Who headlined Coachella

Coachella’s first weekend put three marquee names at the top of the bill: Sabrina Carpenter on Friday, Justin Bieber on Saturday and Karol G on Sunday. (coachella.com, billboard.com) The festival is running April 10-12 and April 17-19, 2026, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. Coachella’s official site and local coverage listed those three artists as the Weekend One headliners. (coachella.com, usatoday.com) Saturday’s Day 2 coverage centered on Bieber’s headlining set, with The Strokes and Jack White also drawing major attention in live reports and livestream guides. (latimes.com, latimes.com) Karol G’s Sunday slot carried added weight because Time Out Los Angeles reported she became Coachella’s first Latina headliner. Glamour also identified her as one of the festival’s marquee names for Weekend One. (timeout.com, glamour.com) The 2026 lineup also widened the definition of a “headliner” weekend by pairing those three with other top-line acts including Anyma, The xx, The Strokes and Young Thug on the poster announced before the festival opened. (coachellavalley.com, billboard.com) Coachella is also pushing the event beyond the polo field. The official livestream is running across seven stages on YouTube for both April weekends, turning the headliners into the festival’s biggest global draw, not just its biggest in-person sets. (coachella.com, deadline.com) On the ground, Coachella’s amenities page singled out headliner merchandise tents for Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Anyma and Karol G, another sign of who the festival is treating as its top-billed acts in 2026. (coachella.com) Weekend One continues through Sunday, April 12, before the same festival returns for Weekend Two on April 17-19. The names at the top of the poster are the same ones carrying Coachella through both weekends: Carpenter, Bieber and Karol G. (coachella.com, coachella.com)
