Organisers of
Coachella 2026 have confirmed the full schedule for the festival's opening weekend, alongside the surprise addition of
Jack White to the line-up. White will deliver a 45-minute performance at the Mojave Tent on Saturday 11th April at 3pm.
Booking a major artist for an unannounced Saturday afternoon slot has become a recurring move from the festival's organisers, following similar surprise appearances from Ed Sheeran and Weezer in previous years. White's appearance comes shortly after he released two new tracks — 'G.O.D. And The Broken Ribs' and 'Derecho Demonico' — and performed them on SNL. Whether he will return for the second weekend remains unconfirmed.
Returning to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, the festival spans two weekends: 10th to 12th April and 17th to 19th April.
Sabrina Carpenter headlines Friday evening on the Coachella Stage between 9:05pm and 10:35pm, with Anyma following at midnight. Saturday's programme builds towards
Justin Bieber's headline slot beginning at 11:25pm, during which he is expected to perform both of his 'Swag' albums in full. Karol G closes Sunday from 9:55pm, ahead of Kaskade's set at 10:45pm.
Elsewhere on the bill,
The Strokes, David Byrne,
Interpol, Disclosure,
The xx, Turnstile, Ethel Cain, KATSEYE, Addison Rae, Labrinth, Alex G, BIGBANG, Laufey, Iggy Pop,
FKA twigs,
Wet Leg, Clipse and Nine Inch Noize — a collaborative performance from
Nine Inch Nails and Boys Noize — all feature across the weekend.
A 75-minute large-format film titled Radiohead Kid A Mnesia will also screen at the festival. Organisers have described it as a piece made from thousands of fragments created by Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood during the recording of 'Kid A' and 'Amnesiac', encompassing sketches, paintings, collages, audio recordings and handwritten notes.
Solomun has withdrawn from the festival to recover from ear surgery and is the only confirmed departure from the announced bill. FKA twigs will perform as planned, having previously pulled out of the 2025 edition owing to visa issues. Tickets for the 2026 festival sold out within a week of the line-up being shared in September.
The festival will be livestreamed on the Coachella YouTube channel, with performances broadcast live and repeated after the final set each evening. Highlights will be made available on demand.
