Organizers are still booking the third featured slot, insiders reveal
Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G are set to headline Coachella 2026, sources tell Rolling Stone.
The full lineup for Coachella 2026 — which will take place on the weekends of April 10-12 and 17-19 — is likely to be announced later this fall. Reps for festival organizers Goldenvoice did not immediately return Rolling Stone’s request for comment.
Carpenter and Karol G have both performed at Coachella once before. Carpenter made her debut there in April 2024, right after releasing her breakthrough smash, “Espresso.” And Karol G played Coachella for the first time in 2022 when she was supporting her third LP, KG0516. Both were standout bows in their respective years. Hits first reported rumors of their headlining slots.
Carpenter, who is booked by CAA, just released her latest album, Man’s Best Friend, and is set to return to the road this fall, with a headlining set at Austin City Limits followed by a North American headlining run. She also has several South American festival dates scheduled for March 2026.
Karol G, meanwhile, released her most recent album, Tropicoqueta, in June. She spent much of 2023 and 2024 on her massive Mañana Será Bonito Tour, but has yet to announce any new live dates in support of her latest LP. The Latin star is repped by UTA.
Insiders reveal that the final headliner — outside of the after-hours dance music spot — has yet to be nailed down.
