Coachella 2026 Starts Friday with Set Times and Jack White

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival returns to Indio, California, this weekend for its 2026 edition, drawing thousands to the Empire Polo Club with a diverse lineup headlined by Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G. The event kicks off Friday, April 10, and runs through Sunday, April 12, for the first of two weekends, with set times now released to help attendees navigate the packed schedule across multiple stages.

Organizers announced the detailed timetable on Monday, April 6, revealing a surprise addition: Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jack White will perform a 45-minute set at 3 p.m. Saturday in the Mojave Tent, opening for later acts including Fujii Kaze, Royel Otis, Taemin, PinkPantheress, and headliner Interpol. White, who last headlined Coachella in 2015 and appeared with the White Stripes in 2003, joins the bill just days after debuting new singles "G.O.A.T. and the Broken Ribs" and "Derecho Demonico" on Saturday Night Live. His website lists only the April 11 date, leaving his participation in the second weekend, April 17-19, unconfirmed. This daytime slot follows the festival's tradition of unexpected bookings, similar to recent afternoon appearances...
