The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is set to make history in 2026 with Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, and Karol G as the festival’s headliners. This marks the first time all three artists will headline the iconic desert festival, promising an unforgettable weekend of music and performance.

Coachella 2026 will feature an exciting and diverse lineup, with Bieber, Carpenter, and Karol G leading the charge. Other notable acts include The xx, Disclosure, Teddy Swims, Sexyy Red, Central Cee, Ethel Cain, Dijon, and Nine Inch Noize on Friday; The Strokes, Giveon, Addison Rae, Labrinth, and David Byrne on Saturday; and Young Thug, Bigbang, Major Lazer, Iggy Pop, FKA Twigs, and Subtronics on Sunday.
Italian DJ Anyma will take the unofficial fourth headliner spot on Saturday night after Bieber, debuting a new show called Æden, following in the footsteps of Travis Scott’s headline slot in 2025.
Who Is Headlining
Justin Bieber: The Canadian pop sensation will take the stage at Coachella for the first time as a headliner, following the surprise release of his new album Swag II, a follow-up to his 2023 release Swag. Bieber’s Coachella performance will be his first full concert since he canceled his Justice tour in 2022 due to health concerns. Bieber took a break from touring, prioritizing his health after experiencing exhaustion while on stage.
Sabrina Carpenter: Returning to Coachella after her debut in 2025, Carpenter’s set is highly anticipated following the success of her album Man’s Best Friend, which was praised for its unique pop sound. Carpenter’s breakthrough moment in 2025, followed by her recent album, has cemented her as one of the most exciting voices in pop music.
Karol G: The Colombian superstar will make history as the first Latina to headline Coachella. After making her debut at the festival in 2022, Karol G has become one of the biggest names in Latin music. Her headlining set will be the first full show behind her fifth album Tropicoqueta, released earlier in the year.
