Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival takes place in Indio, California over the next two weekends and features an amazing lineup consisting of familiar chart-topping artists and some underground acts with crossover potential.
The desert festival showcases more than 130 artists, led by top-billed names like Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G and additional sets from artists like XX, the Strokes, Addison Rae, Young Thug and BIGBANG. The festival will take place April 10 to 12 and April 17 to 19, 2026. Here are five artists you should be on the lookout for.
Sabrina Carpenter returns to Coachella as one of the headliners after a truly remarkable and successful year. An unremitting artist, Carpenter has spent the past two years on her Short n’ Sweet Tour and promoting her newly released album Man’s Best Friend. On April 7th, the Short N’ Sweet artist shared with Perfect how preparations for her impending Coachella performance are going, stating “It’s the most ambitious show I’ve ever done.”
Justin Bieber will perform “Bieberchella” for the first time, after a three-year hiatus, making a live debut of his latest release of Swag and Swag II, an eagerly awaited performance that his fans are dying to see.
A clip has recently gone viral of Bieber’s soundcheck from the Coachella stage, hits like “Sorry” and “Where Are Ü Now” can be heard in the video. More fans have captured his soundcheck from their backyards, and it’s safe to say that his classic throwbacks should be highly anticipated.
Devonté Hynes, also known as Blood Orange, hits the Coachella stage on Friday, April 10th. After a busy year with the release of his fifth studio album, Essex Honey, in August 2025, featuring collaborations with household names like Lorde, Daniel Caesar, and Caroline Polachek.
Blood Orange has also been touring nonstop since the release of his latest album, while continuously producing film scores and music for other artists. A native to the festival, he’s performed in 2014 and 2019 fans eagerly wait for his return.
FKA twigs is a unique artist, integrating avant-garde music, complex movement, live art, and fashion. Her music is deeply rooted in visual storytelling, normally expressing herself through dark, hypnotic beats that allow her audience to feel her music beyond superficial appearances.
Earlier this year FKA twigs released her album Eusexua and Eusexua Afterglow, winning a Grammy for best Dance/Electronic Album. She is currently on her “Body High” tour while also continuing to fight against domestic abuse. She’s no newbie to Coachella, in 2015 she performed on day two and now is to set for her long-waited return for both weekends this year.
Teddy Swims is set to take the main stage for both weekends at Coachella this year. Swims has been ruling charts and touring globally nonstop, since the release of his recent album I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2) and smashing single “Bad Dreams.”
A real kickstart to the year, he’s been nominated for a Grammy and has been performing on major hit TV shows like The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. A true performance that will shake your soul, you won’t want to miss him on stage.
