Coachella 2026 has come and gone—but with dates on the books already for next year, it’s time to start getting hyped for Coachella 2027. The Indio music festival typically marks one of the earliest live music weekends across the country (and maybe we’re a bit biased, but we’d say its lineup outclasses nearly every other music festival, too). The 2027 edition will inevitably bring with it plenty of bands and DJs to see and amazing things to eat and drink between sets (spoiler: food from some of the best restaurants in Los Angeles). Here’s what you need to know.
What is Coachella?
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is an annual music festival held over two weekends in Indio, just east of Palm Springs.
When is Coachella?
The festival is held over two weekends, April 9–11 and April 16–18, 2027.
Where is Coachella?
Not in the city of Coachella, surprisingly. Though most of us simply refer to the fest as Coachella, it’s technically the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. So the event actually takes place at the Empire Polo Club, a large field in the city of Indio (which is part of the larger Coachella Valley, a desert area a couple of hours east of L.A. in Riverside County).
When do Coachella tickets go on sale?
Presale for the 2027 fest starts Friday, May 1, 2026 at 11am. Expect those to sell out quite quickly, but you can count on another round of tickets to go on sale once the lineup is announced, sometime between the fall of 2026 and the winter of 2027.
How much are Coachella tickets?
We hope you’ve been saving up (all of the following prices include fees): General admission for 2027 starts at $599 for weekend one and $549 for weekend two. Shuttle combo tickets start at $729 for the first weekend and $679 for the second. For VIP, passes start at $1,299 for weekend one and $1,249 for weekend two. (All of these prices tend to increase by $50 to $100 if you’re not among the first to grab tickets.) Check out the Coachella website for a wide range of camping rates, as well as info on the payment plan.
What does the Coachella lineup look like?
Though the lineup usually didn’t come along until January for years, the 2025 lineup was announced the November before the fest, while the 2026 lineup came earlier than ever in September. We don’t quite know yet when the 2027 lineup will drop, so stay tuned. But this most recent Coachella lineup included Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Karol G and Anyma, plus additional sets by the XX, the Strokes, Addison Rae, Young Thug, KATSEYE and BIGBANG.
Will Coachella be live streamed?
For 2027, expect live stream info to be announced in the months leading up to the fest. But for 2026, YouTube once again returned as the exclusive live stream partner. You were able to watch streams from seven stages, including a multiview feature that shows four stages at once. Streams typically rerun once between days of the fest, and after that you’ll only find brief clips of performances on the official Coachella channel.
