Coachella 2026 highlights and controversy

Karol G became the first Latina to headline the festival, delivering an electrifying show focused on female empowerment.

In contrast, Justin Bieber's stripped-down YouTube-themed set left audiences divided, with some praising the nostalgia and others labeling it 'lazy.' Beyond the music, attendees took to social media to complain about $40 pizza slices and expensive water.

Viral moments included Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi being spotted together, and Justin Trudeau being trolled for using plastic cups despite his previous environmental policies.
