First Weekend of Coachella 2026 Features Headlining Performances and Celebrity Attendees in Indio

The first weekend of Coachella 2026 occurred at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. The event drew numerous attendees and performers over Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Headliners delivered sets that included popular songs and thematic elements.

A Latina artist closed out the weekend on Sunday night with a performance of her hits. She became the first Latina artist to headline the festival, which has run for 27 years. The artist addressed the audience about the contributions of previous Latino performers.

“It feels late. It’s been 27 years of this festival going on. com) On Friday night, a singer presented a 90-minute Hollywood-themed set. The performance featured elaborate designs and appearances by two celebrities.”

An interaction with an audience member during the set involved a misunderstanding about a celebratory sound, for which the singer later apologized. Saturday night's headlining set by a pop star included playing videos of earlier songs. The performance divided some fans.

Attendees were observed enjoying the set, including a model wearing a shirt referencing her relationship with the performer. Celebrities were present throughout the weekend. A model and beauty brand founder supported her husband during his set, wearing a cropped shirt paired with a bikini.

She shared photos on social media ahead of the performance.

A resigned prime minister and a singer were spotted exploring the grounds and snacking between performances.

They were seen drinking from a red plastic cup, despite the prime minister's prior ban on such items in his country in 2022. The pair appeared in photos shared on social media. A reality television personality and a Formula One driver attended on Saturday night, dressing casually for the pop star's set.
