COACHELLA 2026: LINEUP, TICKETS & RADIOHEAD
Coachella 2026: All the Highlights
The Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival is set for two weekends in Indio, California: April 10-12 and April 17-19, 2026.
Headliners
The main acts leading the bill are:
-
Sabrina Carpenter — returning, following her 2024 debut.
-
Justin Bieber — making his first‐ever scheduled performance as a Coachella headliner.
-
Karol G — also returning, promoted off her recent album Tropicoqueta and bringing her Latin star power.
These three will headline across the two weekends (i.e. same headliners both weekends).
Other Major Acts & Highlights
Beyond the top names, the 2026 lineup mixes genres heavily, with big names from pop, rock, electronic, hip-hop, and alternative. Some of the standout acts include:
-
The Strokes
-
FKA twigs
-
Iggy Pop
-
Young Thug
-
Lykke Li, Moby, Sexyy Red
-
PinkPantheress, Alex G, Little Simz
-
New entries like Katseye, SOMBR, etc.
There’s also a special segment called “The Bunker Debut of Radiohead Kid A Mnesia,” which suggests Radiohead will present a special performance around their reissue of Kid A and Amnesiac.
Why This Lineup Is Noteworthy

Genre diversity: Coachella continues its pattern of blending pop, indie, rock, electronic, and Latin music — appealing to a broad audience.
-
Latin influence & representation: With Karol G headlining, it highlights increasing Latin presence.
-
Big names returning & first-time headliners: Justin Bieber as a headliner is a big deal, as is seeing some newer names elevated to the main stage.
-
Special & experimental elements: The Radiohead “Bunker” debut is intriguing — mixing nostalgic reissues with new live experiences.
Practical Details

Tickets go on sale on Friday, September 19, 2025, at 11 AM PT.

Radiohead & “Kid A Mnesia” at Coachella 2026
-
On the official Coachella 2026 lineup poster, there is a special mention: “The Bunker Debut of Radiohead Kid A Mnesia.”
-
Kid A Mnesia is a reissue/compilation by Radiohead that combines their albums Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001).
-
It is not entirely clear whether this means a full live set by Radiohead, or a special presentation/exhibition, or performance of selected tracks/visuals associated with Kid A Mnesia.
-
There is some speculation: some sources think this might be more of an artistic or multimedia “debut” experience rather than a standard Radiohead concert slot.
So, if you're a Radiohead fan, this is something worth keeping an eye on — it could be special, but details (length, set-list, stage, etc.) haven’t been fully confirmed yet.
