Coachella 2026 Headliners Revealed: Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Karol G Lead Star-Studded Lineup
Coachella 2026 has officially dropped its headliners, and the buzz is real: Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G will headline the festival during the two weekends of April 10-12 and April 17-19 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. Fans are already picking which headliner set they’re most hyped for.
Sabrina Carpenter returns after her 2024 debut, stepping up to headline on both Fridays (April 10 and 17). Her recent album Man’s Best Friend showed off a more mature pop identity, and she celebrated the headliner billing by sharing that she’d “manifested” this moment ever since she ended her set two years ago with a promise to return.
Justin Bieber, meanwhile, is grabbing his first official headlining role at Coachella. Though he’s performed there before as a guest, this is his weekend-main-stage moment, riding high off new albums Swag and Swag II. He teased the announcement on social media with a throwback line: “Member used to drive a Yukon.”
Karol G rounds out the trio, closing out both Sundays. She’s continuing to push the envelope in Latin and global music markets, especially following her latest album Tropicoqueta. She’s also set to make history as one of the few Latina headliners at Coachella.
Other stand out acts include The Strokes, Young Thug, FKA Twigs, PinkPantheress, BigBang (celebrating their 20th anniversary with a full-group Coachella appearance), Ethel Cain, KATSEYE, Moby, Major Lazer, and lots more. It’s a global-heavy lineup, blending pop, indie, electronic, punk, and Latin influences.
Coachella, founded in 1999, has long been a stage where mainstream meets underground, where big debuts happen, and genre boundaries blur. Over the years it’s seen headliners like Beyoncé, Radiohead, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, and more. With this 2026 roster, Coachella continues to push into global headliner territory: celebrating diversity, breaking firsts (like Karol G’s landmark role), and making sure the desert remains the place everyone watches come April.
