Coachella 2026 kicks off

The festival, which attracts over 100,000 attendees annually, saw surprise appearances from Justin Bieber and a historic performance by the Filipino girl group BINI. While the music captivated fans, many attendees took to social media to slam the 'criminal' cost of food and drink on-site.

Safety concerns remained high as a speaker reportedly fell at the Do LaB stage, resulting in one injury.

Despite the weather challenges, the festival continues with a packed Saturday lineup including The Strokes and Jack White.
