Coachella 2026: Fans Divided Over Justin Bieber and Sabrina Carpenter Headliners
COACHELLA 2026 LINEUP EXPOSED: THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE 'WORST I'VE EVER SEEN'
Get ready for the most epic music festival of the year! The 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival lineup has finally been revealed, and it's a mixed bag of surprises. On Monday night, organizers dropped the bombshell that Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G will headline next year's event, set for April 10-12 and April 17-19 in Indio, California.
But don't get too excited just yet! While some fans are hyped about the booking, others are left scratching their heads. "This is quite literally the worst Coachella lineup I've ever seen and I've been going for a decade," one X user complained. Another asked, "Am I just getting old or does the Coachella lineup continue to get worse every year?" We can't help but wonder if they're being dramatic, but we'll get into that later.
The lineup is an eclectic mix of genres and generations, with artists like electronic act Anyma, Young Thug, The xx, Turnstile, David Byrne, FKA twigs, Addison Rae, and Ethel Cain joining the party. Legacy artists Iggy Pop, Moby, and Devo also made the cut, while Radiohead is set to make a mysterious appearance under the note "The Bunker Debut of Kid A Mnesia." We can only assume it's going to be epic.
But let's get back to the controversy. Some fans are still reeling from the news, with one Twitter user saying, "What a garbage lineup," while another grumbled, "There has ever been a worse Coachella lineup in the history of the festival... and I'm really not one for hating on Coachella." Ouch! It seems some people just can't handle change.
One fan even compared the lineup to someone leaving their iPhone on shuffle at a college party. Yep, that's exactly what we're talking about – a hot mess of genres and styles all mashed up into one big ol' festival. We're not sure if that's a compliment or an insult, but hey, at least it's memorable.
Others were left scratching their heads, asking, "Lowkey disappointed. I feel like there are usually a lot more well-known artists." Well, let us tell you – this lineup is full of A-listers! We've got Sabrina Carpenter and Justin Bieber headlining together, which one fan described as "wild." Another Belieber (that's a fan of Justin Bieber, for the uninitiated) exclaimed, "JUSTIN BIEBER HEADLINING COACHELLA OH MY F**KING GOD!" We can't help but agree – it's definitely going to be a wild ride.
But what about Sabrina Carpenter? Well, as one fan pointed out, she was all about manifesting her headlining spot at Coachella last year. During her performance, she told the audience, "Coachella, see you back here when I headline!" Guess what? She's back, and this time she's bringing the heat.
Justin Bieber, on the other hand, has been MIA from the festival for a while now. His last live performance was in September 2022, after he cancelled his Justice World Tour due to Ramsay Hunt syndrome. But don't worry – he's back, baby! This will be his first full concert in over three years, and we can only assume it's going to be a spectacle.
Karol G is also making her return to Coachella, this time with a major set behind her new album Tropicoqueta, released in June. It's been a long wait, but fans are ready for the Colombian superstar to bring her A-game.
Last year's headliners were Lana Del Rey and Tyler, the Creator, along with Doja Cat. This year is shaping up to be just as epic – if not more so!
So, what do you think? Is this lineup a "worst I've ever seen" or a "wild ride"? We want to know! Let us know in the comments below.
