Surprise! The 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival lineup is out and it’s topped by pop stars.<\/p>\n
Sabrina Carpenter<\/a>, Justin Bieber<\/a> and Karol G<\/a> will headline the twin weekends of the festival, which return to the Empire Polo Club in Indio April 10-12 and 17-19, 2026.<\/p>\n Other notable acts include elder statesmen such as Iggy Pop, David Byrne<\/a> and Devo<\/a>, rock acts including the Strokes and Turnstile<\/a>, pop star Addison Rae, EDM superstar Kaskade, rapper Young Thug and dozens of others.<\/p>\n The bottom of the festival poster also announces something called “The Bunker Debut of Radiohead Kid A Mnesia.” The British rock band Radiohead recently announced European tour dates.<\/p>\n At the top of the poster for Friday, listed between the XX and Disclosure is an act called Nine Inch Noize. German producer Boys Noize joined Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails\u2019 on the band\u2019s recent tour and also labeled a live collaboration as Nine Inch Noize System<\/u><\/a> on Instagram.<\/p>\n Since its inception in 1999, Coachella has included a diverse range of musical styles, but also less-than-expected acts, such as the colorful monsters of the show Yo Gabba Gabba! and the L.A. Phil earlier this year. For 2026, another beloved L.A. institution is on the bill: Bob Baker Marionettes, of the Bob Baker Marionette Theater<\/u><\/a>, are listed on the poster for Friday.<\/p>\n Coachella has given a spotlight to some of the world\u2019s biggest K-pop and J-pop acts in recent years and in 2026 acts including Bigbang, Fujii Kaze<\/a>, and Taemin<\/a>.<\/p>\n The 2026 edition is also a makeup show of sorts for FKA Twigs, who had to cancel her 2025 North American tour<\/u><\/a>, including stops at Coachella, due to visa issues. Tickets start at $649 for a three-day pass for Weekend 1 and $549 for Weekend 2. (If you buy a 4-pack of tickets you can save $10 per pass.) VIP passes for Weekend 1 start at $1,299 and are $1,199 for Weekend 2.<\/p>\n New for 2026 is a group camping option, which allows people who want to camp together to arrive at different times. There\u2019s a 10-spot minimum and a 20-spot maximum. Each camping spot is $160.<\/p>\n Passes go on sale to the general public at 11 a.m. Pacific on Friday, Sept. 19 at www.coachella.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n See the full lineup<\/a>.<\/p>\n This story is developing.<\/i><\/p>\n Get notified when the biggest stories in Hollywood, culture and entertainment go live.
