Karol G headlines Coachella

Karol G closed Coachella’s first weekend on Sunday night, becoming the first Latina artist to headline the festival’s main stage. (latimes.com) Her set capped Day 3 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, on April 12, the final night of Weekend 1. Coachella’s 2026 festival is scheduled across two weekends, April 10 to 12 and April 17 to 19. (coachellavalley.com) Coachella booked Karol G alongside Justin Bieber and Sabrina Carpenter as this year’s top-line acts, putting a Spanish-language pop and reggaeton star in one of the festival’s most visible slots. Goldenvoice announced the 2026 lineup in September 2025. (coachellavalley.com) Sunday’s official livestream spread across all seven stages and included Karol G, FKA twigs, Iggy Pop, BIGBANG and Wet Leg. Coachella said this year’s stream would again carry every stage, with the Coachella Stage, Outdoor Theatre and Sahara available in 4K resolution. (consequence.net 1) (consequence.net 2) The festival’s Sunday schedule also changed after Anyma lost his Friday midnight slot because of strong winds affecting the stage build. Billboard reported the cancellation came about 15 minutes after his scheduled start on April 10. (billboard.com) By Sunday, local coverage said Anyma had been moved onto the closing-night schedule after that weather disruption. The reshuffle turned the last day of Weekend 1 into a catch-up night as well as a finale. (pressenterprise.com) Justin Bieber, the other marquee pop headliner on this year’s bill, is slated to perform on both Coachella weekends. Entertainment coverage published before Sunday’s close framed his 2026 booking as a return to the festival’s top line.
