Sabrina Carpenter's headlining set at Coachella will be one for the books.
In a new interview with Marc Jacobs for Perfect magazine, the "House Tour" singer shared some insight into her upcoming appearance at the 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, describing it as "the most ambitious show I've ever done." She's set to take the stage April 10 and April 17, per People.
"It's probably the most time I've ever had to actually just sit down and talk about a show as I'm building it," she said. In fact, the plan for her set has been months in the making. "Most of the time, you're really quickly thrust into physical rehearsals, but this time around we started this process around seven months ago. So it's been a long journey. It will be very special."
Carpenter's reappearance at the Indio, California, festival will be her first time back since her Coachella debut in 2024, and she is looking forward to the "surreal" experience of returning back to the desert.
"That was a really special day for me, the day my song 'Espresso' came out. I got to play that for the first time at Coachella. And now, two years later, we're back," she said, adding, "And I think that's what makes this show feel really, really surreal: getting to celebrate all the songs that have come after it, and just how many lives they've lived since they've come out."
In addition to Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Karol G and Anyma are set to headline the festival across two weekends alongside a star-studded lineup of musicians and artists.
