Sabrina Carpenters Coachella Set Time Sparks Fan Excitement...
Pop star Sabrina Carpenter's Coachella performance time was revealed early Friday, sending fans into a frenzy ahead of the festival's first weekend. The 26-year-old singer is scheduled to take the Sahara Tent stage at 7:45 PM PT on Saturday, April 12, according to the official Coachella app update that dropped Thursday night.
The timing places Carpenter in a prime sunset slot, following viral TikTok artist Chappell Roan and preceding headliner Tyler, The Creator. Industry insiders note this marks Carpenter's biggest festival booking to date, coming just months after her breakout hit "Nonsense" dominated streaming charts.
Social media erupted with reactions as fans scrambled to adjust their schedules. "Sabrina clashing with Lana Del Rey's main stage set is my personal nightmare," tweeted @carpentercore, echoing a common concern among attendees. The scheduling conflict has sparked heated debates in fan forums about which performance to prioritize.
Carpenter's team confirmed she'll debut new material during the 50-minute set, including a rumored collaboration with fellow Coachella performer Bebe Rexha. The announcement comes as Carpenter's Spotify monthly listeners surpassed 25 million this week, cementing her status as one of pop's fastest-rising stars.
Coachella organizers faced technical difficulties with their app Thursday, briefly displaying incorrect set times that added to the confusion. The festival kicks off Friday in Indio, California, with over 125,000 attendees expected daily through Sunday.
Merchandise featuring Carpenter's name reportedly sold out within hours at the festival grounds' pop-up shops Friday morning. Resale prices for Saturday single-day passes jumped 30% on StubHub following the schedule confirmation, with many citing Carpenter's performance as the reason for last-minute purchases.
The singer last performed at Coachella in 2022 as a guest during Olivia Rodrigo's set. This year marks her first official billing at the iconic festival, which continues to dominate social media trends as the most-talked-about music event of April.
