Spanning two weekends from April 12-14 and 19-21, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival unfolds at the Empire Polo Field in Indio, CA, showcasing identical lineups each weekend. This year’s installment boasts a stellar lineup representing a diverse range of genres including pop, ’90s indie rock, hip-hop, reggaeton, and K-pop.
Who’s headlining the Coachella 2024 lineup?
Headlining this year’s festival are No Doubt, Lana Del Rey, Tyler, the Creator, and Doja Cat. Joining them on the lineup are notable acts such as J Balvin, Peso Pluma, Blur, Ice Spice, Jhené Aiko, Lil Uzi Vert, Justice, Bleachers, and many others.
When will the Coachella set times be released?
The organizers typically do not unveil set times for Coachella until the week of the festival, sometimes even just a day prior. Keep an eye out here in April, as we will promptly update with the set times once they are released.
However, there’s one exception: the 21-plus Heineken House has already disclosed its set times, which you can find further down this page.
Where’s the festival map for this year?
Like the schedule, the festival map tends to be released just before the gates open. Recent editions have seen some significant changes to accommodate the growing crowd capacity, such as relocating the Sahara tent. In 2022 and 2023, the maps resembled pre-2020 editions, with minor changes like the Yuma tent shifting slightly north.
However, this year brings notable alterations. The Sahara tent will relocate once more, from the southwest corner to a field adjacent to the Do LaB stage. In the former Sahara tent area, you’ll now discover Quasar, an open-air stage featuring DJs with extended three-to-four-hour sets.
