The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival released set schedules for Weekend 1 of the 2026 edition and a former headliner has been added to the lineup.
Jack White, who was the musical guest on “Saturday Night Live” with host Jack Black over the weekend, will be the opening performer at the Mojave Tent on Saturday playing from 3 to 3:45 p.m.
White is the latest festival alum added to the lineup for a surprise slot in recent years, joining the likes of Weezer and Ed Sheeran in 2025, Blink-182 in 2023 and Arcade Fire in 2022.
White last headlined the festival as a solo artist in 2015. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last year as a member of the White Stripes, who played Coachella in 2003.
The sold-out festival is headlined by Sabrina Carpenter on Friday, Justin Bieber on Saturday and Karol G on Sunday. Carpenter has the first headlining spot of the three, with a set scheduled from 9:05 to 10:35 p.m. Following Carpenter on opening night is electronic artist Anyma, who will premiere a production called “Æden” at midnight on the Coachella stage.
Nine Inch Noize, the collaboration between Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and German producer Boys Noize, will be at the Sahara Tent on Saturday night from 8 to 8:45 p.m.
Coachella has not yet announced the set times for weekend 2.
Earlier on Monday, Coachella released more information about Radiohead's mysterious activation at the billboard dubbed “the Bunker.”
A post on Coachella's Instagram called it the debut of “Radiohead Motion Picture House Kid A Mnesia,” featuring a 75-minute long large-format film by band leader Thom Yorke and band artist Stanley Donwood of “sketches, paintings, collages, audio recordings and handwritten notes” captured during the recording of “Kid A” and “Amnesiac.”
It's free to view, but there is a reservation system for a time slot. People who cannot make a reservation will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis.
On the Coachella website, the bunker is described as being located near the Sahara tent.
