Notable artists and highlights

Beyond the headliners, the full poster mixes legacy acts, indie favorites and fast-rising stars — a hallmark Coachella balance meant to attract both mainstream and tastemaker crowds. Highlights include The Strokes, The xx, Young Thug, David Byrne, Iggy Pop, FKA twigs, Major Lazer, Kaskade, PinkPantheress, Turnstile, Ethel Cain, Laufey and many more. Radiohead is also slated to present a special “Kid A / Amnesiac” themed set in The Bunker, while electronic and collaborative special projects appear throughout the schedule. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Why this matters: Coachella’s 2026 poster blends generations — from punk and post-punk icons (Iggy Pop, The Strokes) to current pop superstars and viral newcomers — which helps the festival stay culturally relevant while drawing broad ticket demand. Industry watchers note that headliners with strong streaming numbers and social reach (like Sabrina Carpenter and Justin Bieber) often push ticket and camping packages to sellout quickly. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Tips for fans

1. Register now for pass access and set a calendar alert for general on-sale (Sep 19, 11:00 a.m. PT).
2. Book lodging early: Indio and surrounding cities fill fast during Coachella weekends.
3. Plan days by stage: headliners typically close the main stage, while many genre sets run simultaneously across the grounds.

Final take

Coachella 2026 promises to be a high-energy, genre-spanning event anchored by three very different — and commercially powerful — headliners. Whether you’re there for the big pop moments, the rare special projects, or discovering the next viral act, the poster makes a clear bid to be one of the year’s must-attend festival lineups.
