Coachella 2026 highlights

The first weekend of Coachella 2026 featured history-making performances from Karol G, the first Latina to headline the festival, and a divisive set from Justin Bieber.

Celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton were among the star-studded crowd in the Indio desert.

The festival also saw the debut of the first Filipino group to play the event and a surprise performance from Grimes.

While some fans praised the nostalgic approach of headliners, others criticized the stripped-down production of certain sets.
