Coachella just released weekend-one set times for April 10–12, 2026, confirming headliners Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber and Karol G and adding Jack White to Saturday’s Mojave Stage lineup. This calendar pushes major pop and rock acts into late-night real estate—a sign festivals are leaning into marquee moments that play well on social and streaming clips.
The festival’s official schedule, posted on Coachella’s website and in the Coachella app, shows music beginning at 1 p.m. Pacific on Friday, April 10 (all times Pacific). Weekend one highlights include Carpenter at 9:05 p.m. on Friday; Anyma taking the Coachella Stage at midnight; The Strokes at 9 p.m. Saturday followed by Justin Bieber closing the night at 11:25 p.m.; and Karol G headlining Sunday at 9:55 p.m. Jack White appears as a late-afternoon addition with a 3:00 p.m. Mojave Stage set on Saturday—organizers have not yet said whether he will play weekend two.
Beyond the headliners, the official grid stretches across multiple stages—Coachella Stage, Mojave, Outdoor Theatre, Sonora, Sahara, Yuma and Quasar—stacking diverse acts so fans will face tough choices. International names such as Taemin, Fujii Kaze and Luísa Sonza share bills with legacy performers (Iggy Pop, Devo) and electronic heavyweights (David Guetta, Armin van Buuren x Adam Beyer). The result is a deliberately eclectic lineup that rewards hopping between genres.
Notable time clashes: Anyma’s midnight Coachella Stage slot follows Carpenter’s set; on Saturday the Strokes’ 9 p.m. finish funnels into Bieber’s 11:25 p.m. start; and several high-profile electronic headliners occupy late-night Yuma and Quasar hours. Fans who like to capture signature moments (and avoid missing long walk times between stages) will want to plan—will Jack White return for weekend two, or remain a single-weekend surprise?
Reaction was immediate on social platforms, with fans on X/Twitter and TikTok calling out must-see clashes and sharing screenshoted schedules. Industry producers note that positioning pop acts in overnight windows can boost viral clips and streaming punch-ins—another way festivals monetize highlights beyond ticket sales—while long-time attendees pointed to the increasing international flavor of the bill as evidence Coachella is leaning hard into global audience growth.
What to watch next: weekend-two dates run April 17–19; expect a full second-weekend set list and any additional single-weekend appearances to be confirmed via Coachella’s official channels and the festival app. Attendees should sync the app for set reminders, check shuttle and entry updates, and consider earplugs (and hydration) for the late-night runs between stages. For those not on-site, keep an eye on Coachella’s verified social accounts for livestream or highlight announcements.
Original reporting note: compared with recent editions, this schedule amplifies headliners in late-night slots more aggressively—suggesting promoters are optimizing headline order to build momentum for streaming highlights and post-festival content rather than minimizing cross-stage traffic alone.
