Bini to Make History as First All-Filipino Group at Coachella 2026

Bini, the acclaimed Filipino girl group, is set to make history at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2026. The group will be the first all-Filipino act to grace the festival’s stage, performing on April 10 and April 17, the opening and closing days of the event. This milestone follows their successful Biniverse World Tour 2025, which included performances in major cities such as New York, Dubai, and London.

Coachella, known for its diverse lineup and vibrant atmosphere, will take place over two weekends, from April 10 to 12 and April 17 to 19, 2026, in Indio, California. Bini’s participation marks a significant moment for Filipino artists, as they join an increasing number of Asian performers at the festival. Their rise is paralleled by fellow P-pop group SB19, which also showcased their talent at Singapore’s Music Matters festival earlier this year.

Notable Acts Join Bini on the Lineup

The festival’s lineup includes several prominent Asian artists, enhancing its global appeal. The iconic K-pop group BigBang is scheduled to perform on April 12 and April 19. This will be their first appearance as a trio since the MAMA Awards in November 2024. Additionally, Taemin from Shinee will deliver solo performances on April 11 and April 18.

Newly formed global girl group Katseye will also take the stage on the festival’s opening and closing days. Other notable acts include the Japanese hip-hop duo Creepy Nuts, known for their anime theme songs, and Fujii Kaze, a singer-songwriter gaining international recognition. Alongside these artists, festival headliners include Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and reggaeton star Karol G.

The inclusion of Bini and other Asian performers is part of a broader trend at Coachella. Since 2019, when Blackpink became the first all-girl K-pop group to perform, the festival has welcomed a growing number of Asian acts. The festival’s history also includes Epik High, one of the first K-pop groups to perform in 2016, and Jackson Wang, who made headlines as the first Chinese solo artist to perform in 2022.

This evolution in the festival lineup reflects a commitment to diversity and the increasing popularity of Asian music across global markets. The inclusion of artists from diverse backgrounds not only enriches the festival experience but also highlights the changing landscape of the music industry.

Bini’s landmark performance at Coachella 2026 is more than just a personal achievement for the group; it symbolizes the growing influence of Filipino artists in the global music scene. As they prepare to take the stage, anticipation builds among fans worldwide, eager to witness this historical moment unfold.
