This is the roster for the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in 2026. Next year, Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G will be the festival's main acts, taking over the two-weekend schedule in Indio, California, on April 10–12 and April 17–19. Young Thug, The xx, Turnstile, David Byrne, FKA Twigs, Addison Rae, Ethel Cain, and numerous others are all scheduled to perform.

Additionally, "The Bunker Debut of Radiohead Kid A Mnesia" is listed at the bottom of the poster. This Friday, September 19, at 1 p.m. Eastern, passes will go on sale.
Carpenter, who made her debut in 2024 and is now pushed up the billing due to the explosive popularity of her albums Short n' Sweet and Man's Best Friend, is rumoured to be returning to the desert. She has a number of concerts planned for the end of 2025, including stops in New York and Los Angeles. In addition, she has other South American festivals scheduled in the months before Coachella.
This will be Bieber's first Coachella headline performance. Bieber has never before played at Coachella as a billed artist, despite having four times been a guest performer accompanying other musicians onstage, including Tems and Wizkid, Daniel Caesar, Ariana Grande, and Chance the Rapper. In addition, this performance will be his first live performance in more than three years; his most recent performance was in September 2022. Bieber is bringing his guest-heavy albums, Swag and Swag II, which were released this year.
In addition, Karol G is making his second appearance at the Indio event after making his debut in 2022. As of right now, the Coachella performance will be her first full live performance following the release of her most recent album, Tropicoqueta, which was released in June of last year. She was the halftime performance for the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Chargers NFL game in Corinthians Arena in São Paulo, Brazil, in early September.
Travis Scott, Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Post Malone were the main acts at Coachella last year; Green Day and Scott managed to make it on Saturday night. That bill also had Charli XCX, who introduced Billie Eilish, Lorde, and Troye Sivan, and Clairo, who was introduced by Bernie Sanders, but not the visa-stricken FKA Twigs or Massive Attack, who declined a slot after complaining about the festival's environmental effects.
