Coachella's 2026 headliners are all first-timers and the poster is wild

Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G top Coachella's 25th edition, with The xx reuniting, Nine Inch Noize debuting, and Karol G making history as the first Latina headliner.

Coachella dropped the 2026 poster and it is one of those lineups you have to read twice. Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G are headlining, and none of the three has ever topped this bill before.

Karol G is the history maker here. First Latina artist to headline Coachella, closing Sundays both weekends. Sabrina gets Fridays, Bieber gets Saturdays, which is his first official Coachella performance ever, by the way. The man has only ever shown up as somebody else's surprise guest. Plus Anyma is back with the world premiere of something called Aeden.

The undercard is where it gets stupid. The xx playing together for the first time in eight years. The Strokes back after more than a decade. Nine Inch Nails and Boys Noize doing a joint set called Nine Inch Noize. Turnstile, Iggy Pop, Devo, David Byrne, Interpol, Wet Leg, FKA twigs, Moby, KATSEYE, Addison Rae, BIGBANG, and BINI, the first Filipino group to ever play the fest.

April 10 to 12 and 17 to 19 in Indio, and it sold out within a week. The 25th Coachella is not playing around.
