Sabrina Carpenter Headlines Coachella with Star-Studded Set

Sabrina Carpenter performed a 20-song set on the main stage during the first weekend of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Friday. The performance featured a pre-recorded short film and several guest appearances.

The festival's first weekend schedule also includes performances by other artists.

Performance Details

Sabrina Carpenter's headlining set consisted of 20 songs. The performance began with a black-and-white, pre-recorded short film. In the film, actor Sam Elliott portrayed a police officer who interacts with Carpenter. According to one source, Elliott's character states, "It's not right out there," before Carpenter proceeds on a desert road.

Guest Appearances

The performance included several guest appearances, both live and pre-recorded:

  • Susan Sarandon appeared in a segment set at a drive-in theater, portraying an older version of Carpenter.
  • Corey Fogelmanis, who co-starred with Carpenter on the television series Girl Meets World, appeared in the same drive-in segment as a carhop.
  • Will Ferrell appeared on stage during the performance wearing an electrician's jumpsuit. Multiple sources describe his appearance as addressing a technical or power interruption.
  • Samuel L. Jackson addressed the audience via a pre-recorded voice message. One source reported the message stated, "Hello, Coachella. This is your spiritual guide. I am here to take you motherf*ckers on this journey to relaxation."

Festival Context and Schedule

The performance occurred during the first of the festival's two weekends. According to multiple sources, other scheduled performers for the first weekend include Justin Bieber, Karol G, Addison Rae, FKA Twigs, Iggy Pop, Turnstile, Katseye, PinkPantheress, David Byrne, and Sombr.

A separate source reports that the festival's second weekend is also underway, featuring headliners Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G, with Kacey Musgraves added as a surprise performer.

That source also notes that the Quasar stage has a new lineup and that Anyma performed a rescheduled world premiere set after the original was canceled the previous week due to strong winds. Coverage of the second weekend is being conducted remotely.
