Coachella 2026: Justin Bieber Joining Billie Eilish, SZA To KPop Demon Hunters' HUNTR/X Fiery Performance - 5 Key Moments

Coachella

2026 has stolen the spotlight, with a relentless lineup of back-to-back performances that are redefining what a live music experience can be. It's the kind of pseudo-lived experience that feels uniting and generationally relevant - much like this year's 'Bieberchella' fever. But for the teens of the 2010s who now potentially hold adult jobs (and so adult money!) Coachella 2026 is a music and arts festival taking place on Empire Polo Club, Indio, California, from April 10 to 19, 2026. It is the 25th edition of the festival.

Justin also gave Hailey, their son, Jack Blues Bieber, and the rest of his family a sweet shoutout on stage as he sang “Hallelujah.” The Rhode founder couldn’t help but smile, blush, and blow kisses. Manon At Coachella But Without KATSEYEKATSEYE’s Coachella debut, while critically acclaimed for its scorching energy and production, was rather overshadowed by the absence of founding member Manon Bannerman, whose February hiatus is ongoing. However, Manon still found her way to the Coachella stage, but brought out by another certified popstar instead.
