A lively Coachella subreddit thread is fueling fan hopes for MGMT, Depeche Mode, and Beach House to join the 2026 lineup.
-
Depeche Mode: Longtime fans are eager for the band’s return since their 2006 Coachella headlining set received strong praise. The nostalgia and demand make them a hot name on the wishlist.
-
Beach House: Their 2016 performances at Outdoor Theatre earned critical acclaim for their dreamy, atmospheric vibe. Still, some insiders note their reportedly difficult experience with the festival’s EDM-heavy crowd then means careful planning would be needed to bring them back successfully.
-
MGMT: With past Coachella sets in 2010 and 2013, opinions on their live shows remain mixed. However, passionate fans maintain hope that MGMT’s surreal and energetic performances will return to the desert stage.
The thread also reveals some fans’ commitment to attending Coachella for the first time in over a decade if any of these acts appear. While all this buzz is rooted in speculation, the lineup’s final shape will hinge on artist availability and Coachella’s broader booking strategy.
