Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Karol G to headline Coachella

American singer-songwriter Sabrina Carpenter, Canadian pop star Justin Bieber and Colombian reggaeton artist Karol G will headline the prestigious Coachella festival in 2026, organizers said Tuesday.

Text size:

Also scheduled to perform is rapper Young Thug, released from prison in late October 2024 after pleading guilty to gang involvement at the end of a nearly two-year prosecution.

Punk rock legend Iggy Pop, indie-rock band The Strokes, electronic music duo Disclosure and genre-bending Major Lazer are also on deck for the festival in Indio, California, over two weekends in April.

Karol G is the first female artist from Latin America to headline Coachella, after Puerto Rican hitmaker Bad Bunny became the first Spanish-language artist to do so in 2023.

Bieber surprised fans by releasing a seventh studio album, "Swag," in July, which was then re-released as a double album in September.

In September, the singer had to cancel the final leg of a world tour due to Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a rare neurological condition that partially paralyzed his face.

After a decade-long career that began on the Disney Channel, Carpenter has become a pop phenom with the success of her two last albums, "Short n' Sweet" and "Man's Best Friend," released in 2024 and 2025.
