This year, Coachella is set to take over its usual home, Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, over two consecutive weekends in 10 to 12th April and 17 to 19th April. The major festival has unveiled the long anticipated line-up for the 2026 edition, and plenty of our favourites have made the cut. The headliners of this year’s Coachella will be none other than Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G.
There are plenty of other acts that should be on your radar for, including KATSEYE, FKA Twigs, K-pop royalty Taemin and BIGBANG, as well as The Strokes, Addison Rae, Laufey, The xx, Blood Orange, Pinkpantheress, Central Cee, and countless more. Check out some of the artists we’re most excited for below.
Justin Bieber
Bieberchella is almost upon us! Justin Bieber will make his debut at the festival as Saturday’s headliner. He recently released “Swag” and “Swag II”, both of which came out this year.
Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter will make her return to Coachella as a headliner on Friday. She made her Coachella debut on the main stage in 2024, fresh off the release of her hit single “Espresso”.

BIGBANG will return to the global stage as a three-member act, G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung, performing on Sunday night. The group last appeared together as a trio at the MAMA Awards in November 2024.

PinkPantheress will hit the Coachella stage on Saturday. Her performances are expected to feature viral hits, including “Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2”, “Capable of Love”, and “Pain”, highlighting her signature Y2K-inspired UK garage and pop sound.
