Justin Bieber and Sabrina Carpenter among Coachella headliners

Justin Bieber will make his festival comeback at Coachella in 2026, with Sabrina Carpenter also headlining the event.

The third night of the US festival in Indio, California, in the US, will be headlined by Colombian star Karol G.

The line-up also boasts the Strokes, Nine Inch Noize, David Byrne, Iggy Pop, Disclosure, Young Thug, Addison Rae, Labrinth, Teddy Swims, Moby, Wet Leg, Little Simz, Major Lazer, FKA Twigs and PinkPantheress.

Coachella will be held over two weekends in April 2026 and Bieber will take to the stage on April 11 and April 18.

Bieber recently made his musical comeback with his new albums Swag and Swag II, after a four-year absence from the industry.

Over that time he made more headlines for his personal life and his marriage to wife Hailey, than for his musical output.

The couple had their first child, son Jack Blues, last year.

Swag was his first album since his 2021 record Justice.

Carpenter will return to the Coachella stage two years after she premiered her juggernaut hit song Espresso at the festival in 2024.

Since then she has become a global megastar, and released her most recent album, Man’s Best Friend, last month.

The festival announced the line-up on Instagram with a post that said: “Hard launch. Passes on sale Friday, September 19 at 11am PT. Register now for access.”
