Coachella’s 25th anniversary edition, slated for April 10-12 and 17-19, 2026, is stirring up excitement with a fan-driven artist tracker gaining serious traction. Reddit users have kept a comprehensive Google Spreadsheet updated weekly, compiling early confirmations, probable bookings, rumors, and known exclusions — even as contributors juggle busy schedules.
Advance Ticket Sales
While Coachella 2025 advance sales began on May 3, 2024, the 2026 advance ticket launch is expected around early May 2025. Mark your calendars and watch official channels for exact details.
Key Lineup Intel
- Radius Clause Holds Strong: The usual window from December 15 to May 1 restricts artists from playing competing shows in the region, heavily influencing bookings.
- Unlikely Headliners: Big names such as Lady Gaga, Travis Scott, Post Malone, and Kanye West are deemed improbable this year due to conflicting tour schedules and AEG-related commitments.
- Fan Favorite Rumors: Heavy buzz surrounds contenders like Radiohead, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, SZA, and Magdalena Bay, with speculation dividing them across weekends — Radiohead on Friday, Rihanna Saturday, Kendrick and SZA closing Sunday.
- Four Tet’s Quasar Shows: Insider whispers hint Four Tet might dominate Weekend 2 with extended Quasar sets.
- Unexpected Ideas: Some fans hope for a quirky appearance by Weird Al Yankovic at the Outdoor Theater.
The Reddit community’s sharp intel and infectious enthusiasm sets the tone for what could be a monumental Coachella silver jubilee. Official announcements are anticipated early in 2026 — stay tuned here for live updates and confirmed lineup drops.
