Coachella 2026 is here, and one of the most talked-about destinations on the festival grounds isn’t a headliner stage — it’s the towering three-story Red Bull Mirage, positioned directly across from the Quasar Stage in Indio, California. Running across both weekends (April 10–12 and April 17–19), the 20,000-plus-square-foot structure has become the ultimate social hub for electronic music lovers, offering incredible sightlines of the stage, curated programming, and some of the best hospitality at any festival in the world.
The Quasar Stage: Built for Extended Sets
The Quasar Stage features a 100-foot-wide stage with monolithic walls and LED screens, with the walls separated by a triangular DJ stage in the center. Unlike the rapid-fire set rotations found elsewhere at Coachella, DJs here start in the early evening and play longer, extended sets. Yahoo! It’s a format designed to take you on a journey, not just deliver a quick hit.
The stage has become a consistent fixture at Coachella by serving a specific role within the festival’s electronic music landscape — used for artists with established catalogs and long touring histories, reinforcing its reputation as a hub for recontextualizing well-known artists rather than simply introducing new ones.
Weekend One Lineup
Weekend One kicks off on Friday with PAWSA, followed by David Guetta on Saturday, and Fatboy Slim closing out Sunday. KESQ
PAWSA sets the tone on Friday with his signature blend of tech house and driving grooves. His booking reflects the continued visibility of tech house within major festival settings, built through his work with Solid Grooves and consistent appearances across Europe and North America. EDM House Network
David Guetta takes Saturday, and his placement on Quasar positions him outside of Coachella’s mainstage rotation, opening space for a set that can reference his early house roots alongside his later catalog.
Sunday belongs to the legendary Fatboy Slim, whose big-beat classics and decades of rave history make him a perfect fit for a stage built around immersive, long-form performances.
Weekend Two Lineup
Weekend Two opens on Friday with a back-to-back set from Armin van Buuren and Adam Beyer, followed by DJ Snake‘s Pardon My French takeover on Saturday, and Sara Landry‘s Blood Oath experience closing out the festival on Sunday.
The Armin van Buuren x Adam Beyer b2b is one of the most anticipated sets of the entire festival — a collision of trance and techno, two genres that rarely meet on the same stage at a festival of this scale.
DJ Snake brings his Pardon My French collective energy to Saturday, promising a high-energy takeover that blends global dance sounds with festival-ready heat.
Closing out the entire Coachella run is Sara Landry with her Blood Oath concept. She made a major splash with the Blood Oath experience at the Do LaB in 2025, and brings it back to Coachella this year for what promises to be a powerful and immersive finale.
Nobu at Red Bull Mirage
The experience doesn’t stop at the music. Nestled inside the Red Bull Mirage overlooking the Quasar Stage is Nobu at Coachella, offering a reservation-only omakase experience prepared by Nobu’s world-renowned sushi chefs. Reservations through Dorsia include all-day Floor One access to the Mirage, letting diners move seamlessly between elevated dining and the action on the stage below. It’s the rare festival experience where the food is as memorable as the music.
Whether you’re here for the extended DJ sets, the panoramic views from the Mirage’s upper levels, or a Nobu omakase in the desert, the Red Bull Mirage and Quasar Stage combination is unquestionably the most unique destination at Coachella 2026.
