From Bieber to BIGBANG: Coachella 2026 brings global stars to the desert | Full lineup and ticket details
California: The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has announced its 2026 lineup, and the star power is bigger than ever. The two-weekend festival will take place from April 10-12 and April 17-19 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, with Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G and Anyma headlining the main stage.
Star-studded headliners
According to Variety, all four headliners are no strangers to Coachella. Carpenter took the stage in 2025, Karol G electrified the crowd in 2022 with surprise appearances from Becky G and J Balvin, while Bieber has appeared as a guest four different times. Anyma, the multimedia project of Matteo Milleri, previously made a splash in 2024 and returned earlier this year as part of Yeat’s set. His upcoming slot is expected to mirror last year’s Travis Scott-style “Designs the Desert” showcase.
Anyma has had a landmark year, becoming the first electronic artist to secure a residency at Las Vegas’ Sphere and releasing his album The End of Genesys.
Beyond the headliners
Alongside the top billing acts, the 2026 lineup features a sweeping list of global stars. Among them: Disclosure, the XX, the Strokes, Ethel Cain, Addison Rae, Young Thug, FKA Twigs, Clipse, David Byrne, Interpol, Laufey, Iggy Pop, Major Lazer, Moby, Central Cee, Wet Leg, PinkPantheress, Kaskade, Royksopp, Little Simz, Boys Noize, Groove Armada, Labrinth, Giveon, Dijon, Green Velvet, Lykke Li, Duke Dumont, Davido and many more.
Coachella organisers shared the full lineup on Instagram on Tuesday, giving fans a first look at the acts set to take over the desert in 2026.
K-pop at Coachella 2026
The festival will also see a heavy K-pop presence. Legendary group BIGBANG is confirmed for both weekends, marking their long-awaited comeback as they celebrate their 20th anniversary. G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung will perform on April 12 and 19, finally realising their long-postponed 2020 Coachella debut that was cancelled by the pandemic.
SHINee’s Taemin will showcase his solo talent on April 11 and 18, bringing his signature dance and vocal performances to the stage. Meanwhile, global girl group KATSEYE — Daniela, Lara, Manon, Megan, Sophia and Yoonchae — will make their Coachella debut on April 10 and 17, after being formed through the survival show Dream Academy.
Coachella 2026 tickets and festival details
Tickets for the two-weekend Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival will be available from Friday, September 19, at 11 am PT through the official website, www.coachella.com.

Since its launch in 1999, Coachella has grown into one of the world’s most prominent and influential music festivals, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors to the California desert every year.
Looking back at 2025
The announcement follows a high-profile 2025 edition that featured Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone and Travis Scott. Gaga brought the crowd to its feet with a reprise of her Oscar-winning song Shallow from A Star Is Born.
“You know, since the last time I played Coachella, I've had some songs come out... And we filmed a movie, a movie that changed my life, helped me say something I hadn't said before,” she told the crowd before singing. She added, “I'm so excited to sing this for you here tonight, I couldn't wait. I hope you sing it as loud as you can. There ain't nothing like you. Come on, let's get far from the shallow.”
Other 2025 performers included Missy Elliott, Charli XCX, Megan Thee Stallion and Benson Boone, who turned the desert into one of the year’s biggest musical gatherings.
