The Coachella Festival 2026 Announced: Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Karol G to Headline

The eagerly awaited Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is set to showcase a trio of major headliners: Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, and Karol G.

Debut as Top Acts

This marks the first time all three artists have topped the bill at the iconic California event.

Full Lineup

The opening day’s performances will feature the xx, Disclosure, Teddy Swims, Sexyy Red, Katseye, Central Cee, Ethel Cain, Dijon, and Nine Inch Noize.

Saturday includes the Strokes, Giveon, Addison Rae, Labrinth, and David Byrne.

Sunday’s performers will showcase Young Thug, Bigbang, Major Lazer, Iggy Pop, FKA twigs, and Subtronics.

Special Sets

Italian DJ Anyma is scheduled to take the unofficial fourth headliner spot on Saturday, following Bieber's set.

He is said to be introducing an all-new production called Æden.

Surprise Reveal

The lineup came out much earlier than in previous years, just two weeks following Bieber dropped his latest album, Swag II.

This marks Bieber’s official Coachella appearance as well as a comeback to major stages following a break from full tours since 2022.

Health and Comeback

In a past, the artist called off his tour because of health concerns, stating that he needed to focus on his health.

His scheduled show is highly anticipated by fans worldwide.

Sabrina Carpenter’s Rise

Sabrina Carpenter is coming back after her first appearance in the previous edition, this time as a headliner.

Her most recent album, Man’s Best Friend, was widely praised among the year’s most provocative pop releases.

Karol G’s Historic Moment

Karol G will become the inaugural Latina to headline Coachella, following Bad Bunny set a precedent as the inaugural Latin artist two years ago.

Her newest album, Tropicoqueta, came out this past June, and her set marks her first full show supporting the release.

Event Information

Coachella is scheduled during two separate weekends in April 2026: April 10-12 as well as April 17-19.

It takes place at its usual Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
