For Carpenter, this is a landmark moment in her career. Having transitioned from acting into music, she has built a catalogue of sharp pop singles that have dominated global charts. Her headline slot signals her arrival as one of pop’s central figures and is expected to draw some of the festival’s largest crowds.

Karol G’s Sunday billing continues the growing visibility of Latin artists on the festival’s biggest stage. Following Bad Bunny’s headline set in 2023, her inclusion reflects the global reach of reggaeton and urbano, as well as Coachella’s ongoing commitment to diversity among its headline acts.
