The full line-up for the 2026 edition of Coachella<\/a> has dropped, with headliners being Sabrina Carpenter<\/a>, Justin Bieber<\/a>, Anyma, and Karol G<\/a>. However, fans are also getting excited about some of the other huge names lower down on the bill.<\/p>\n

The organisers of the festival surprise-dropped the bill for next year\u2019s instalment earlier today<\/a> (September 16). With the announcement, Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G \u2013 who were previously speculated to headline<\/a> \u2013 were confirmed to close out the Friday and Sunday shows respectively, while Justin Bieber will headline on both Saturdays. There will also be a special world premiere from Anyma, who will present \u00c6den.<\/p>\n

Coachella 2026 will take place between April 10 and 12, and again on April 17 to 19. You can get tickets here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, fans have taken to social media to share their enthusiasm for some of the names lower down on the bill.<\/p>\n

One of the main names that has got people talking is the mention of Radiohead at the very bottom of the poster \u2013 although this isn\u2019t a live performance from the band, but rather the \u201cbunker debut of Radiohead<\/a> Kid A Mnesia\u201d; suggesting Radiohead\u2019s \u2018Kid A Mnesia\u2019 art exhibition<\/a> will be brought to the Californian desert.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an art exhibit but low key would not be surprised to see a \u2018surprise\u2019 Radiohead set listed when they release schedule of set times,\u201d one fan on X wrote, highlighting how the band have already announced a run of UK tour dates<\/a> recently and may be planning to bring their live show over the pond.<\/p>\n

Another fan shared, \u201cMy interest in Coachella is 0.0 but will go all the way to 100 if the @radiohead thing at the bottom of this is a thing,\u201d while a third added: \u201ci just need to know what that radiohead thing at the bottom means. @coachella TELL ME PLEASEEEEEEE.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an art exhibit but low key would not be surprised to see a \u201csurprise\u201d Radiohead set listed when they release schedule of set times. This is all contractual. If Radiohead is touring US next year, they would want to prioritize selling those tickets.<\/p>\n

A similar response has been sparked by the inclusion of The Strokes<\/a> on the bill. The addition of Julian Casablancas<\/a> and co. comes as they recently confirmed their only shows for 2025 at Austin City Limits and a couple of warm-up dates, and haven\u2019t released any music together since 2020\u2019s album, \u2018The New Abnormal\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It also comes as somewhat of a surprise as, last autumn, Casablancas opened up about why he had \u201ckind of stepped away a little bit\u201d from The Strokes<\/a>, and the year before, guitarist Albert Hammond Jr gave an update about new music from the band to NME<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAHHHH the strokes a coachella, does this mean they\u2019re making a comeback?????,\u201d wrote an eager fan on X, while some one else shared: \u201cmight just have to secure my coachella tickets now that the strokes are going to perform.\u201d<\/p>\n

Interpol<\/a> are getting a big response online too, and the slot will come following them completing their \u2018Antics\u2019 20th anniversary tour<\/a>, and telling NME that are \u201cpumped\u201d to be working on a new \u201crock\u201d album<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u200b\u200bInterpol and the Strokes both playing Coachella. we NEED that pic,\u201d one shared, another agreed: \u201cInterpol & The strokes at Coachella next year\u00a0 now who wants to go is the real question\u201d. A third wrote: \u201cThe Strokes, Blood Orange, Turnstile, & Interpol? Coachella, you\u2019ve outdone yourself for me\u201d.<\/p>\n

THE STROKES ARE BACK AT COACHELLA ??<\/p>\n

Another band seemingly hinting at a full-blown comeback with their name being featured on the line-up is The xx<\/a>. Although the three members haven\u2019t worked together officially since an appearance on Jamie xx<\/a>\u2019s 2024 single \u2018Waited All Night\u2019 from his album \u2018In Waves<\/a>\u2019, they did reunite recently at the 2025 edition of LIDO Festival in London<\/a>, and have been\u00a0 underway with work on their long-anticipated fourth album<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe xx are on next year\u2019s coachella line up , i really hope they come back,\u201d a fan wrote on X, while another chimed in: \u201cSORRY THE XX ARE PLAYING AT COACHELLA DOES THAT MEAN THEY ARE BACK AS A BAND THEN HOLY SHIT I\u2019M GONNA DIE.\u201d<\/p>\n

the xx a coachella\u2026. la vida es chula<\/p>\n

Other artists getting big responses online include Swedish art-pop artist Lykke Li<\/a>, who some suspect may be about to release some of her first new music since dropping \u2018T\u042fA\u018eH \u042fUOY OT YAWH\u04d8IH\u2019<\/a> \u2013 a reimagined version of her track \u2018Highway to Your Heart\u2019 \u2013last October, and Nine Inch Noize.<\/p>\n

For the latter, it looks like Nine Inch Nails<\/a> will be bringing their latest run of \u2018Peel It Back\u2019 tour shows<\/a> to the desert, continuing to collaborate with Boys Noize<\/a> to put an intense, underground rave spin on their signature sound.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only REAL fomo I have for Coachella is Nine Inch Noize like bro have yall seen the videos of them on a 360 stage in a stadium with modular synths?\u201d one fan wrote, while someone else continued: \u201cI think no one has realized that at Coachella, Nine Inch Noize is going to be there, the collaborative project between Nine Inch Nails and the DJ and producer Boys Noize. That show is going to be spectacular.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following on from a handful of live shows this summer, Iggy Pop<\/a> is also back on the Coachella stage next year too \u2013 leading to some speculation that he could be sharing his first new music since his 19th studio album \u2018Every Loser<\/a>\u2019, which arrived in 2023.<\/p>\n

Lykke Li at Coachella next year, I might cry<\/p>\n

For Justin Bieber, the slot marks the first major show Bieber has announced for since he cancelled his \u2018Justice\u2019 world tour in 2023<\/a>, having revealed in 2022 that he was suffering from Ramsay Hunt syndrome<\/a>. It will also mark his first time as an official performer at Coachella, though he has popped up as a special guest for other acts\u2019 sets in the past.<\/p>\n

Coachella 2025 was headlined by Lady Gaga, Green Day and Post Malone<\/a>, with additional performances coming from the likes of Charli XCX<\/a>, Travis Scott<\/a>, Kneecap<\/a>, Tyla<\/a>, Megan Thee Stallion<\/a>, Sam Fender<\/a>, Ed Sheeran<\/a>, Beth Gibbons<\/a>, Misfits<\/a>, Benson Boone<\/a>, Japanese Breakfast<\/a>, The Prodigy<\/a>, solo performances from BLACKPINK<\/a>\u2018s Jennie<\/a> and Lisa<\/a> and many more.<\/p>\n
