Coachella 2025 Weekend 2 saw an unexpected highlight when “Weird Al” Yankovic joined Yo Gabba Gabba! on stage for a rendition of “Rainbow Connection,” electrifying fans and igniting fresh speculation about the 2026 lineup.
This surprise collab follows a curious chain of guest appearances: The Aquabats brought out Yo Gabba Gabba! in 2024, who then featured Yankovic a year later, fueling hopes that “Weird Al” might return to headline next year — possibly with his own surprise guests.
Diehard fans on Reddit and social media are calling this move “overdue,” pointing to iconic hits like “Amish Paradise” and “Eat It” as perfect festival-set staples. The grassroots push is gaining momentum, putting added spotlight on Coachella’s booking choices ahead of their 2026 announcement.
No official word yet from the festival, but with this viral moment, “Weird Al” has become a top contender for a major Coachella spot in 2026. Stay tuned for lineup updates right here.
