Coachella Valley Music Festival — Weekend 2

Coachella’s second 2026 weekend is in its final day Sunday, with the Indio festival running through April 19 at the Empire Polo Club. (coachella.com) The festival’s official dates are April 10–12 and April 17–19, 2026, and organizers say this year’s lineup is led by Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G. (coachella.com, visitcalifornia.com) Weekend 2 follows the same multi-day format as Weekend 1, with Friday, Saturday, and Sunday schedules and seven stages available on the official livestream. (coachella.com, coachella.com) For people on the ground, Coachella says general parking opens at 11 a.m. Friday through Sunday and the venue opens around 1 p.m., while Visit California says the first sets usually start around noon. (coachella.com, visitcalifornia.com) The festival is bigger than a concert bill. Coachella’s organizers describe it as a music-and-arts event, and Visit California says the Indio gathering draws nearly 200,000 attendees in recent years with large-scale art installations, food vendors, camping, and celebrity-heavy crowds. (coachella.com, visitcalifornia.com) That scale shapes how fans plan the weekend. Coachella tells attendees to register wristbands in the mobile app before arrival, use the app for maps and custom schedules, and review rules on what can and cannot be brought inside. (coachella.com) Transportation and lodging are part of the equation in Indio’s desert setting. Coachella sells shuttle passes for $150 including service fees, and Visit California says camping passes are sold separately and cover four nights, from Thursday through Monday morning. (coachella.com, visitcalifornia.com) Visit California says desert days can top 100 degrees and nights can fall into the 50s, which is why its festival guide emphasizes packing for heat, sun, and colder overnight conditions. (visitcalifornia.com) For people not in Indio, Coachella is still being broadcast live Sunday. The festival says Weekend 2 streams on YouTube through April 19, with options including multiview, replays, and artist merchandise built into the livestream. (coachella.com) By Sunday night, Weekend 2 closes out Coachella’s 2026 run in Indio, ending two consecutive April weekends that organizers billed as “See you in the desert.” (coachella.com)
