Coachella is officially back, and the 2026 lineup has fans losing their minds. The festival dropped the star-studded list early Tuesday (September 16) morning.

The festival, running from April 10 to 12 and April 17 to 19 in Indio, California, promises an unforgettable mix of music, fashion moments, and star power. Tickets go on sale September 19, with presales starting September 18.

Pop princess Sabrina Carpenter is expected to grace the stage on both Fridays (April 10 & 17). Her return to the Coachella spotlight comes after her viral performance in 2024. Carpenter performed her hit single "Espresso" and concluded her set with one of her notorious "Nonsense" outros, in which she manifested and declared that she would headline the festival one day.

"Made his knees so weak he had to spread mine," she sings. "He's drinking my bath water like it's red wine/ Coachella, see you back here when I headline," Carpenter added, as the crowd lost its mind. 

Saturday, April 11 and 18 will be historic, to say the least. Justin Bieber will finally headline his own Coachella set. While fans have loved his streamed albums SWAG and SWAG II, Bieber has largely stayed under the radar for live performances in recent years, making this announcement even more exciting.

Karol G will close out each unforgettable weekend, joined by an eclectic mix of artists including Young Thug, Laufey, Iggy Pop, FKA Twigs, and Wet Leg. 

Other festival highlights include The Strokes, Addison Rae, Sombr, David Byrne, Teddy Swims, The XX, Ethel Cain, and KATSEYE, ensuring fans of pop, rock, hip-hop, and indie all have something to celebrate.

Fans have taken to social media to express their excitement. One fan wrote, “Justin Bieber at Coachella? I never thought I’d see the day – tickets, I’m coming for you!” Another shared, “Sabrina is going to SLAY. Her 2024 sets were everything, and I can’t wait for more.”

Many are also buzzing about the festival’s new group camping option, which allows parties of 10 or more to enjoy the experience together.

Beyond the music, Coachella remains a hub for fashion and celebrity sightings. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made one of their most iconic couple appearances in 2024, while Vanessa Hudgens and the Kardashians continue to set trend-forward festival styles. Hudgens once told Access Hollywood about her Coachella looks. 

"It's honestly whatever I find that year, whatever I'm into that year," the HSM alum explained. "Just kind of anything goes, and that's why I love festivals, because it's truly a place to express yourself where judgment is out the window." 

With such a stacked, genre-spanning lineup and a chance to catch some of the world’s biggest stars live, Coachella 2026 is shaping up to be the festival fans have been dreaming about. Tickets are expected to sell fast, and early birds will want to act quickly.
