Katseye at Coachella 2026: start time and everything to know
Apr 09, 2026
Ready for more? Coachella is back in the desert, and this year’s lineup is stacked with big-name debuts, even bigger return acts and a few Internet-breaking moments waiting to happen. Taking place over two weekends in Indio, California, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival once again bri
ngs together a mix of global superstars and fast-rising acts.
And while headliners tend to grab the spotlight, plenty of eyes this year are locked on one group in particular: Katseye. If you’ve been anywhere near pop culture lately, you’ve probably seen their name pop up. The six-member (currently performing as five) global girl group has serious momentum—and their California performance is definitely going to be a major turning point.
Whether you’re planning your night around them or just curious what the hype is about, here’s everything you need to know about Katseye’s Coachella debut.
What day is Katseye performing at Coachella?
Katseye will perform on Friday during both weekends of Coachella 2026, April 10 and 17, kicking off the festival’s opening night with one of the most anticipated early-evening sets on the schedule.
What time will Katseye play Coachella?
The group is scheduled to take the Sahara stage at 8pm on Friday. According to the official set times, their performance runs from 8 to 8:45 pm, so expect a tight, high-impact set rather than a drawn-out marathon.
Why is this set such a big deal?
Katseye has spent the past year racking up viral hits, major brand deals and even Grammy buzz, so this performance is sure to feel like more than your typical festival set.
They’ve also been dealing with a recent shake-up: member Manon is currently on hiatus, so it’s unclear what the group’s dynamic will look like onstage. Still, expectations are high. The group has already hinted that their Coachella performance is meant to feel “very grand” and potentially mark a new phase in their evolution.
What songs can we expect from the set? Or any special guests?
No official setlist has been released, but it’s a safe bet you’ll hear fan favorites like “Gnarly” along with some newer material—and plenty of choreography to match.
Can I watch a live stream of Katseye?
Coachella is live streaming seven stages on YouTube, so you can tune into the feed for the Sahara tent on Friday night, from 8 to 8:45pm, right below.
What’s the rest of the Coachella 2026 schedule like?
Friday’s lineup is led by Sabrina Carpenter and Anyma, but the rest of the weekend is just as stacked. Saturday is headlined by Justin Bieber, with sets from the Strokes, Giveon, Addison Rae, Labrinth, PinkPantheress and Jack White, among others. Then on Sunday, Karol G takes top billing, alongside Young Thug, Iggy Pop, FKA twigs, Clipse and more.
