How Do I Get Tickets to Coachella 2026?

Coachella 2026 tickets have officially sold out for both Weekend 1 and Weekend 2. But fret not — fans can also look for Coachella passes via StubHub, where orders are 110% guaranteed through StubHub’s FanProtect program. As a secondary market ticketing platform, StubHub prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

Purchasing Coachella 2026 passes on StubHub is pretty straightforward: after selecting your tickets, buyers may either have their wristbands shipped directly or, if purchasing closer to the event, pick them up at StubHub’s designated Will Call location near the festival grounds, with pickup details provided in the order confirmation email.

As customary in the secondary market, pass prices will fluctuate over the coming months. Be sure to check out StubHub’s Coachella page regularly as the event gets closer to see if prices are dipping. And as stated before, all StubHub orders are protected by the 110% FanProtect guarantee, offering a level of security should any issues arise with ticket delivery or authenticity.

Lastly, Coachella is also offering a waitlist for Weekend 1 and Weekend 2 passes. Sign-up over on Coachella’s official website.

What Types of Passes Are Available?

Coachella 2026 continues the tradition of offering 3-Day passes only — single-day passes are not available. The festival offers both GA (General Admission) and VIP tiers.

VIP Benefits: While VIP access has expanded in recent years (especially in 2025), it doesn’t guarantee pit access to Coachella’s various stages. However, VIP does include:

• Dedicated entry and exit lanes
• Access to preferred parking
• Special food and drink options
• Private entry lane for the Yuma tent
• Enclosed VIP areas by the Coachella Stage, Outdoor Stage, Sahara Tent, and Mojave Tent
• Air-conditioned restrooms and shaded seating areas
• Full no-host bars in VIP areas

What’s the Difference Between Weekend 1 and Weekend 2?

For the first time since the festival extended to two weekends in 2012, Weekend 1 is more expensive than Weekend 2. This price difference reflects several factors:

• The grass is literally greener during Weekend 1 (groundskeepers rehabilitate the fields between weekends, but fresh grass inevitably suffers during the first weekend)
• Higher percentage of livestream coverage and special guests typically appear during Weekend 1
• Different acts on rotating stages: The Quasar and DoLab stages feature different performers each weekend
• Surprise Guests: Recent years have featured surprise set additions split between weekends

Despite these differences, both weekends feature essentially the same lineup and headliners.

So Who Is Actually Playing This Thing?

Coachella’s 2026 lineup is a bit divisive, and a lot of it hinges on how you feel about Justin Bieber. The pop star takes Saturday’s headlining slot for his first-ever solo Coachella performance, joining Sabrina Carpenter (Friday) and Karol G (Sunday) in what might be Coachella’s most pop-centric headlining trio to date. Rounding out the top line is Anyma, the Italian DJ/producer fresh off his Sphere residency, debuting his new show Æden.

The real story is in the undercard, where Coachella has packed an impressively eclectic mix. Punk is having a major moment with Iggy Pop, DEVO, and Turnstile, while indie rock makes a triumphant return via The xx, The Strokes, Interpol, and Wet Leg. Electronic music remains the festival’s backbone with Disclosure, Nine Inch Noize (Nine Inch Nails + Boys Noize), and Kaskade, plus international flavors from BIGBANG, Central Cee, and rising stars like Addison Rae and Sombr.
