Today (September 16), Coachella announced the complete line-up for next year’s festival, set to take place over two weekends in April. Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G – who were previously speculated to headline – have been confirmed to close out the Friday and Sunday shows respectively, while Justin Bieber headlines on both Saturdays.

Other acts slated to perform include The XX, Nine Inch Noize (Nine Inch Nails and Boys Noize), Disclose, Turnstile, Ethel Cain, KATSEYE, The Strokes, Addison Rae, Labrinth, David Byrne, Interpol, Alex G, BIGBANG, Laufey, Iggy Pop, FKA Twigs, Wet Leg, Clipse and more. Anyma is set to host a special performance, dubbed Æden.

The poster also reveals the “bunker debut of Radiohead Kid A Mnesia”, suggesting Radiohead’s ‘Kid A Mnesia’ art exhibition will be brought to the Californian desert.

Coachella 2026 will take place between April 10 and 12, and again on April 17 to 19. As for tickets, you’ll be able to get yours here.

This marks the first major show Bieber has been announced for since he cancelled his ‘Justice’ world tour in 2023, and revealed in 2022 that he was suffering from Ramsay Hunt syndrome. It will also mark his first time as an official performer at Coachella, though he has popped up as a special guest for other acts’ sets in the past.

Coachella 2025 was headlined by Lady Gaga, Green Day and Post Malone, with additional performances from the likes of Charli XCX, Travis Scott, Kneecap, Tyla, Megan Thee Stallion, Sam Fender, Ed Sheeran, Beth Gibbons, Misfits, Benson Boone, Japanese Breakfast, The Prodigy, solo performances from BLACKPINK‘s Jennie and Lisa and many more.

Among the headlines from Coachella 2025 were a mini-feud between fans of Charli XCX and Green Day. Tensions rose after Green Day closed out the main stage on day two of Coachella, with Charli performing right before them. At an afterparty, Charli XCX ruffled feathers by donning a “Miss Should Be Headliner” sash, which was interpreted as a dig towards Green Day.

Elsewhere, Kneecap turned heads as well. During their week one performance, their livestream was cut out after they voiced their support for a free Palestine, and also led the crowd in a provocative anti-Margaret Thatcher chant. “Not only was that cut,” they later said, referring to the Thatcher refrain, “our messaging on the US-backed genocide in Gaza somehow never appeared on screens either.” This incident kicked off a wave of criticism towards the group, even resulting in tour cancellations and even Kneecap’s Mo Chara facing terror charges in the UK.
