The music. The art. The moments. The memories.
The 2026 Coachella Valley Arts and Music Festival comes to a close Sunday, April 19, with a history-making lineup and a number of surprises, too.
The two-weekend festival closes out its 25th year with Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber and Karol G, the first Latina headliner at the festival, leading the lineup. Dozens of acts performed, many on the schedule, while other artists made cameo and surprise appearances and joined in on stage.
It’s a celebration for those in attendance, taking in the sights and the variety of musical acts on the Empire Polo Club grounds. Making memories with new friends and old.
