The 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival<\/a> lineup has been unveiled. Sabrina Carpenter<\/a>, Justin Bieber, and Karol G<\/a> are heading to the desert next year as the festival\u2019s headliners, topping the two-weekend bill in Indio, California, on April 10-12 and 17-19. Also slated to perform are Young Thug, the XX, Turnstile, David Byrne, FKA twigs, Addison Rae, Ethel Cain, and dozens more. See the festival poster below.<\/p>\n As rumored<\/a>, Carpenter returns to the desert after making her debut in 2024, now promoted up the billing after the whirlwind success of her albums Short n\u2019 Sweet<\/em><\/a> and Man\u2019s Best Friend<\/em><\/a>. She is set to close out 2025 with a string of dates including residencies in New York and Los Angeles. She also has a smattering of South American festivals booked in the months leading up to Coachella.<\/p>\n This is also Karol G\u2019s second stop at the Indio festival, following the Colombian superstar\u2019s 2022 debut appearance. Her latest album, Tropicoqueta<\/em><\/a>, came out last June, and, as things stand, the Coachella set is scheduled to be her first full live show behind the album. In early September, she performed at Corinthians Arena in S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil, as the halftime act at the NFL game between Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers.<\/p>\n Last year\u2019s Coachella headliners<\/a> were Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone, and Travis Scott, with Green Day and Scott both squeezed in on the Saturday night. Others on that bill included Charli XCX\u2014who brought out<\/a> Billie Eilish, Lorde, and Troye Sivan\u2014and Clairo, who got a Bernie Sanders introduction<\/a>, but not the visa-beleaguered FKA twigs<\/a> or Massive Attack, who turned down a slot after lamenting the festival\u2019s environmental impact<\/a>.<\/p>\n Read Paul A.
