Punters heading to the California desert can finally start meticulously planning their days out, as the Coachella 2026 set times have officially dropped for the first weekend.

The set times also came with a massive last-minute surprise: Jack White is playing.

In a move that’s becoming a bit of a bizarre Coachella tradition, the former headliner has been parachuted onto the bill not in a prime-time slot, but for a 45-minute performance in the Mojave Tent at the not-very-rock-god hour of 3 p.m. on Saturday. The last time White played the festival was 11 years ago when he was topping the bill. This follows similar surprise afternoon sets in previous years from the likes of Ed Sheeran and Weezer, so there’s no guarantee he’ll be back for weekend two.
