Coachella 2026 dates unveiled; fans speculate who will headline
Already missing the sounds of an intense bass or spending $30 for an unimpressive burger and fries combo at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival? Well, you can already start planning for next year's party. Though the music festival literally wrapped up hours ago, organizer Goldenvoice has already announced the dates and advanced pass sale for the 2026 iteration. The popular Southern California music festival will once again consist of two weekends. Dates are April 10-12, 2026, and April 17-19, 2026. Coachella expanded to a two-weekend format in 2012. The advance sale for 2026 Coachella passes begins 11 a.m. Friday, May 2. Those interested in attending the festival can head to and sign up for updates on pass details, payment plan info and more. Prices for the 2025 festival began at $599 for general admission and $1,199 for VIP (prices varied depending on the weekend). Hotel and Safari camping packages are currently on sale for both weekends. A three-night general admission hotel package starts at $431.91 per person per night (based on four people sharing), while a three-night VIP packages starts at $678.58 per person per night (based on four people sharing). Music fans are already wondering who could headline next year's festival, and several names seem to be on people's minds and wish lists. Rapper Kendrick Lamar and R&B singer SZA have embarked on their co-headlining Grand National Tour, which runs through Aug. 9. Lamar previously headlined Coachella in 2017, while SZA performed the following year, though not in the top slot. For years, Coachella fans have been wondering when she would get a headlining turn, and coming off the heels of their 39-date international tour, next year could be that time. Another name that has been thrown around is "Drivers License" singer Olivia Rodrigo. She made her Coachella debut in 2024 as a special guest for No Doubt, performing "Bathwater" with Gwen Stefani and rocking out on stage with the legendary band. When she kicked off her Guts tour in Palm Desert last year, Rodrigo showed she's got the energy, spunk and talent to lead a massive crowd. Pop singers Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan only just made their Coachella debuts in 2024, but people are already hoping to see them back. Some are also hoping for a Dua Lipa appearance, which would mark her first time as a billed artist at the festival. There were rumors that she was offered a slot in 2024, but she "demurred due to timing," according to Hits Daily Double. There's also usually at least one rock group in the headlining slot: Green Day, No Doubt, Radiohead, Guns N' Roses, for example. Fans are pointing to Rage Against the Machine, who performed at the inaugural Coachella in 1999 and headlined in 2007. The group was set to headline the 2020 festival, but it was canceled that year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many thought that Rage would headline the post-COVID festival in 2022, but the band did not appear on the lineup that year. Ema Sasic covers entertainment and health in the Coachella Valley.
