This marks his first billed Coachella appearance and a return to major stages after a hiatus from full tours since 2022.

Previously, Bieber canceled his tour because of medical issues, stating that it was necessary to focus on his well-being.
His scheduled performance is eagerly awaited globally by supporters.

Carpenter returns following her first appearance in the previous edition, now as a top-billed act.
Her most recent album, Man’s Best Friend, has been highly acclaimed as one of this year's most provocative pop releases.
A Milestone for Karol G
The Colombian superstar is set to be the inaugural Latina to headline Coachella, following Bad Bunny set a precedent as the inaugural Latino headliner in 2023.
Her newest work, Tropicoqueta, was released in June, with her performance marks her first full show supporting the release.
Event Information
The festival is scheduled over two weekends in April 2026: April 10-12 and April 17-19.
