Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G have been revealed as the headlining acts for the upcoming Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
The highly anticipated event will mark the first time any of these artists have topped the bill at Coachella, which draws an estimated 250,000 attendees to the California desert.
The diverse lineup also features performances by Teddy Swims, Katseye, Central Cee, and CMAT.
The festival, a staple of the music scene since its inception in 2002, is held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, spanning two weekends.
Carpenter is scheduled to kick off the festivities on Friday, with Bieber and Karol G headlining on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
A significant contingent of UK artists is also slated to perform, including Disclosure, Wet Leg, Lambrini Girls, Little Simz, and FKA Twigs.
While tickets are not yet available, prospective attendees can register for passes.
Coachella maintains its position as one of the world’s premier music festivals, celebrated for its star-studded lineups and celebrity-filled audience.
Last year’s festival saw appearances from actor Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, along with Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey.
Previous performers have included Lady Gaga, Charli XCX, Travis Scott, Post Malone, and Green Day.
The previous event was not without challenges as well, with complaints arising regarding a new reservation system for campers, leading to significant traffic delays.
Initial reactions to the announced lineup have been mixed.
One user on X expressed disappointment, stating, “I don’t think there has ever been a worse Coachella lineup in the history of the festival.”
Conversely, many fans expressed excitement and eagerness to secure tickets.
One such enthusiast wrote: “I will literally do anything for someone to sponsor my Coachella trip this line-up is so insane to me”.
