Some huge names have been announced as part of the Coachella 2026 lineup, but fans still aren't happy.
Coachella is arguably one of the biggest festivals of the year, and celebrities from across the globe jet to California donning fringed outfits and cowboy boots for a weekend filled with music.
Dozens of music legends have headlined Coachella: from Oasis, Beyoncé, and Lady Gaga, to Red Hot Chili Peppers, Coldplay, and Drake.
And 2026's headliners are pretty big too, those being Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, and Karol G.

The line-up also boasts the Strokes, Nine Inch Noize, David Byrne, Iggy Pop, Disclosure, Young Thug, Addison Rae, Labrinth, Teddy Swims, Moby, Wet Leg, Little Simz, Major Lazer, FKA Twigs, and PinkPantheress, just to name a few.
Coachella will be held over two weekends in April 2026 and Bieber will take to the stage on April 11 and April 18.
While the lineup is arguably quite impressive, a lot of Coachella fans aren't terribly enthused about it.
"This is the most boring line-up ever," somebody said on Twitter.
"This line up is a** [sic]," agreed a different person, as a third added: "Thanks. I hate it."
Another person wrote online: "This line up is a** but congrats to who made it this year lol."
"The lineups get worse and worse every year," suggested someone else.
Another naysayer penned: "These gotta be the worst headliners in a while."
But it wasn't all negative reviews online — some are very much looking forward to Coachella's 'stacked' lineup.
"JUSTIN BIEBER HEADLINING COACHELLA OH MY F**KING GOD," one excited individual penned on Twitter.
"Damn, this Coachella Line up is actually impressive," said someone else of the festival's recent announcement.
"Sabrina and Bieber headlining together is wild," wrote another, adding: "but lowkey excited to see what Anyma brings."
"This lineup is electric so many incredible artists hard to choose but each performance promises unforgettable moments and pure musical energy," said another more optimistic music-lover.
Elsewhere, people have pointed out that Sabrina Carpenter 'manifested' headlining the huge festival.
Carpenter premiered her juggernaut hit song 'Espresso' at the festival in 2024 and while on stage at the time, she told fans: "Coachella, see you back here when I headline."
"Miss Sabrina Carpenter returning to Coachella as a headliner like she said she would," somebody said on social media in the wake of the lineup being revealed.
Another of her fans said: "Sabrina said a year ago that she’d headline Coachella when she would next be there and now look at where she’s at. I'm so proud of her."
