The same page says Weekend 1 goes on sale at 11 a.m. Pacific on May 1, with Weekend 2 also available that day. (coachella.com) NME reported the 2027 announcement days after this year’s festival closed, with organizers moving quickly to lock in next year’s dates while 2026 highlights were still circulating online. Its recap pointed to sets by Clipse, Iggy Pop, KATSEYE, Jack White and a reunion by the xx among the moments that kept attention on the festival after the final weekend.

Vogue Hong Kong highlighted Billie Eilish bringing out Justin Bieber, alongside appearances involving Charli XCX, Troye Sivan and Lorde.

Stagecoach opens there Friday, April 24, and runs through Sunday, April 26, with Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson and Post Malone as the main headliners. (usatoday.com) Stagecoach is also leaning hard into at-home viewing. The festival’s livestream page says Amazon Music and YouTube will carry the 2026 stream across April 24-26.
