The first weekend of Coachella 2026 is only a few days away. Set times just dropped on Coachella’s socials. While the conflicts are inevitable, Mic Drop has you covered. Each day of the festival is stacked, but we hand picked every artist we think you should see this weekend.
Slayyyter
Taking the number one slot for my most anticipated set at this year’s Coachella is Slayyyter. Fresh off the release of her new album WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA, Slayyyter has seen rave reviews on the project. In recent interviews, the singer shared that her set this weekend will be her first ever with a live band. After putting out what is shaping up to be one of the best releases this year, fans are eager to see how she’ll bring the songs to life on stage. Catch her at 3pm on the Mojave stage.
54 Ultra
Speaking of artists gaining traction, 54 Ultra continues to turn heads with his retro-soul tunes. Ahead of his Coachella debut, the singer released two brand new songs today. “I’m Hooked” leans more into soft rock with a steady beat accompanied by acoustic guitars. On “Turnaround” the singer indulges in sweet brass production and smooth, sultry percussion. Intrigued? 54 Ultra plays at 7:50 on the Sonora stage.
Anyma
This year’s biggest special guest takes the Coachella Stage on Friday night. Anyma will close out the festival’s first night premiering a brand new show. Over the course of his career, Anyma has become a festival staple worldwide with their breathtaking visuals. Fans have no idea what to expect from this set, but we promise you that it is one you will not want to miss. Catch his closing set at midnight on Friday.
Foster The People
Foster The People are one of the essential bands from the 2010s. They’re making their long awaited return to Coachella on Sunday. Whether you are a fan of the hits or obsessed with the deep cuts, we promise the vibes will be absolutely immaculate. The band’s last full length project dropped in 2024. Will the band kick off a brand new era this weekend? The only way to find out is on Sunday at 6:45 at the Outdoor Theater.
Prospa
If you’re looking for nonstop dancing, we got you covered. Dynamic duo Prospa are bringing their energetic house tunes to the desert this weekend. The Yuma tent is one of my personal favorite stages at Coachella. Everything from the disco balls to the strobe lights and lasers to the infectious energy makes it hard to leave. We also give the Yuma tent bonus points for having AC. Catcha Prospa at 7:15 on Friday.
Addison Rae
Closing out our list is one of 2024’s breakout artists Addiosn Rae. The singer took to social media the other day to let fans know that she’s debuting a brand new show at Coachella this weekend. After having a massive year with rave reviews on her self titled debut album, the singer will make her Coachella debut on the Main Stage at 5:40.
There you have it, our must sees at Coachella 2026!
