The wait is over. Coachella 2026 just unveiled its most ambitious lineup yet, bringing together chart-toppers and underground favorites for what promises to be an unforgettable desert experience across two weekends in April.
The Big Names Taking Center Stage
Mark your calendars for April 10-12 and 17-19 – that’s when Justin Bieber, Karol G, Sabrina Carpenter, and Anyma will command the main stage. Carpenter kicks things off Friday night, riding high on her latest release Man’s Best Friend and her packed fall tour schedule. She’ll share the spotlight with an eclectic mix: XX, Disclosure, the haunting Ethel Cain, soul sensation Teddy Swims, new wave legends Devo, plus rising stars Sexyy Red and Central Cee. The night also celebrates girl power with performances from BINI and Katseye.
Saturday belongs to Bieber, who broke the news himself on Instagram with lyrics from “Yukon” off his Swag II album. He’ll be joined by Addison Rae (fresh from her Rolling Stone February cover), the mysterious Sombr, Talking Heads icon David Byrne, and pop darling PinkPantheress.
Sunday wraps up with Colombian powerhouse Karol G closing out the festival, while Anyma brings his ambitious Æden project to life. The final day also features Young Thug, electronic maestro Kaskade, jazz-pop sensation Laufey, punk legend Iggy Pop, and the ethereal FKA Twigs.
What You’ll Pay to Party in the Desert
Ready to secure your spot? General admission passes start at $549 for Weekend Two, jumping to $649 for Weekend One. Those seeking the VIP treatment can expect to shell out between $1,199 and $1,299, depending on which weekend calls to you.
Last year’s festival brought us headliners Lady Gaga, Post Malone, and Green Day, with Travis Scott delivering a memorable after-hours performance that had fans buzzing long after the dust settled.
Familiar Faces in New Spotlight
While these artists step into headlining roles for the first time, they’re no strangers to the Coachella stage. Bieber previously joined Tems during her 2025 set and made a surprise appearance with Ariana Grande’s 2019 headlining performance. Karol G commanded attention on the main stage back in 2022, bringing out Becky G for a crowd-pleasing collaboration. As for Carpenter, her sunset main stage slot in 2024 served as the perfect preview of her headlining potential.
This lineup reveal comes just days after Rolling Stone’s exclusive report hinting at Carpenter and Karol G’s headlining positions – speculation that’s now officially confirmed.
