Coachella 2026 lineup: Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber and Karol G to headline festival

by

Great news for music fans! The first headliners for the 2026 Coachella festival have been announced, and they’re all major pop artists.

Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G are set to be the main performers at the festival, which will be held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio over two weekends: April 10-12 and 17-19, 2026.

The festival also features performances by established artists like Iggy Pop, David Byrne, and Devo, alongside rock bands such as the Strokes and Turnstile. Pop singer Addison Rae, electronic music DJ Kaskade, and rapper Young Thug are also on the lineup, along with many more.

At the bottom of the festival poster, it also mentions “The Bunker Debut of Radiohead Kid A Mnesia.” Radiohead, the popular British rock band, has also just announced dates for a European tour.

The Friday poster features a collaboration between Nine Inch Nails and German producer Boys Noize, listed as “Nine Inch Noize.” Boys Noize recently toured with Nine Inch Nails and has been referring to their live performances together on Instagram as “Nine Inch Noize System.”

Since it began in 1999, the Coachella music festival has always featured a variety of artists. Sometimes, this includes surprising choices, like the children’s show Yo Gabba Gabba! and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, who performed earlier this year. Continuing this tradition, the iconic Bob Baker Marionettes, from the Bob Baker Marionette Theater, are scheduled to perform on Friday at the 2026 festival.

Goldenvoice, the company that puts on the festival, usually announces the performers in January, about three months before the event takes place.

Passes go on sale at 11 a.m. Pacific on Friday, Sept. 19 at www.coachella.com.
