Coachella is calling, once again. The 2026 Coachella lineup was announced on Tuesday, Sept. 16, so it’s safe to say that the countdown to April’s hottest weekend is officially on. And yes, Justin Bieber and Sabrina Carpenter will be making their much-hoped-for appearances, alongside a stacked list of pop icons and rising artists ready to light up the desert.
The festival will run its usual two weekends in 2026: April 10-12 and April 17-19 in Indio, California, where the Empire Polo Club will transform into a hub for some of the hottest music, fashion, and celebrity moments in pop culture. Every year, Coachella is center stage for unforgettable performances, surprise guest moments, and trendsetting festival style that dominates our social media feeds for weeks after the last set ends.
We may still have seven months to go, but the planning — from curating the perfect outfits to coordinating your camping plans — can never start too early, right? Whether you’re a seasoned festival-goer or hopeful first-timer, here’s your guide to all things Coachella 2026, including the lineup, ticket information, and more.
The Coachella 2026 Lineup
Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G are this year’s headliners — the first time on top for all three.
Carpenter stole the show and filled our social media feeds with her dazzling display during her afternoon slot at Coachella 2024. We can’t think of anyone more deserving and perfect to headline both Friday nights of Coachella. She’ll be joined by Disclosure, Sexyy Red, and Teddy Swims on the Friday night shows, just to name a few highlights.
Fresh off his recent releases of Swag and Swag II, the Bieber Fever of 2025 just got even better. Though Bieber has made a few guest appearances at Coachella over the years, he’s finally taking center stage in his first official performance spot. The rest of Saturday’s roster includes The Strokes, Addison Rae, and Sombr, along with many more.
Karol G will close off the star-studded lineup on Sunday night, making history as the first Latina to ever headline the festival. This won’t be her first appearance on the Coachella stage, either — fans still remember her iconic 2022 performance where she brought out Becky G and J Balvin. Young Thug, Laufey, Major Lazer, Iggy Pop, and more will also have slots throughout Sunday. You can see the entire weekend lineup here.
