The 2026 edition of Coachella is set to kick off later this week, with performances coming from Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G and more – and Jack White has been added as a last-minute line-up addition.
Check out the details about the line-up, stage times and how to watch online below.
This year will see the festival return to its usual spot in the desert in Indio, California, and will happen across two weekends. The first weekend is set to take place on April 10, 11 and 12, and the second will be on April 17, 18 and 19.
As well as the aforementioned headliners, other acts slated to perform include The xx, Nine Inch Noize (Nine Inch Nails and Boys Noize), Disclosure, 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.
Late last night (April 6), organisers finally revealed the set times for the first weekend, and also added Jack White to the bill as a last-minute surprise. He is set to perform on the Saturday (April 11), and will be delivering a 45-minute set at the Mojave Tent at 3pm.
A last minute, unexpected addition for the Saturday afternoon slot is becoming a tradition from Coachella organisers. Previously, both Ed Sheeran and Weezer – who like White, are usually festival headliners – were booked for a surprise slot on a Saturday afternoon. The announcement comes just days after White released the two new tracks on Friday – ‘G.O.D. And The Broken Ribs’ and ’Derecho Demonico’ – and played them live on SNL.
While the artists on the bill are set to perform at roughly the exact same time at the second weekend of Coachella, it isn’t yet clear whether or not Jack White will be appearing again for the second part of the festival.
Alongside countless music performances, including Justin Bieber being predicted to play both of his ‘Swag’ albums in full, there is also the “bunker debut of Radiohead Kid A Mnesia”. After some confusion about what the latter would entail, organisers have confirmed that it will be “a 75-minute large-format film made from thousands of fragments created by Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood during the recording of ‘Kid A’ and ‘Amnesiac’: sketches, paintings, collages, audio recordings and handwritten notes”.
Ahead of the festival kicking off this week, you can check out the latest updates on the stage times, line-up and plans to stream live performances below.
When is Coachella 2026?
The annual music bash is set to return to the usual Empire Polo Club site in Indio, California. The location is set in the Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert and will span across two weekends. This year, Coachella will run between April 10-12, and 17-19.
Who’s playing Coachella 2026?
The headliners for this year are Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G, and Justin Bieber. For the latter, the set comes on the heels of him releasing two surprise ‘Swag’ albums, and he is expected to play both in full during his set on Saturday.
Nine Inch Nails will be joining forces with tour opener Boys Noize for a unique set under the name ‘Nine Inch Noize’, and other sets include a last minute appearance from Jack White, and performances from The Strokes, David Bryne, Turnstile, Geese, FKA Twigs and more.
What are the stage times for Coachella weekend one 2026?

How do I watch Coachella 2026 online?
As usual, YouTube will be livestreaming the festival via the Coachella YouTube channel.
Alongside showing the sets as they happen, the channel will also be repeating the livestream line-up from each day following the final set of the night. The re-run will play until the livestream returns the next day. Festival highlights will also be available on demand.
Has anyone dropped out of Coachella 2026?
At the time of writing, only one person has pulled out of the festival after being announced as part of the line-up. This is Solomun, who announced that he would be dropping out of the event as he needs to take time to recover from ear surgery.
The appearance from FKA Twigs will take place as expected, and comes after she told fans last year that she was “devastated” to share that she would be backing out of both the 2025 festival and her US tour dates due to visa issues.
How do I get tickets for Coachella 2026?
