The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival will return to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, April 10-12 and April 17-19, 2026, and the full lineup has now been revealed. Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G have been announced as headliners for both weekends, with support from 132 other acts. Following on from last year's headliners Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Post Malone, there was a divide among fans, with many less than enthused about next year's bill, claiming it is the "most boring line-up ever," and the acts "get worse and worse every year." Others, however, dubbed it "electric" and "actually impressive." See the Coachella 2026 line-up below.

Sabrina Carpenter

Sabrina Carpenter is no stranger to Coachella, having made her debut last year, but 2026 will see her take to the stage as a headliner on both Fridays. Despite not wanting to "pit crowds against each other," Sabrina will no doubt be hoping for a lively reaction after admitting that fans in the UK had "more energy" when she compared US and UK crowds following her 2024 performance.
