Coachella 2026 lineup announced, with Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Karol G to headline
Coachella has revealed its full lineup for summer next year already.
Coachella has unveiled its heavily pop-driven 2026 line-up, with a bill that blends global pop icons, rock legends and fresh new talent. The festival returns to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, across two weekends, 10–12 April and 17–19 April.
As Billboard reports, the headline slots will be filled by Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G. Each is riding a career high: Bieber’s surprise album Swag debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in July, also placing 16 tracks on the Hot 100. That achievement lifted his career total to 121 entries, ranking him tenth in Hot 100 history. Carpenter has also been topping charts, with Man’s Best Friend becoming her second No. 1 album after 2024’s Short n’ Sweet. Meanwhile, Karol G was honoured last year as Billboard’s Woman of the Year – the first Latina to receive the award.
But as Consequence points out, much of the excitement lies in the undercard. Festivalgoers can expect sets from The Strokes, Iggy Pop, The xx, Disclosure, Devo, Young Thug, David Byrne, BIGBANG, FKA twigs, Interpol, Wet Leg, Central Cee, Lykke Li and Major Lazer, to name just a few. Fans will also see Nine Inch Noize, a new collaboration between Nine Inch Nails and Boys Noize, alongside acts such as Turnstile, Laufey, Clipse and PinkPantheress.
There will also be standout performances and premieres. Italian-American producer Anyma will debut Æden, billed as an immersive audiovisual experience. The poster also teases “The Bunker Debut Of RADIOHEAD KID A MNESIA,” fuelling speculation that Radiohead’s Kid A and Amnesiac could be performed in full to mark Amnesiac’s 25th anniversary.
In recent years, Coachella has experienced slower ticket sales, as some audiences were less impressed by previous line-ups. The 2026 edition seems designed to remedy this, with a headline roster and undercard that aim to attract a wider range of fans.
Tickets go on sale Friday, 19 September at 11:00 a.m. PT (1:00 p.m. ET), with early access available for attendees of Coachella 2024 and 2025 from the day before. Registration for passes is already open.
