Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival

Coachella’s second weekend is underway in Indio, with the 2026 festival running April 17 through April 19 across the Empire Polo Club. (coachella.com) The official site lists the 2026 event across two weekends, April 10-12 and April 17-19, with the lineup page showing artists including Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone and Travis Scott at the top of the bill. (coachella.com) This weekend’s set times are posted in the festival schedule, and Coachella says fans can use its mobile app to build a custom plan for Weekend 2. The festival is also carrying a seven-stage livestream on YouTube on April 17-19. (coachella.com 1) (coachella.com 2) Coachella is built as a full-site event, not just a concert series. The festival’s art program says curators commission large-scale installations and bring back returning works that turn the polo grounds into landmarks and public gathering spaces. (coachella.com) The logistics are part of the draw. Coachella says general parking opens at 11 a.m. Friday through Sunday, the venue opens at about 1 p.m., and shuttle service is sold as a three-day add-on for $150 with fees included. (coachella.com) Camping remains a major piece of the festival footprint, with car camping, powered camping, Ready-Set tents, Lake Eldorado and La Campana options listed for 2026. The camping page says Group Car Camping is new this year and lets groups arrive separately while keeping a shared plot in Lot 5A. (coachella.com) Pass inventory is tight by the final day of Weekend 2. The passes page shows general admission, general admission plus shuttle, GA 4-Pack and VIP passes marked sold out, while some camping products and suite packages remain listed. (coachella.com) Coachella also directs attendees to register wristbands in the app before arrival, using the six-digit code on the RFID badge. The same guide tells fans to check prohibited items, entrance rules and accessibility maps before heading to the gates. (coachella.com) For disabled attendees, the festival’s accessibility page says Coachella provides services hubs and route guidance on site, and its Accessible+ program is set up to center disabled professionals of color in live-event work and community space at the festival. (coachella.com 1) (coachella.com 2) By Sunday night, the 2026 run will close after two weekends in the desert, with the official schedule, livestream and resale pages still serving fans who are inside the grounds, watching remotely or trying to buy a last-minute pass from another attendee.
