Coachella 2026 kicks off

The opening day was marked by challenging weather, with strong winds forcing the cancellation of DJ Anyma's late-night set.

Despite the disruption, festivalgoers enjoyed surprise appearances and a powerful performance from the band Turnstile.

Justin Bieber is set to headline Saturday night, marking a major milestone in his return to the stage after a multi-year hiatus.

However, many attendees have voiced frustration over the 'criminal' cost of food and drink at the Empire Polo Club venue.
