Coachella’s line-up for the coming edition places Latin representation at the center of one of the world’s most watched music festivals. Karol G will headline the desert event, becoming the first Latina woman to top the Coachella bill, while Sabrina Carpenter and Justin Bieber also lead the first weekend’s biggest stages.
The festival will run across two consecutive weekends at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, with performances scheduled from April 10 to April 12 and again from April 17 to April 19. All set times below follow Miami time, and Coachella will stream live performances on YouTube from seven stages, including Coachella Stage, Outdoor Theatre, Sahara, Quasar, Mojave, Gobi and Yuma.
Coachella 2026: key dates and live-stream schedule
Coachella said the live stream starts at 4 p.m. on April 10 Miami time. For the first time, three stages — Coachella Stage, Outdoor Theatre and Sahara — will stream in 4K, adding a higher-quality viewing option for online audiences.
The festival will also keep Coachella TV running with classic performances, documentaries, interviews and behind-the-scenes material from the event’s history. That continuous feed will later include highlights from the new edition.
Main headliners across the two weekends
The opening weekend features a high-profile sequence of headliners and late-night sets. Sabrina Carpenter opens the biggest stage on Friday, Justin Bieber closes Saturday night into early Sunday, and Karol G headlines Sunday into Monday.
The second weekend repeats the desert format with another round of major performances, including Karol G on the Coachella Stage and additional sets from Bigbang, David Byrne, FKA twigs, Fatboy Slim and major electronic acts across the other stages.

Why this lineup stands out for Latin music
Karol G’s headlining slot adds another milestone to the festival’s growing Latin presence. Coachella has already featured major Latin artists in earlier editions, but this booking places a Latin woman at the top of the poster for the first time.
The 2026 schedule also includes several Spanish-language and Latin-linked acts across the bill, such as Morat, Luísa Sonza, Cachirula & Loojan and Los Hermanos Flores. That mix signals a broader booking strategy that keeps global pop, indie rock and electronic music in the same weekend program.
What viewers need to know before the festival starts
The event takes place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, in the Coachella Valley. Coachella uses seven stages to balance blockbuster headliners with experimental and independent acts, and the expanded streaming setup should make it easier for online viewers to follow overlapping performances.
With the live streams beginning at 4 p.m. Miami time on April 10, fans will be able to track the full roster in real time across YouTube and Coachella TV as the festival moves through both weekends and its densely packed stage schedule.
