Weâre still in the middle of Coachella 2025, but itâs such a hit that many desert-goers are already planning their 2026 trip back to Indio, California. After Lady Gaga brought mayhem to the first night of Coachella, and Benson Boone invited Queenâs Brian May to bring true rock ânâ roll to the stage, music fans who have never been to the Empire Polo Club are starstruck by whatâs in store for them. So, whatâs going on with Coachella 2026? Find out if a lineup has been determined below.

Who Could Be in the Coachella 2026 Lineup?
While no one can guarantee the 2026 headliners, fans are predicting who could possibly take the stage. After all, a handful of major artists declined to perform at the 2025 festival, so is there a chance that they could perform in 2026?
Fans are asking for Kendrick Lamar to take the Coachella stage next year. His 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show was such a hit, so hopefully, the âNot Like Usâ rapper could sign up for a spot at Coachella 2026.
As for other potential headliners, two festival queens come to fansâ minds: Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter. Both Gen-Z icons performed at Coachella 2024. So, it would make sense if either of them agreed to headline the next event. But if both the âGood 4 Uâ and the âEspressoâ hitmakers agree to headline the 2026 festival, fans would do almost anything to see them live in Indio.
Last but not least, Swifties have been begging Taylor Swift to headline Coachella. Her Eras Tour was a worldwide success, so the âKarmaâ artist could benefit from finally headlining â or at least performing at â Coachella 2026.
