Mark your calendars.
Coachella 2023 is officially a go. The infamous Indio music festival has confirmed the dates for its 2023 iteration and — no surprise here — it’ll take place yet again during its usual time slot in mid-April.
Though much of the additional details of the festival, including the headliners and lineup, are still under wraps, we do know that Frank Ocean will return to headline the festival in 2023. Ocean was originally scheduled to headline the 2020 iteration of the festival, though we all know how that turned out. He wasn’t available to perform for 2022, but the festival managed to snag a spot in his schedule for next year [if he doesn’t bail first], the Los Angeles Times reported back in 2021.
The music festival returned for its first post-pandemic event back in April 2022 with Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, and Swedish House Mafia with The Weeknd as its headliners. The two weekends were packed with surprises, reunions, and special guests as Eilish brought on Damon Albarn during her sets, while Styles invited Lizzo and Shania Twain. K-pop groups 2NE1 also shocked audiences with a surprise reunion, and girl group aespa made their stateside festival debut with a performance as part of 88rising’s Head In The Clouds Forever showcase.
Advance passes for the 2023 festival go on sale soon. Read on for everything we know about Coachella 2023 including the exact dates, the lineup so far, and how to snag tickets.

While headliners haven’t yet been announced, in an August 2021 interview with the Los Angeles Times, Goldenvoice founder Paul Tollett said Frank Ocean — who was originally announced as a 2020 headliner before that year’s festival was canceled — is set to headline in 2023 instead. Whoever else ends up in the desert will follow a year that saw Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, The Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia electrify the crowd of festivalgoers with their headlining sets — with help from surprise appearances by Shania Twain, Lizzo, Damon Albarn and Hayley Williams.
Other highlights from Coachella’s 2022 iteration included a surprise set by Arcade Fire during weekend 1 to promote their sixth studio album We, as well as a reunion by 2NE1 during 88rising’s stellar “Head in the Clouds Forever” showcase. [During weekend 2, aespa took the group’s place in the lineup to make their U.S. festival debut.]
