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. 

  • There are advance registration and loyalty sales for those who attended/bought passes in 2024/2025.

  • Both weekends will feature the same artists, art, food, etc. 


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.
