Pop icons Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, and Latin sensation Karol G have been confirmed as headliners for Coachella 2026, marking their first time topping the bill at the world-renowned music festival.
The event will return to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, across two weekends: April 10–12 and April 17–19. Carpenter will kick off the festivities on Friday, followed by Bieber on Saturday and Karol G closing out Sunday’s lineup.
Carpenter’s return comes two years after she debuted her hit single “Espresso” at Coachella 2024. Bieber, fresh off his dual album releases Swag and Swag II, is expected to bring high-energy nostalgia to the desert stage.
Karol G, riding the wave of her acclaimed album Tropicoqueta, will headline the final night with her signature Latin flair.
Joining the trio are a diverse mix of global acts including Teddy Swims, Katseye, Central Cee, CMAT, Disclosure, Wet Leg, Lambrini Girls, Little Simz, and FKA Twigs.
Tickets are not yet on sale, but fans can register for passes ahead of the general release on September 19 at 11 a.m. PT.
Coachella remains one of the most influential music festivals globally, known for its star-studded crowds and genre-spanning lineups.
Last year’s edition featured Lady Gaga, Travis Scott, Post Malone, and Green Day, with celebrity attendees like Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner spotted in the audience.
Organizers are expected to address logistical issues from last year, including backlash over a new camping reservation system that led to long delays.
