Karol G’s Historic Headline

Karol G is set to close Coachella on Sunday, April 12, becoming the festival’s first Latina headliner. (timeout.com) Coachella’s official 2026 lineup lists Karol G among this year’s three headliners, alongside Sabrina Carpenter and Justin Bieber, for the festival’s two weekends in Indio, California: April 10 to 12 and April 17 to 19. (coachella.com) Coverage published Sunday says Karol G is scheduled to take the stage at about 9:55 p.m. Pacific time on April 12, with her set also available through Coachella’s official YouTube livestream. (usatoday.com) The booking puts a Colombian star at the top of one of the biggest United States festival bills after years of Latin music moving from Coachella side stages to the main closing slot. Bad Bunny became the festival’s first Spanish-language headliner in April 2023. (billboard.com) Karol G’s headline set follows a run in which she became the first Latina named Woman of the Year at Billboard Women in Music in 2025, a milestone Billboard noted when Coachella announced its 2026 lineup in September 2025. (billboard.com) Coachella’s livestream page says all seven stages are streaming live on YouTube across both weekends, with replay options and multiview features for television viewers using the YouTube app. (coachella.com) That means Karol G’s Sunday set is both a festival-closing performance in the desert and a globally distributed stream, with the same headlining slot scheduled again for Sunday, April 19, in weekend two. (timeout.com) By Sunday night, the headline is simple: Coachella gave its final slot to Karol G, and the festival’s first Latina headliner is now the artist closing the weekend. (timeout.com)
