The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival posted set times 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 “SNL” with host Jack Black over the weekend, will be the opening performer in the Mojave Tent on Saturday playing from 3-3:45 p.m.
White is the latest festival alum added to the bill for a surprise slot in recent years, joining the likes of Weezer and Ed Sheeran in 2025, Blink-182 in 2023 Arcade Fire in 2022.
White last headlined the festival as a solo act in 2015. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last year as a member of the White Stripes, which played Coachella in 2003.
The sold-out festival is topped by Sabrina Carpenter on Friday, Justin Bieber on Saturday and Karol G on Sunday. Carpenter has the earliest headlining spot of the three, with a set scheduled for 9:05-10:35 p.m. Following Carpenter on opening night is electronic artist Anyma, who is debuting a production called “Æden” at midnight on the Coachella stage.
Nine Inch Noize, the collaboration between Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor and German producer Boys Noize, will be in the Sahara Tent on Saturday night from 8-8:45 p.m.
Coachella hasn’t announced Weekend 2 set times yet.
Earlier on Monday, Coachella posted more information about the mysterious Radiohead activation on the poster dubbed “The Bunker.”
A post on Coachella’s Instagram called it the debut of “Radiohead Motion Picture House Kid A Mnesia” with a 75-minute-long large format film from band frontman 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 see, but there’s a reservation system for a time slot. People who can’t make a reservation will be admitted on a first come, first served basis.
On the Coachella website, it describes the Bunker as being located near the Sahara Tent.
