterans and newcomers ready to take the stage by storm.
Headlining the festival are Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber and Karol G, each marking a significant milestone in their careers.
Sabrina Carpenter, known for her albums like “Short n’ Sweet” and “Man’s Best Friend,” will be headlining both Fridays. Returning to Coachella just two years after her 2024 debut, fans already know Carpenter is going to deliver a high energy and memorable performance mixing her eccentric choreography with pop vocals.
Justin Bieber will also be making his return to the Coachella stage as a headliner for both Saturdays. With the recent release of his albums “Swag” and “Swag II,” fans are anticipating an extravagant performance blending both Bieber’s new and old hits.
Karol G, the Colombian reggaeton superstar, will be the final headliner on both Sundays. She will be making history as the first Latina to headline Coachella. This is a major milestone in not just her career, but in the history of the festival.
Beyond the headliners, the 2026 lineup offers a unique range of talent and genres. BigBang’s reunion, celebrating their 20th anniversary, is set to be a big moment for Kpop fans, while rock fans are awaiting performances from The Strokes, Interpol and Devo.
EDM enthusiasts on the other hand, are looking forward to performances from artists like Kaskade and Subtronics.
Additionally, there are several newcomers this year to the Coachella stage like SOMBR, PinkPatheress and Sexyy Red. Fans are more than ecstatic to see what these artists bring to the stage, not just visually but vocally. Another group making their Coachella debut is KATSEYE. This group will also be making Coachella history as the first Filipino girl group to perform.
Tickets for Coachella 2026 went on sale on Sep, 19 and have already sold out for both weekends. Several of the festival’s organizers announced this anticipated sell out with a playful note: “She’s gone, dance on. See you in April.”
While GA and VIP passes remain sold out, many camping and hotel packages remain open, with fans able to join waitlists in case of any new potential ticket releases.
Ultimately, Coachella 2026 promises to be a landmark event shaped by fashion, dance, diversity and love of music. Just from the lineup alone, Coachella 2026 is set to be an unforgettable two weekends.
