The event will mark the festival&#8217;s first ever television show<br \/>screening. The Season 3 debut of the HBO original drama will be available for festivalgoers on a first-come, first served basis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The series follows a group of high school students navigating relationships, addiction and identity in a visually stylized drama.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On Saturday, with Justin Bieber headlining, Coachella was dubbed &#8220;Bieberchella&#8221; with some festivalgoers jokingly complaining about being stuck in long lines of traffic awash in &#8220;Belieber&#8221; pilgrims, as the singer&#8217;s fans are known.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But some complained that his set was &#8220;lazy&#8221; and relied too heavily on YouTube for what some likened to &#8220;YouTube karaoke.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Just hours before Bieber took the stage, rising New York indie band Geese performed a cover of his hit &#8220;Baby&#8221; &#8212; drawing fans to what music critics say could be &#8220;the next big rock band, the act that could shake the dust off of a stale and fractured genre.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">A collaboration between the veteran industrial-alt band Nine Inch Nails and German Iraqi electronic producer Alex Ridha, who records under the name Boys Noize, became the well-received Day 2 performance by &#8220;Nine Inch Noize.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Other highlights included Pink Pantheress, the Strokes, Giveon, Addison Rae, Morat, and singer-songwriter Sombr, who was joined by Smashing Pumpkins&#8217; frontman Billy Corgan on the group&#8217;s hit &#8220;1979.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Critics also praised old schooler David Byrne and veteran rocker Jack White &#8211; who was only added to the Day 2 lineup on Tuesday &#8212; for showing the Gen Zers how it&#8217;s done.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sabrina Carpenter headlined Friday and unveiled &#8220;Sabrina&#8217;s Pit Stop,&#8221; a pop-up experience created in partnership with Airbnb. The installation, located at 82338 CA-111 and open through Sunday, features photo-themed vignettes, custom slushie stations and merchandise for sale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;This is a full circle moment for me. I wouldn&#8217;t be here without my fans, so I wanted to create something special just for them. It&#8217;s not your typical pit stop &#8212; I wanted it to feel like a surrealist fantasy land of mine,&#8221; Carpenter said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Among the other artists performing across eight stages Friday were The xx, Disclosure, Lykke Li, Joyce Manor, Moby, Swae Lee, Sexyy Red and Katseye.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">A new addition to this year&#8217;s festival is &#8220;The Bunker Debut of Radiohead Motion Picture House Kid A Mnesia,&#8221; an installation that features a 75-minute large format film made of thousands of fragments created by Radiohead<br \/>lead singer Thom Yorke and English artist Stanley Donwood during the recordings of albums &#8220;Kid A&#8221; and &#8220;Amnesiac.&#8221; Sketches, paintings, collages, audio recordings and handwritten notes will also be available.<br \/>Radiohead is not scheduled to perform at this year&#8217;s festival.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Indio Police Department on Thursday urged attendees and nearby residents call the department&#8217;s non-emergency line for concert-related concerns such as loud music or excessive noise, parking or traffic issues and loitering.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The non-emergency line is at 760-391-4051.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Weekend 2 is scheduled for April 17-19 at 81-800 51st Ave. Additional festival information can be found at coachella.com.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Copyright 2026, City News Service, Inc.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thousands of festivalgoers will descend on the Empire Polo Club in Indio Sunday for the last day of Weekend 1 of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, featuring a wide range of artists across differentGenres.
