Weekend two of Coachella is nearly upon us, and if the first weekend was anything to go by, we’re in for a spectacle. As one of the festival’s 2026 headliners, all eyes were on Sabrina Carpenter last weekend—and the pop star’s theatrical performance more than delivered.
She opened night one in Indio, California by transforming the main stage into a glitzy, Hollywood-inspired set, complete with a sweeping, Hollywood Hills–esque “Sabrinawood” backdrop and a Walk of Fame-style runway.
The wardrobe followed suit: glamorous, retro-leaning, and unmistakably in keeping with Carpenter’s signature aesthetic. The star cycled through four costume changes throughout the show, all designed by Jonathan Anderson.
Back in spring 2024, Carpenter closed out her Coachella debut with a bold promise. “He’s drinking my bath water like it’s red wine/Coachella, see you back here when I headline,” she trilled during one of the ever-rotating outros of Nonsense. It was delivered with her usual wink—Carpenter’s music trades in double entendres and witty punchlines—but this time, she meant it.
Two years later, she has returned to the desert as a headliner—and it’s everything we could have wanted and more. This year’s festival, also headlined by Justin Bieber and Karol G, has already delivered a slate of performances met with feverish crowds.
Missed the first weekend? Consider this your second chance. Weekend two is about to begin, and whether you’re watching from the desert or your living room, here’s everything you need to know.

Where Can I Watch Sabrina Carpenter’s Full Coachella Performance?
If you missed the live stream last weekend, there’s a slight catch. Coachella doesn’t typically upload full sets after the fact, so a complete replay is unlikely, though clips and individual performances are shared on the festival’s YouTube channel.
Missed weekend one? Weekend two offers a second chance. If you’re hoping to catch Sabrina Carpenter’s full set live, your best bet is to tune in on April 18 (Australian time), when she returns to the stage for her second weekend performance.
Does Sabrina Carpenter’s Coachella Set Feature Any Special Guests?
Yes! In keeping with the set’s Old Hollywood theme, Sabrina Carpenter enlisted a string of dazzling cameos, including Susan Sarandon, Will Ferrell, Samuel L. Jackson and Sam Elliott.
Naturally, attention now turns to weekend two, and whether she might up the ante with musical guests. Taylor Swift’s name has already begun circulating, given the pair have collaborated multiple times. You never know!
