The second weekend of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is never as star-studded as the first, but you’d be surprised how many notable figures — or at least notable to us — still show up in the crowd.
Follow along as we scope out who’s on the grounds at Coachella 2026 Weekend 2.
Note: This story will be updated throughout the weekend as we spot/learn of more people at the fest.
Rob Kellas, Mary Kellas, Cameron ‘Choccy’ Lewis and Ryan ‘Razz’ Eaglen of TPD TV
OK, so they might not be as famous as some other people attending the festival, but to several members of the Desert Sun staff, these guys are the exact kind of celebrities you want to see at Coachella. Earlier this week, Desert Sun reporter Paul Albani-Burgio interviewed Rob Kellas, showrunner for YouTube account TPD TV, about why it’s one of his favorite festivals to review/create content about. So it was particularly funny when we happened to walk right by their campsite on our way into Day 1 of Weekend 2. The YouTubers were super friendly (but we wanted to keep our cool and not ask for a photo), and we’re hoping we run into them again this weekend.
James Charles
Speaking of YouTubers, YouTuber/make-up artist James Charles went to Coachella Weekend 1, and posted a video to his Instagram Friday saying he had so much fun, he was coming back for Weekend 2. If you want to see his very colorful outfit, check out the embedded video above.
Kacey Musgraves
We first got a hint that Kacey Musgraves would at least be attending Weekend 2 of Coachella when on Tuesday, she posted a video of a new mural — promoting her upcoming album, “Middle of Nowhere” — on the side of I-10 in the desert with the caption “Somewhere on the way to Coachella.” Then, later that same day, her name was added to the set time announcement. We now know Musgraves will perform her special Weekend 2-only set at 3 p.m. Saturday in the Mojave, the same time of day and place where Ed Sheeran performed his surprise set at Coachella last year.
Justin Bieber
We of course already know Justin Bieber is in the desert ahead of his Weekend 2 headlining set Saturday, but on Friday, we saw several photos posted to social media that showed the “Yukon” singer and his wife, Hailey Bieber, enjoying a local business. The Biebers took pictures with fans at an Indio restaurant called Thai Hot, and many social media users commented on how happy he looked.
