Coachella 2026 Lineup
Coachella is never not controversial, right? The 2026 lineup’s here, and wow, are the internet’s torches already lit. With Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G on the main stage, let’s just say comment sections are wild. Look, it’s easy to see why: Bieber is finally getting his “I’m the headliner now” moment after years of surprise cameos. And Sabrina? Fresh off a flirty, sold-out 2025 set, now with her latest album in tow.
Karol G, the Colombian powerhouse, rounds things out, bringing that fresh post-Tropicoqueta energy. But here’s where things get fun: Young Thug, The xx, Turnstile, the ever-weirdly brilliant David Byrne, FKA twigs, Addison Rae (?!), and Ethel Cain are all on the bill. Oh, and yes, legacy heroes like Iggy Pop, Moby, Devo, and, cryptically, Radiohead, promising something secretive with a “Bunker Debut of Kid A Mnesia.”
It’s an oddball tapestry. A friend messaged me, “Bro, Devo and Addison Rae at the same festival feels like I’m being pranked.” Couldn’t have said it better. Some fans are calling it “garbage.” That’s harsh, but, well, passion is what makes music fans fun and exhausting. Personally? I’m mostly here for the strange little corners of the lineup KATSEYE, Laufey, PinkPantheress, and hoping for a few of those 10 p.m. moments with nobody in the tent and a suddenly transcendent set.
Pop Base (@PopBase) reported on Twitter that the highly anticipated Coachella 2026 lineup is finally here, and it’s stacked with major names. Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Karol G, and Anyma will headline the festival.
Coachella 2026 Date
Mark your calendars: the madness returns April 10–12 and April 17–19, 2026. Yeah, it’s the double-weekend deal again, which means two chances to both see your faves and lose your phone in the Polo fields. There’s something about the anticipation that people start planning their outfits literally months out. Last year, my group chat started debating whose Airbnb would have the “afterparty pool swans” in like, January. Nobody agreed, but it’s tradition now.

Coachella 2026 Venue
Same as it ever was: Empire Polo Club, Indio, California. You know the drill: dust storms, starry nights, and that weird feeling that everyone around you is either an influencer or a dentist from Burbank letting loose for the weekend.
The venue gets a lot of flak for being, essentially, very large, very hot, and a bit of a trek from the parking lot. But when the sunset hits behind the Ferris wheel, nobody complains. I still remember seeing a dude cry at sunset during a Lorde set. “She just gets it, man,” he said, to nobody in particular. This is the vibe.
Coachella 2026 Tickets
Tickets drop Friday, September 19, 2025, at 11 am PT. Set those alarms, or prepare to beg around on Discord for “spares” later. Coachella ticket day is its own kind of war zone; people talk about it like Black Friday for music lovers. My cousin once got into a queue, left to walk her dog, and by the time she was back, she was 7,312th in line. Good luck out there. Just try to nab them early, and maybe don’t mortgage your house for a “VIP Yurt Experience” unless you’re actually a Kardashian.
