INDIO, California — Filipino pop sensation BINI is confirmed to perform at Coachella 2026, making history as the first all-Filipino girl group to join the lineup.
The festival, happening April 10–12 and April 17–19, 2026 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, will feature headliners Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G. Bieber will headline Coachella for the first time, while Carpenter returns after her 2024 debut to lead both Fridays of the event. Colombian superstar Karol G, known globally for her reggaeton and Latin pop anthems, joins the bill as a headliner, reflecting Coachella’s continued embrace of international talent.
BINI is confirmed for April 10 and April 17, the opening day of each weekend, where they will share the bill with international acts including The XX, Katseye, and Teddy Swims. Their appearance marks a milestone for P-pop and Filipino representation at one of the world’s most prestigious music festivals.
BINI, an eight-member girl group under ABS-CBN’s Star Music and Star Magic, is often referred to as the “nation’s girl group.” Since their debut in 2021, they have risen to the forefront of P-pop with hit singles like “Born to Win” and “Pantropiko,” earning a loyal fan base known as the Blooms. With their synchronized performances and distinct Filipino pop sound, the group has become one of Southeast Asia’s leading acts.
P-pop, short for Pinoy pop or Philippine pop, is a growing genre that blends global pop influences with Filipino language, style, and identity. Inspired in part by K-pop and J-pop’s polished training and performance systems, P-pop distinguishes itself through Filipino lyrics, storytelling, and cultural flavor. Groups like SB19 paved the way, while newer acts such as BINI and BGYO have pushed the genre into mainstream recognition, with fandoms helping carry P-pop onto international stages.
Launched in 1999, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has grown into one of the most influential cultural events in the world, attracting more than 100,000 festivalgoers each weekend. Known for its star-studded lineups, surprise guest appearances, and large-scale art installations, Coachella has become a career-defining stage for artists ranging from Beyoncé and Blackpink to Harry Styles and Bad Bunny. For many performers, the festival represents a pivotal step toward international recognition.
With their sold-out concerts and viral tracks, BINI’s Coachella performance is expected to cement their place as one of the Philippines’ and Southeast Asia’s most prominent music exports, bringing P-pop to a global audience.
