Sabrina Carpenter headlines Coachella 2026

Sabrina Carpenter delivered a rollicking and raunchy headline performance at Coachella, fulfilling a promise she made to return to the main stage.

Her set was a tribute to Old Hollywood and featured monologues from Susan Sarandon and appearances by Will Ferrell and Sam Elliott.

While the performance was a hit with fans, the festival's first night was marred by strong winds that forced the cancellation of Anyma's late-night set.

Other notable performers included the girl group KATSEYE and the rock band Turnstile.
