Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G will headline the two-weekend event, alongside powerhouse producer Anyma.
Carpenter, who first stunned Coachella crowds in 2024, is stepping into full headliner status for the first time. Bieber, long rumored to take the stage, will finally mark his return to the festival spotlight. Karol G’s top billing continues the wave of Latin stars commanding global stages, while Anyma brings a high-concept electronic edge to the lineup.
Beyond the headliners, the festival poster is stacked. Indie icons The Strokes, art-rock legend David Byrne, and punk trailblazer Iggy Pop are on the bill, alongside younger chart-toppers like Addison Rae, Sexyy Redd, and Teddy Swims. Dance fans can look forward to sets from Kaskade, Disclosure, and Major Lazer, while cult favorites like Devo, Nine Inch Nails, and FKA Twigs round out the genre-spanning roster.
Wait, is Radiohead playing a secret gig?
In a surprise twist, the lineup also teases “The Bunker Debut of Radiohead Kid A Mnesia,” a cryptic nod that has fans buzzing. Radiohead recently announced a European tour, but this suggests a special one-off moment unique to Coachella.
When and where is Coachella 2026?
Held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, Coachella will return for two weekends: 10–12 April and 17–19 April 2026
When are tickets on sale?
Tickets going on sale this Thursday at 4 am AEST (11am Friday PDT). You can register for access to ticket sales immediately on the Coachella webstie, and if past years are any indication, the frenzy for passes will be intense.
About Coachella
Coachella has been running since 1999 and has ballooned into one of the most influential music festivals in the world, drawing hundreds of thousands of fans each April. Last year, Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone, and Travis Scott headlined, setting a high bar that 2026 seems eager to clear.
As always, the lineup reveal is just the beginning. With Stagecoach—the country festival hosted the following weekend—still to announce its performers, Indio is once again gearing up to be the epicenter of live music next spring.
