The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, often known as Coachella, has been annually held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, since 1999, and the 2026 event will be no exception.
The iconic event, co-founded by Rick Van Santen and Paul Tollett, will return over two weekends, providing six days of non-stop music and entertainment.
Weekend 1 will run from April 10 to 12, 2026, and Weekend 2 will take place from April 17 to 19, 2026.
Organized by Goldenvoice, some of the biggest music artists from various genres have headlined the iconic festival over the years, including Prince, Paul McCartney, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Bad Bunny, and, most recently, Lady Gaga.
The 2026 lineup promises to be equally exciting, as Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G are set to headline the event. Many other world-famous artists are expected to take to the stage this April.
