Here’s a chance to feel something, anything: The 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival lineup dropped, fairly randomly on a Monday night (September 15), and gone are the days of fake posters, genuine anticipation, and the inclusion of that one Britpop band few thought would ever return to America. Next year’s Coachella goes down across two weekends, April 10 to 12 and 17 to 19, at its longtime home base of the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, and it’s headlined by a trio of pop titans: Forever it-girl Sabrina Carpenter, one-time it-boy Justin Bieber, and Colombian superstar Karol G.
Elsewhere, we all get to sit on the couch and anticipate livestreams from Turnstile, The xx, FKA twigs, Addison Rae, Wet Leg, The Rapture, Disclosure, Lambrini Girls, Interpol, Holly Humberstone, Devo, Blood Orange, Iggy Pop, Geese, Wednesday, Blondshell, Suicidal Tendencies, the Boston-born Model/Actriz, Massachusetts’ own Fleshwater, and plenty more. There might even be a fake band thrown in there just to mess with us.
Perhaps most notable is the listing of Nine Inch Noize, a collaborative project from Trent Reznor’s Nine Inch Nails and electronic music producer Boys Noize, which has been turning heads during NIN’s recent area tour (the old heads are especially amped over “Sin”). And listed at the very bottom is “The Bunker Debut of Radiohead Kid A Mnesia”, which could be this or it could be something else. But hey, Radiohead.
Peep the full lineup below, and let’s hope we all make it to Spring 2026 in one piece.
