Sabrina Carpenter returned to Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2026 as a headliner, delivering a cinematic, Old Hollywood-inspired performance packed with hits and theatrical storytelling.

Setlist highlights:

  • “House Tour”
  • “Taste”
  • “Busy Woman”
  • “Manchild”
  • “When Did You Get Hot?”
  • “Please Please Please”
  • “We Almost Broke Up Again Last Night”
  • “Nobody’s Son”
  • “Because I Liked a Boy”
  • “My Man on Willpower”
  • “Go Go Juice”
  • “Such a Funny Way”
  • “Sugar Talking”
  • “Don’t Smile”
  • “Feather” (with elements of “Copacabana”)
  • “Bed Chem”
  • “Juno”
  • “Espresso”
  • “Goodbye”
  • “Tears”

The performance leaned heavily into narrative and spectacle. Will Ferrell made a surprise appearance as a comedic electrician, staging a fake power outage before “fixing” the show and bringing Carpenter back onstage.

Voiceovers and appearances from Susan Sarandon and Samuel L. Jackson added to the show’s cinematic “Sabrinawood” concept, blending music with film-style storytelling.

Rather than relying on musical guest features, Carpenter focused on immersive visuals, costume changes, and dramatic interludes, cementing her set as one of the most talked-about performances of the festival.
