Coachella just flipped the script by dropping its 2026 lineup earlier than ever before. Traditionally released in January, this year’s announcement came unexpectedly on September 15, giving fans a head start on planning for the festival’s return to Indio, California, on April 10–12 and April 17–19, 2026. 

The headliners are a powerhouse trio: Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G. Bieber’s performance marks his first time headlining Coachella versus just guest performing, which is a significant milestone in his career and huge return amidst his recent album release. Other notable artists on the bill include The Strokes, FKA Twigs, Young Thug, Katseye, Disclosure, Ethel Cain, Dijon, and more, keeping its title of largest multi-genre music festival in America.

Passes go on sale this Friday, September 19, at 11 a.m. PT. Those who attended in 2024 or 2025 can access tickets early, starting Thursday, September 18, at 11 a.m. PT. 

This early lineup drop is a strategic move to build anticipation and ticket sales ahead of the festival. With a diverse lineup and early ticket access, Coachella 2026 is shaping up to be an unforgettable experience!
