INDIO, United States \u2013 American pop princess Sabrina Carpenter took fans on a nostalgic journey through a Hollywood-themed fantasy world dubbed \u201cSabrinawood\u201d on April 10 as music festival Coachella wrapped up its first day in the California desert. <\/p>\n

The headliner packed 20 songs into a Tinseltown-inspired set complete with A-lister cameos, vintage film props and a \u201cSabrinawood\u201d billboard in huge white letters evoking the Hollywood sign.<\/p>\n

The Manchild (2025) singer made her Coachella debut in 2024, the year she released her catchy summer smash Espresso. <\/p>\n

\u201cTwo years ago, I wanted to put on a little song for Coachella,\u201d Carpenter said on stage as fans belted out the words to the megahit.<\/p>\n

Her performance also included live debuts from her latest album Man\u2019s Best Friend (2025), as well as appearances from American actress Susan Sarandon and American actor Will Ferrell.<\/p>\n

The star-studded Coachella line-up \u2013 which also features other headliners Canadian pop star Justin Bieber and Colombian singer-songwriter Karol G \u2013 will grace the stage in Indio on two consecutive weekends, kicking off the American music festival circuit for 2026.<\/p>\n

Under Coachella\u2019s desert sun, with temperatures reaching 30 deg C on April 10, music fans donned cowboy boots, short shorts and glitter galore for the festivities.<\/p>\n

Two-time Grammy nominee and American singer Teddy Swims took to the festival\u2019s main stage at dusk with an enthusiastic set that included hits such as The Door (2023) and Bad Dreams (2025), before closing out with Lose Control (2023).<\/p>\n

Italian DJ Anyma cancelled his set due to \u201cstrong wind conditions\u201d that affected stage build, organisers said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The party continues across Coachella\u2019s nine stages on April 11, with a heavy dose of yesteryear\u2019s biggest stars.<\/p>\n

The \u201990s are back with American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails, who will team up with German producer Boys Noize for a performance, and the aughts will be represented by New York City rockers The Strokes, who are slated to release a new album in June after a six-year hiatus.<\/p>\n

But peak nostalgia may hit like a bout of \u201cBieber fever\u201d, on the heels of the 32-year-old singer\u2019s comeback at the 2026 Grammy Awards, with hits such as Sorry (2015) and Where Are U Now (2015).<\/p>\n
