The 2026 Coachella lineup is generating polarizing reviews from fans online. Among the big acts taking part in this year’s music festivities are Justin Bieber, Karol G and Sabrina Carpenter.
This year’s lineup has a tough act to follow from 2025. Lady Gaga was among the big headliners the last time out, with her show being credited as one of the best they’ve ever seen. She became only the second woman to headline the festival, while groups like Green Day generated a huge buzz as well.
For better or worse, fans had a lot to say about Tuesday’s big reveal.
Some fans are excited for the Coachella 2026 lineup, but others think it’s “garbage”
For over 20 years Coachella has played to massive crowds. It’s built a reputation for attracting fans from around the world to Indio, California in April. It may not be so easy to sway some people to come this year given the performers.
“This actually might be the worst Coachella lineup I’ve ever seen,” said one fan online
“I don’t think there has ever been a worse Coachella lineup in the history of the festival… and I’m really not one for hating on Coachella. This was supposed to be my senior year but the lineup is so genuinely garbage I don’t want to spend my money on it.” another noted
While many weren’t thrilled with the lineup revealed, many are still excited to attend.
“the coachella lineup also doesn’t even matter it’s the best festival in the world and i will NEVER stop going. it’s magical!!!!!” said this fan
“This will be grand,” said someone else.
There’s still expected to be a massive audience for the event, regardless of people’s feelings. There’s usually plenty of celebrities that tend to show up for these events.
This year’s music and arts festival takes place April 10-12 and April 17-19.
