The pop star is headlining the main Coachella stage to kick off the second weekend of the festival.

Weekend one of Coachella is a wrap, with plenty of spectacle and surprises. Though Anyma’s late-night set was canceled due to high winds, the rest of the festival was one for the books. Justin Bieber drew one of the weekend’s largest crowds, Katseye stood out with a high-energy performance and Karol G made history as the first Latina artist to headline the festival.
Sabrina Carpenter’s headlining set on Friday was a theatrical, 20-song, Hollywood-themed set that took fans on a journey to “Sabrinaland.” The performance featured elaborate staging, multiple costume changes and surprise appearances from Hollywood actors. It was an ambitious stage production that hit all the high notes of her career so far.
To the dismay of many fans, her weekend two appearance will possibly be the last chance to see her this year, as she’s yet to announce other touring plans in 2026. Here’s everything you need to know about Sabrina Carpenter’s headlining set on weekend two of Coachella 2026.
After a headlining performance on weekend one on April 10, Sabrina Carpenter is scheduled to headline Coachella weekend two on Friday, April 17.
Carpenter will take the Coachella Stage from 9 to 10:40pm, which is a few minutes earlier than weekend one. (That’s actually a relatively early slot for a Coachella headliner, as Anyma will follow at midnight.)
Yes. Carpenter previously performed at Coachella in 2024, where she held a sunset slot on the main stage. That performance marked her transition from Disney-adjacent pop to a more defined, confident stage presence. Her 2026 return as a headliner signals just how quickly her live profile has grown.
Sabrina Carpenter’s weekend one setlist was a 20-song banger that included hits like “Espresso,” “Taste,” “Manchild” and “Tears.” For the second weekend, expect more of the same as well as another elaborate, theatrical stage setup taking fans straight to Sabrinawood.
Fitting for her set’s Hollywood theme, Sabrina Carpenter brought out plenty of celebrity guests, including Susan Sarandon, Will Ferrell, Samuel L. Jackson and Sam Elliot. Here’s hoping that her weekend two set will include musical guests. Speculation has run rampant, from Christina Aguilera and long-shot Taylor Swift to the legendary Miss Piggy, as Sabrina just made a special guest appearance on the new version of The Muppet Show.
Yes. Coachella will once again live stream performances on YouTube across both weekends, including major sets from the main stages. During weekend two, you can catch Carpenter from 9 to 10:40pm on Friday on the main stage feed below.
