Musical Christmas has come exceptionally early, with Coachella dropping its 2026 lineup on a seemingly unremarkable Monday night (Sept. 15) in September.
This surprisingly early Coachella talent announcement includes its regular roster of pop superstar headliners, with Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber and Karol G taking top billing among dozens of other genre spanning acts.

And as always, there’s a long list of electronic artists playing the festival. The name in the biggest font is Anyma, whose mention is floating at the bottom of the poster in a position that in previous years has been reserved for artists including Travis Scott, Calvin Harris and Swedish House Mafia, all of whom played the mainstage in their respective years.

Meanwhile Boys Noize, who’s been opening for Nine Inch Nails on their current Peel It Back tour, will play alongside the industrial lords as Nine Inch Noize. Major Lazer will play Coachella for the first time in years and Kaskade, Disclosure and Solomun will also get big looks, with their names on the lineup’s upper levels.
Dance acts typically play across most of Coachella’s myriad stages, composing the entire daily lineups for the club-focused Yuma tent, getting marquee spots in Sahara and often also playing on the Outdoor Stage, the Mojave and Gobi tents and occasionally the mainstage as well.
Additionally, the Quasar stage that debuted at Coachella in 2024 and hosts extended b2b sets typically announces its lineups (which in the past two years have been different for each weekend of the festival) much closer to the event in April, as does the the Do Lab stage, an electronic music nexus that’s been a Coachella staple since the festival’s earliest years.
Coachella returns to Indio, Calif., over two weekends April 10-12 and 17-19, 2026. These are all the electronic artists currently on the lineup.
