Coachella 2026 Tickets: Complete Buying Guide, Dates & Pricing
The post Coachella 2026 Tickets: Complete Buying Guide, Dates & Pricing appeared first on Consequence.
Coachella 2025 has come and gone, and now, all eyes are on Coachella 2026. The longtime Indio, California festival will be celebrating its 25th edition in 2026, with Weekend 1 going down from April 10th-12th and Weekend 2 going down from April 17th-19th.

Passes for Coachella 2026 will go on sale on Friday, May 2nd beginning at 11:00 a.m. PST via Coachella's official website. The upcoming sale is just the advance sale; when the lineup arrives (usually in January, though for 2025 it came in late November), there will be another general sale.
The advance sale is limited, so once tickets sell out, fans can get Coachella passes via StubHub, where orders are 110% guaranteed through StubHub's FanProtect program. StubHub is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
Coachella 2026 will once again offer 3-Day passes only — meaning they will not be selling single day passes for individual days at the festival. Coachella offers a GA tier as well as a VIP tier. While VIP has been expanded in recent years, it doesn't guarantee pit access to the Coachella's various stages, unlike other festivals. VIP does, however, have a dedicated entry and exit lane, access to preferred parking, special food and drink options, a private entry lane for the Yuma tent, and enclosed areas by the Coachella Stage, Outdoor Stage, Sahara Tent, and Mojave Tent.
For this year, passes for Weekend 1 are slightly more expensive than Weekend 2. Meanwhile, for those staying in hotels, Coachella also offers the option to bundle your festival pass with a shuttle pass. See below for each tier of passes for the upcoming advance sale:
3-Day GA (Weekend 1): $599 ($549 + $50 fees) 3-Day GA (Weekend 2): $549 ($499 + $50 fees)
3-Day GA + Shuttle Pass (Weekend 1): $729 ($679 + $50 fees) 3-Day GA + Shuttle Pass (Weekend 2): $679 ($629 + $50 fees)
3-Day VIP (Weekend 1): $1,299 ($1,169 + $130 fees) 3-Day VIP (Weekend 2): $1,199 ($1,069 + $130 fees)
For the first time since the festival extended to two weekends in 2012, Coachella Weekend 1 is now more expensive than Coachella Weekend 2; it is unknown if Weekend 1 will revert back to the original price when the general sale occurs after the 2026 lineup drops.
The price hike can be attributed to several factors. For one, the grass is literally greener during Weekend 1; the groundskeepers do an ample job of rehabilitating the Empire Polo Club's fields between weekends, but it's a challenge when thousands of people tread on fresh-cut grass during the first weekend. Meanwhile, Weekend 1 also has a higher percentage of livestream viewers, and to that end, a typically-larger percentage of special guests.
The Quasar and DoLab stages rotate acts each weekend, and Coachella's recent 'surprise set time adds' — which were Weezer (Weekend 1) and Ed Sheeran (Weekend 2) this year — are typically split as well. Beyond that, though, both weekends feature roughly the same lineup, headliners and all.

Yes — you won't be alone, either, as a new study revealed that more than half of Coachella 2025 attendees financed their passes via a payment plan.
Coachella offers a special payment plan for its upcoming May 2025 advance sale. For plans initiated from May 2nd to May 15th, 2025, attendees can pay $49 down at checkout, plus 8 equal payments of $55 with no added interest (starting May 16th) through December 15, 2025. For plans initiated from May 16th to May 31st, attendees can pay $49 down at checkout, plus 7 equal payments of $55 with no added interest (starting June 1st) through December 15, 2025. See Coachella's website for more details about payment plans.
Coachella offers several camping tiers, with each sold separately from passes to the festival itself. For 2026, though, the festival has removed their standard Tent Camping tier. Tent Camping is still available in the form of the more upscale 'Ready-Set Tent Camping,' but otherwise, they're prioritizing Car Camping this year. See below for the various camping tiers, their prices, and what they offer:
Car Camping: $160 ($150 + $10 fees) + Transient Occupancy Tax — The O.G., standard car camping experience at Coachella. Group Car Camping: $160 ($150 + $10 fees) + Transient Occupancy Tax — The standard car camping experience with the option to arrive separate from your group and camp together on plot laid out specifically for your party. Preferred Car Camping: $420 ($400 + $20 fees) + Transient Occupancy Tax — Guarantees a camping spot close to the festival entrance. Preferred Front Row Car Camping: $520 ($500 + $20 fees) + Transient Occupancy Tax — Guarantees a camping spot in the front row of car camping, just steps away from the festival entrance. Powered Car Camping: $620 ($595 + $25 fees) + Transient Occupancy Tax — Car camping in a guaranteed spot with a power outlet and access to upgraded restroom and shower facilities. Ready-Set Tent Camping: $690 ($665 + $25 fees) + Transient Occupancy Tax — Camping in a pre-set limited-edition Coachella souvenir tent. La Campana Camping: $2,600 for 1 Queen or 2 Twins, $3,300 for 2 Queens or 4 Twins — A little bit of glamping, with real beds in private, temperature-controlled tents. Lake El Dorado Camping: $2,300 (2 Person)/$3,000 (4 Person) — Private, secluded, ready-to-go camping lodges. Safari Camping: $10,000 — The ultimate Coachella glamping experience with guest passes, golf carts, and much more.
There are many different hotels to stay at near Coachella. The festival itself offers various Travel and Hotel Packages through Valley Music Travel; these packages come with shuttle passes as well (the exact shuttle schedule will be announced at a later date).
Otherwise, there are lots of hotels within driving distance to the festival in Indio, Palm Desert, La Quinta, Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells, Palm Springs, and more. If you're planning a trip for Coachella 2026, you can save 15% off travel and accommodations through Booking.com.
The lineup for Coachella 2026 is unknown at this time. As stated, the Coachella lineup usually arrives in early January; maybe there was something in the water at Goldenvoice last fall, though, because the Coachella 2025 lineup arrived two months earlier than it usually does. Perhaps they were attempting to get the general sale going before and around the holidays, as opposed to shortly after the new year. Either way, when the lineup arrives, we'll update this post with more info.
Meanwhile, if you're still feeling some Coachella FOMO and want to know what it's like, check out our 2025 recap, where we break down everything you didn't see on the livestream.

Beyoncé fans react to dance captain's absence during London concert: 'Where is Amari?'
Beyoncé fans react to dance captain's absence during London concert: 'Where is Amari?' Beyoncé Knowles-Carter lit up the stage for the second night of her "Cowboy Carter" tour in London, and while fans were thrilled to see Les Twins dancing once again, many pointed out one familiar face was missing. The Grammy-winning singer took the stage June 7 for her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. During the electric performance many fans noticed that Amari "Monster" Marshall, dubbed Beyoncé's dance captain, was not among the performers onstage. One fan wrote, "What happened to Amari," and many others cosigned. Marshall began working with Beyoncé during her iconic 2018 Coachella "Beychella" performances. She eventually assumed the role of dance co-captain on the "Renaissance World Tour," where she played a key part in mentoring Beyoncé's then 11-year-old daughter Blue Ivy during her stage debut. Beyoncé publicly praised Marshall for her guidance with the family dubbing her Blue's 'dance stage momma." She also took the stage with Bey during her 2024 Christmas Day NFL halftime show during the Texans-Ravens game. Marshall has continued performing with Beyoncé as dance captain on the "Cowboy Carter" tour, often sharing photos from various tour stops. However, she appeared to be absent from the stage in London, and fans especially noticed during Saturday night's show. It's not yet clear why Marshall didn't appear onstage or if she'll be making a return soon. The concert marked Beyoncé's second of six shows at the stadium. She is set to hit the stage again June 10, 12, 14 and 16, before heading to Paris for three fans know, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. Of course, Beyoncé first released the 27-track project in March 2024. It has since made history and broken multiple records. As Beyoncé's first country album, she deliberately featured country legends and emerging Black country artists alike. She became the first Black woman to win best country album at the 2025 Grammys and also took home album of the year. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26.

Kate Moss launches Festival Collection for Zara
Kate Moss has tapped into her love of music to launch a new Festival Collection for Zara . The supermodel teamed with the high street giant last year to release her first Kate Moss x Zara collection and now she's back with a second range which is themed around music festivals and features Moss in a campaign alongside Primal Scream legend Bobby Gillespie, who is married to the collection's co-designer - stylist Katy England. Moss said: "It was such an evolved process this time. Because it's Spring/Summer and festival season, I suppose, I expected it to be more about wafty dresses. "But it's a bit tougher than that. That's because all the masculine energy was coming in from Bobby doing his collection at the same time. You could feel it coming over and we ended up going somewhere quite unexpected that I didn't think we would." The festival collection includes mini-dresses, a leopard print skirt, a sheer floral maxi-dress, suede ankle boots and a leather-studded bralette as well as accessories including sunglasses, studded belts and bracelets. The festival collection also features menswear pieces. The advertising campaign also features Gillespie's model son, Lux, 21, and Moss' 22-year-old daughter, Lila. The collection launches online and in stores on June 10. Moss spoke about the collection to and insisted she never pre-plans her outfits - especially when it comes to clothes she wears to festivals. She told the outlet: "Planned outfits never work for me. I don't do that ... I just think overly thought-out outfits are a bit … for a festival? "When I look at Coachella I just think … are they even having fun?" Kate previously included a silver dress inspired by an outfit she wore to Glastonbury Festival in 2005 in her last collection for Zara. It comes after Kate admitted she hates fashion "trends" because she can't stand seeing the same "shoe and bag" in every shop. During an appearance on Bella Freud's 'Fashion Neurosis' podcast, she explained: "I hate fashion codes. I hate like: 'Oh this bag's in fashion so everybody designs the same f****** bag.' I hate that kind of thing. Like oh this is fashionable so everybody has to have that in their shop. I really don't like that. "Like I walked through the airport the other day and in every shop was the same shoe and the same bag from like every designer. I was like: 'What the f*** is the point in doing that?' I don't understand ... "They might put it on the runway different but when it gets to the shop it's all the same. Like why? It's not fun when it's fashionable. "You know like the trends. That's what they call them. The trends ... Trends are awful. [As soon as it's a trend] you can't wear it any more."

What to wear to Glastonbury: 8 best celebrity outfits ever to help you pack the ultimate festival wardrobe
Glastonbury Festival. Aka the holy grail of fashion and music. A place where, according to Glasto style icon Alexa Chung, no matter how "terrible" your outfit choice is, "it still looks great." And so, for the lucky ones who managed to bag a ticket to the UK's grittier version of Coachella, you're likely now in full wardrobe planning mode. With many, perhaps looking back to previous Glastonburys for some inspiration, especially from your favourite celebs. Whether you're throwing it right back to 2007 Kate Moss, or looks from recent years are more your vibe (Maya Jama's 2024 Dior 'Plan de Paris' outfit was a standout), behold some of the best celebrity fits alongside their highstreet alternatives. How can we not start with Alexa? She's a festival fashion veteran, after all. In terms of this dress, it ticks all the boxes: stylish, comfortable, and goes with everything. At Glasto, you want something you can just throw on but still look like you've made an effort. Basically, you can never go wrong with a slip dress, rain or shine. Remember, you're going to be walking for miles, so you need something that blends comfort and fashion. This year, it looks like it's going to be good weather, so you may not need those Hunter wellies. (Pack them just in case, obvs.) Instead, opt for a pair of statement black boots like Dua Lipa. They're so versatile because they look great with different styles: from cute white lace prairie mini-dresses to frayed denim shorts. We *love* a two-piece. They're also really handy for festivals, as you don't have to think about how you'll make the rest of the outfit pop. The co-ord does all the talking! Be sure to pair the skirt/skort/shorts with a plain top underneath, like Maya did last year. This way, you've still got a fire outfit if you remove the jacket. Getting the right bag for Glasto can be tricky. It can't be too big, but it can't be too small. It also needs to match most of your outfits. If you're going for 2005 Kate Moss vibes, a black faux leather satchel that can hang over your body is a perfect shout. It's understated but cool, and can fit the festival essentials in like lipgloss, face powder, and your purse. Let's face it, even though the sun might be shining, there's always going to be a chance of rain at Glastonbury. It's the UK, after all. But just because you have to prepare for bad weather, doesn't mean that you can't make it fashion. Opt for a bright pop of colour when picking your raincoat, like Annie Mac did last year. If you're into the maximalist look, she also styled it with a lime green mini satchel and leopard print trousers, which is a whole festival inspo fit in itself. That dry shampoo not doing it for you anymore? As you near the end of Glastonbury (and not to sound minging), there's only so much a baby wipe wash can do. The solution? A good old hat. While Saffron Hocking understood the method dressing assignment, going for farm chic, there are so many headwear variations you can go for. For example, last year, it was all about the furry bucket hat. Or, keep it more casual with a baseball cap, loved by celebs from Dua Lipa to Cara Delevingne. Glastonbury style is way more cool and casual than Coachella, meaning an assortment of shorts in your case is a non-negotiable. You don't just have to go for the classic frayed denim look if that's not your style. Scalloped white shorts also give off that classic Glasto boho vibe, and look both effortless and timeless. It's the last day, and while you still want to look good, it's more about achieving the perfect balance of casual and comfy. With that, it's all about baggy combats and oversized shirts and jackets. If you can bag an artist tee, even better. Sophie Williams is a Freelance Journalist and Copywriter, covering everything from Fashion to Entertainment to music, Lifestyle and Features.
