Among the acts scheduled for Friday are Sabrina Carpenter, who has described her set as “the most ambitious show” that she’s ever done, and electronic artist Anyma, who will debut a new production titled Æden. The lineup also includes The xx, marking their return to live performances after an eight-year hiatus, and Blood Orange, set to become the festival’s first artist to perform entirely in the round.

Additional performances across the day include KATSEYE, Turnstile, Disclosure, Dijon, Moby and Central Cee, alongside a wide range of emerging and established acts. Artists such as Lykke Li, Ethel Cain, Slayyyter and Teddy Swims are also scheduled to appear across various stages.

The livestream will feature enhanced viewing options this year, with the Coachella Stage, Outdoor Theatre and Sahara stage broadcasts available in 4K for the first time. Organisers have also introduced improved navigation across channels to support the expanded digital audience.

Friday’s schedule runs from 04:00 PST through to midnight, with headline performances beginning later in the evening. Sabrina Carpenter is set to perform at 21:05 PST on the main stage channel, while The xx will appear earlier in the evening.
