Coachella is going pop in a big way for 2026. Festival organizers confirmed that Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G will headline the desert mega-festival in April, each leading one night of the event. It will be the first time any of the three superstars have topped the Coachella bill. Adding an electronic flourish, Italian DJ-producer Anyma will fill the festival’s unofficial fourth headliner slot, debuting an immersive late-night show called “Æden” on the Saturday after Bieber’s set.
The lineup announcement arrived earlier than usual and is packed with cross-genre star power. Carpenter, 26, had a breakout year with her album Man’s Best Friend. After making her Coachella debut on a smaller stage in 2024, she vowed “Coachella, see you back here when I headline” — a promise she echoed this week by captioning her Instagram post “woman of my word.” Bieber, 31, is returning to the stage after a years-long hiatus; he canceled his last tour in 2022 due to health issues. Now the pop superstar appears ready for a comeback, fresh off surprise-releasing a 44-song album Swag II just two weeks ago.
On Sunday night, Colombian powerhouse Karol G will close out Coachella 2026, making history as the festival’s first Latina headliner. The reggaeton star celebrated by declaring, “LA BICHOTA ES HEADLINER… nos vemos en el desierto ✨” (“The Bichota is headliner… see you in the desert”) on social media. Her set will double as a live debut of her new album Tropicoqueta. Meanwhile, organizers unveiled an eclectic undercard: notable performers include rockers The Strokes, rap star Young Thug, punk legend Iggy Pop and even TikTok phenom Addison Rae, among others. Coachella 2026 runs April 10–12 and April 17–19 in Indio, California.
