It’s almost Coachella season!
Promotion company Goldenvoice announced the lineup for its 26th annual music and arts festival on Wednesday, November 11, revealing the chart-topping performers who will be taking the stage next year.
Dua Lipa is set to headline at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, on Friday, April 9, 2027, while Tame Impala and SZA received top billing on Saturday, April 10, and Sunday, April 11, respectively. (As has been custom since 2012, the same artists will return to perform the following weekend, April 16 to 18.)
Other names on the poster include Madonna, Zara Larsson, Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, Tiësto, Martin Garrix, Robyn, Role Model, Adéla, Don Toliver, Dom Dolla, Kygo and Daddy Yankee.
The newly unveiled acts will have big shoes to fill, as 2026 headliners Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber and Karol G each brought much-talked-about performances to the desert this past April.
There are only three things that are certain in life: death, taxes and celebrities coupling up at the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Since the ever-growing multi-weekend event was cofounded in 1999, A-list couples such as Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo and Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford have headed to the deserts of […]
Carpenter, 27, brought out special guests including Will Ferrell, Susan Sarandon and her “Bring Your Love” collaborator, Madonna, during her theatrical set, while Bieber, 32, divided fans with a more toned-down show that at one point saw him sit behind a laptop and play some of his early hits on YouTube while singing along. For her part, Karol G, 35, made history as Coachella’s first-ever Latina headliner with an electrifying production.
The 2026 lineup also included Teddy Swims, The Strokes, Addison Rae and Young Thug, among more than 100 other artists.
Prior to taking the stage, Carpenter described her Coachella set as her “most ambitious” to date.
“It’s probably the most time I’ve ever had to actually just sit down and talk about a show as I’m building it,” the “Espresso” singer told Perfect magazine at the time. “Most of the time, you’re really quickly thrust into physical rehearsals, but this time around we started this process around seven months ago. So it’s been a long journey.”
Stars didn’t hold back with their creative outfits at the 2026 Coachella Music & Arts Festival. Bachelor Nation’s Kit Keenan, for example, hand-made her sparkling ensemble with help from her designer mom, Cynthia Rowley. She documented the design process via TikTok earlier this month, sharing behind-the-scenes clips of her mom busy at work sewing pieces […]
Bieber, meanwhile, opted to let his polarizing performance speak for itself, though a source exclusively told Us in April that everything went exactly as planned.
“This is Justin in 2026,” the insider said. “He doesn’t have anyone pushing him to do these huge pop spectacles like a 3D concert movie anymore. It’s all about vibing and enjoying where he’s at now. There’s a lot less pressure on him, which allows him to put on the show that he wants to.”
The source went on to note that the YouTube portion of Bieber’s show was an “homage” to how he got his start in the music industry by covering songs online as a child.
“It was meant to show his journey from posting videos on YouTube to performing on one of the world’s biggest stages,” the insider explained to Us. “[His wife] Hailey thought it was adorable and very Justin.”
