Coachella 2026 Unveils Headliners: Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Karol G Take the Desert Stage

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has officially revealed its 2026 headliners, and the roster is as ambitious as it is diverse. Taking over the three headline nights in Indio, California, are Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G, leading two weekends of performances from April 10–12 and April 17–19.

For Carpenter, the announcement closes a loop she hinted at during her Coachella debut in 2024, when she expressed her goal to one day be a headliner. Her 2025 album Man’s Best Friend further fueled her rise.

Bieber, meanwhile, will headline Coachella for the first time, riding recent momentum from his albums Swag and Swag II, released in 2025. Karol G returns after her 2022 debut appearance, now placing her full spotlight behind Tropicoqueta.

Supporting acts promise a genre-jumping mix: The Strokes, The XX, FKA Twigs, Young Thug, Addison Rae, David Byrne, PinkPantheress, Katseye, Teddy Swims, Sexyy Red, and more are also on tap. Festival passes go live on September 19 at 11 a.m. PT, with early access for previous attendees beginning a day earlier.

It’s shaping up to be a landmark celebration of pop, Latin, indie, and rap across one of music culture’s biggest stages.
