The desert is calling again—this time with one of the most stacked Coachella 2026 rosters in recent memory.
Per PEOPLE, on Monday, September 15, organizers unveiled the official Coachella 2026 lineup, confirming Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G as headliners for the April festival in Indio, California.
Carpenter, who made headlines when she debuted “Espresso” on the Coachella stage in 2024, now returns as a marquee act. The 26-year-old is set to headline both April 10 and April 17, performing songs off her latest album Man’s Best Friend, which dropped in August.
Bieber, now 31, will follow on April 11 and April 18 with music from his recent double release, Swag and Swag II.
Rounding out the headline trio is Karol G, who will close the festival weekends on April 12 and April 19. Fresh off her Grammy win for Best Música Urbana album and the release of Tropicoqueta, she celebrated the announcement on Instagram, writing, “Coachella 2026, LA BICHOTA ES HEADLINER🔥 Nos vemos en el desierto.”
The headliners are only part of the draw. Legacy acts like the Strokes, David Byrne, and Iggy Pop share space on the poster with younger voices reshaping the sound of now.
PinkPantheress, FKA Twigs, BIGBANG, Teddy Swims, and Sexyy Redd are all confirmed, while Addison Rae—who made her Coachella debut in 2024 alongside Charli XCX—returns with tracks from her first album, Addison.
Two festival newcomers are also poised to make an impression. KATSEYE, the viral group that caught attention with a Gap campaign set to Kelis’ “Milkshake” will hit the stage for the first time. SOMBR, whose debut album I Barely Know Her landed in August, brings alt-pop heat after breaking through with “back to friends.”
The electronic contingent is strong, too. Kaskade and Major Lazer will deliver their signature high-energy sets, while Moby returns to the desert for the first time in years. Meanwhile, the xx, Nine Inch Noize, and genre-bending SOMBR add texture to an already diverse lineup.
Passes go on sale Friday, September 19 at 11 a.m. PT. As the festival wrote on Instagram: “Hard launch. Register now for access.”
