(timeout.com) Coachella’s 2026 festival ran across two weekends, April 10-12 and April 17-19, at the Empire Polo Club, and the official lineup listed BIGBANG alongside headliners Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber and Karol G. (coachellavalley.com) Time Out Los Angeles said the April 19 set followed the group’s April 12 performance and pointed viewers to the YouTube Outdoor Theatre livestream scheduled from 10:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on Sunday night. (timeout.com) The return carried extra weight because Time Out described Coachella as BIGBANG’s first full-scale group performance since the 2017 “Last Dance” tour. The outlet also tied the booking to the group’s 20th anniversary and to a canceled 2020 Coachella appearance that never happened. (timeout.com) A fan-edited setlist from Weekend 1 shows the April 12 show opened with “Bang Bang Bang,” “Fantastic Baby” and “Sober,” then moved through “Haru Haru,” “Lies,” “Bad Boy,” “We Like 2 Party” and “Still Life.” The same setlist logged solo spots for Taeyang, G-Dragon and Daesung. (setlist.fm) Time Out’s Weekend 2 guide said that first-weekend set served as the clearest template for April 19, while noting that the second show’s songs were not officially confirmed in advance. (timeout.com) BIGBANG’s set landed in a weekend that drew fresh attention for surprise guests and repeat-viewing momentum. Variety reported that Weekend 2 featured appearances from Madonna, SZA, Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg, Olivia Rodrigo and Billy Idol, and said the second weekend was “crushing” the first. (variety.com) Coachella also kept its global audience in view beyond the desert. Goldenvoice said YouTube returned in 2026 as the festival’s exclusive livestream partner for both weekends, sending sets from Indio to viewers watching from home. (coachellavalley.com) For BIGBANG, the April 19 set closed the festival’s second Sunday with a group performance that Time Out had already framed as one of Weekend 2’s biggest draws. (timeout.com)
