The desert is calling once again. Coachella will return to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, for its 25th edition across two weekends in April 2026, and the newly announced lineup makes it clear this milestone year will be one to remember. With headliners Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G leading the charge, alongside an eclectic mix of rock legends, global icons, and rising stars, the festival is promising fans both nostalgia and discovery in equal measure.
Sabrina Carpenter will headline Fridays (April 10 & April 17). She returns to Coachella after her 2024 debut.
Justin Bieber takes the stage Saturdays (April 11 & April 18). This will be his first time headlining Coachella. He’s coming off the momentum of his Swag and Swag II albums.
Karol G closes out each weekend on Sundays (April 12 & April 19). She comes in following her Grammy win and the release of Tropicoqueta.
