Goldenvoice has announced the Coachella 2026 lineup, set for April 10–12 and April 17–19 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. This year’s headliners include Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G, alongside marquee sets from The xx, Disclosure, Turnstile, Ethel Cain, FKA twigs, and BIGBANG.
Beneath the pop and EDM glitter, the bill offers plenty for fans of post-punk, punk, and art-rock. Iggy Pop brings his feral energy back to the stage, joined by fellow pioneers Devo, whose satirical new wave and jagged electronics remain as vital as ever. David Byrne appears as one of the most innovative figures in modern music, while The Strokes continue to hold court as torchbearers of the early-2000s indie explosion.
Interpol, one of the key post-punk revival bands, add their brooding New York cool to the festival, contrasting with the raw DIY fire of Brighton punks Lambrini Girls. Chicago’s underground favorites French Police make their Coachella debut, bringing icy post-punk and darkwave minimalism to a massive new audience.
One of the most intriguing additions to the lineup is Nine Inch Noize, a collaboration between Nine Inch Nails and German producer Boys Noize. The pairing first took shape during NIN’s Peel It Back Tour, when Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross began incorporating a special segment with Boys Noize onstage, transforming staples like “Vessel,” “As Alive As You Need Me to Be,” and “Closer” into thunderous, club-ready reinterpretations. Boys Noize — long praised for his high-voltage blend of electro, house, and techno, as well as remixes for artists ranging from Daft Punk to Yeah Yeah Yeahs — pushes NIN’s industrial weight into new electronic territory. Their Coachella set promises to be one of the festival’s most explosive crossovers.
Other punk-adjacent and noise-leaning acts of note include Ceremony and Model/Actriz.
