Coachella has reportedly secured two of its three headliners for next year’s festival – find out more below.
Per a Rolling Stone report, anonymous sources told the publication that Coachella have booked Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G to headline next year, and are currently in the processes of securing a third headliner.
Coachella organisers Goldenvoice did not respond to Rolling Stone‘s request for comment, and an official line-up for the festival is expected to be revealed sometime in the coming months. The festival bill typically arrives in January, but 2025’s roster was revealed two months earlier in November 2024.
Should Carpenter and Karol G headline, it’ll mark both artists’ second time performing at the Californian festival. Carpenter made her Coachella debut in 2024 fresh off the heels of ‘Espresso’ topping charts worldwide, while Karol G performed at the festival for the first time in 2022.
Coachella 2026 will take place between April 10 and 12, and again on April 17 to 19. As for tickets, you’ll be able to get yours here.
Coachella 2025 was headlined by Lady Gaga, Green Day and Post Malone, with additional performances from the likes of Charli XCX, Travis Scott, Kneecap, Tyla, Megan Thee Stallion, Sam Fender, Ed Sheeran, Beth Gibbons, Misfits, Benson Boone, Japanese Breakfast, The Prodigy, solo performances from BLACKPINK‘s Jennie and Lisa and many more.
Among the headlines from Coachella 2025 were a mini-feud between fans of Charli XCX and Green Day. Tensions rose after Green Day closed out the main stage on day two of Coachella, with Charli performing right before them. At an afterparty, Charli XCX ruffled feathers by donning a “Miss Should Be Headliner” sash, which was interpreted as a dig towards Green Day.
Elsewhere, Kneecap turned heads as well. During their week one performance, their livestream was cut out after they voiced their support for a free Palestine, and also led the crowd in a provocative anti-Margaret Thatcher chant. “Not only was that cut,” they later said, referring to the Thatcher refrain, “our messaging on the US-backed genocide in Gaza somehow never appeared on screens either.” This incident kicked off a wave of criticism towards the group, even resulting in tour cancellations and even Kneecap’s Mo Chara facing terror charges in the UK.
