Rumor has it that two of pop music’s biggest names might be taking over the Coachella stage next year. According to Rolling Stone, pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter and Colombian reggaeton and Latin trap star Karol G are in talks to headline the 2026 edition of the festival.

While Goldenvoice, Coachella’s longtime promoter, hasn’t officially confirmed anything yet, insiders say the official lineup is usually revealed in early January — just in time for fans to start planning for the festival’s twin weekends at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.

For Carpenter, this could be a huge career moment. At just 25, she’s already made waves with hits like Espresso and Please Please Please, and a headlining set at Coachella would cement her place among pop’s elite.

Karol G would also be making history, joining a short list of Latin artists to headline the iconic festival. With her reggaeton and urbano hits, she’s become a global powerhouse — selling out stadiums worldwide and dominating streaming charts.

If these rumors hold true, it would be another example of Coachella’s commitment to showcasing a wide variety of global talent. From Beyoncé and Bad Bunny to Harry Styles and BLACKPINK, the festival has consistently put diverse voices at the top of the lineup.

For fans and ticket brokers looking to stay ahead of the onsale rush, tools like Shows On Sale make it easy to track tickets in real time, monitor market trends, and snag the best seats the moment they drop.

Mark your calendars: Coachella 2026 is slated for April 10–12 and April 17–19 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio. Could this be the year Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G take the desert by storm? Fans are already buzzing.
