Sabrina Carpenter's raunchy act to a surprise K-Pop appearance: All the biggest moments from Coachella 2026

Sabrina brought old Hollywood glamour to the desert on Friday night for her headliner debut, two years after she predicted this moment when she closed her mid-afternoon set in 2024 with the words: "See you back here when I headline!"

Now, in 2026, the bona fide popstar entertained fans with a five-act immersive display that included theatrical costume changes, a short film narrated by Sam Elliot, and surprise appearances by Susan Sarandon and Will Ferrell.

Katseye made sure their Coachella debut was one to remember when they were joined by the band Huntr/x from KPop Demon Hunters.

The ladies behind the fictional K-Pop act — Ejae (Rumi), Audrey Nuna (Mira), and Rei Ami (Zoey) — made a surprise appearance to sing their Oscar-winning song "Golden" with the band.

Yoonchae Jeong and Megan Skiendiel took turns on the opening lines before, one by one, the three Huntr/x ladies stepped into the spotlight.
