Coachella is set to launch its first weekend with a dazzling array of musical talent, showcasing some of the industry’s most celebrated artists.
Opening the festivities for Coachella 2026, Sabrina Carpenter promises a performance she calls her “most ambitious show” to date. Meanwhile, Karol G is poised to make festival history as the first Latina to headline the event. Adding to the excitement, Justin Bieber is marking his return to the spotlight as a headliner for the very first time this weekend.
The star power doesn’t stop there, as an impressive lineup of performers will join the headliners. Acts such as Katseye, Blood Orange, Geese, Taemin, PinkPantheress, and FKA twigs are set to take the stage. The official start of Coachella 2026 is at 4:00 p.m. PDT on Friday, April 10, with performances from Jack White, Zulan, and Los Hermanos Flores kicking off the musical extravaganza.
However, some artists will be absent from the lineup. Katseye has announced that Manon Bannerman will not be performing with them this weekend. In February, Bannerman shared her decision to step back to focus on personal well-being, and HYBE has confirmed that “Manon remains on hiatus,” meaning she won’t be joining her bandmates on the Sahara stage at 8:00 p.m. PDT.
Additionally, the Lambrini Girls have pulled out of their Coachella slot following a serious injury to band member Phoebe Lunny. After fracturing her neck and sustaining an “acute brain injury,” Lunny has been advised against flying or performing for six weeks, necessitating their withdrawal from the festival.
Carpenter will be taking the Coachella stage at 9:05 p.m.PDT on Friday, April 10. But fans of the “Manchild” singer don’t have to be at the festival in order to tune in. Here is everything you need to know to livestream Coachella from home.
