Who Turned Up at Coachella

Coachella’s second headline this week is who showed up unannounced — and who fans at home will still be able to watch on Weekend 2. (rollingstone.com) (brooklynvegan.com) Rolling Stone said this year’s surprise appearances included Will Ferrell, Huntr/x, and Maddie Ziegler at the Indio festival. The magazine published its roundup on April 16. (rollingstone.com) BrooklynVegan reported on April 16 that Weekend 2’s official livestream schedule includes Nine Inch Noize, Turnstile, Clipse, Iggy Pop, The xx, The Strokes, FKA twigs, David Byrne, Lykke Li, Geese, and Joyce Manor. The stream is tied to Coachella’s second weekend, which runs April 17 to April 19. (brooklynvegan.com) (digital.abcaudio.com) That split captures how Coachella now lands in two places at once: inside the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, and on a multi-stage livestream built for people who never enter the grounds. Consequence reported that the 2026 stream covers all seven stages and starts daily at 7:00 p.m. Eastern time, or 4:00 p.m. Pacific time. (consequence.net) The guest list also shows how much of the festival story now comes from cameos rather than the poster alone. Other outlets’ recaps from Weekend 1 added names including Lizzo, Joe Jonas, Snoop Dogg, Becky G, Camila Cabello, and Jennifer Lopez. (people.com) (thefader.com) Weekend 1 ran April 10 to April 12, and Weekend 2 begins Friday, April 17. Coachella’s pass information page lists those 2026 dates and treats each weekend as a separate three-day festival pass. (coachella.com) The livestream lineup is not identical to the full on-site lineup. BrooklynVegan’s list is a watch-at-home guide, while other previews said the broader festival bill also includes artists such as Interpol, Wet Leg, Black Flag, Suicidal Tendencies, and Young Thug across the second weekend. (brooklynvegan.com) (readdork.com) So the Coachella roll call now has two parts: the artists and guests who already generated headlines in Weekend 1, and the sets scheduled to reach viewers when Weekend 2 starts on April 17.
