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.
