The Coachella 2026 lineup is here—and the internet has thoughts. On this episode of Educate Your Earbuds, we break down what this year’s lineup really says about the future of music festivals, from the surprisingly early drop to the booking choices that have everyone arguing in group chats.

We talk headliners, including Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G, and why one name alone may explain how Coachella sold out so fast. From pop girl domination to global crossover appeal, this lineup feels like a turning point—and we’re getting into it.

Plus, my must-see Coachella 2026 artists and genre-based picks to help you plan your weekend whether you’re going in person, streaming from home, or just here to judge the lineup. If you love festival discourse, music trend analysis, and slightly unhinged Coachella opinions, this episode is for you.
