XG Reveals How Blackpink’s Lisa Reacted to Their Coachella Performance

There’s nothing like a desert date day. 

With Coachella 2026 officially in full swing, stars and music-lovers alike are headed to Indio, Calif., to enjoy the music festival. 

And many will be enjoying headliners Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber and Karol G—with the first weekend kicking off April 10 and second weekend on April 17with a special someone by their side. After all, it’s not uncommon for the celebs to use the festival as a mini getaway in the desert.

From having a dance partner in the crowd (who could forget the adorable PDA from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce last year?) to snapping mandatory photos in front of the Ferris wheel and rainbow tower, Coachella is the place for couples to show off their love—and those desert chic coordinating outfits.

It’s safe to say Hailey Bieber will be in attendance to support Justin, 32, after she expressed her excitement about her husband headlining the Saturday stage. In a post on her Instagram Story after he was announced as a headliner in November, Hailey, 29, wrote, “"BIEBERCHELLA!!!!!!!!! :).” 

The Rhode founder also teased her Coachella appearance in February following Justin’s performance at the Grammys. Sharing a video of herself in the audience pinching her thumb and index finger, Hailey wrote, “and you can really clock that s--t. see you at coachella."

But, not every Coachella couple’s relationship has lasted the test of time. For instance, former Coachella staple Vanessa Hudgens brought along Austin Butler year after year until they officially split in January 2020 following nine years together.

And who could forget when Selena Gomez and The Weeknd attended 2017 Coachella together, only to call it quits on their relationship after 10 months together? 

But though not every desert weekend has led to enduring love, the festival continues to double as a romantic destination, proving there’s nothing a little dance party in the desert can’t fix.

So, without further ado, take a walk down memory lane to revisit all the couples who once attended Coachella together.

The heart wants what it wants, and the "Fetish" singer wanted to go to Coachella with the R&B artist in 2017. However, their romance was short-lived, fizzling out after 10 months together.

One year later, The Weeknd would reunite with his on-and-off girlfriend, Bella Hadid, whom he split from for the final time in 2019.
