In what may be his final day before being recalled, Supervisor Joel Engardio was able to skip out when the Board of Supervisors meeting ended early, did some door-knocking, and will spend his time phone-banking until the polls close at 8 pm PT. Remember, the first batch of election results is expected to drop at around 8:45 pm Tuesday night, and you can follow the official results here, or at the Chronicle, or on Mission Local's regularly updated recall updates page.

Once upon a time, Coachella used to ring in a new year of festivals and live music by releasing its lineup in January. It arrived in this timeframe with such consistency that those first couple weeks of January were frustratingly slow for the festival's devotees. But those days, apparently, are over. Following up on last year's surprise November lineup drop, Coachella pushed the timeline up two months earlier and revealed its 2026 lineup on Monday, September 15th.

On Monday, the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival shared the lineup for next year's extravaganza and Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G and Anyma are slated to headline. The annual festival is scheduled to return to Indio April 10-12 and 17-19. The impressive lineup also includes hitmakers XX, Disclosure, Nine Inch Noize, Ethel Cain, Teddy Swims, Katseye, Foster the People, Devo, Sexyy Red, and Central Cee on Friday, with Carpenter headlining.

INDIO, Calif. (KABC) -- The Coachella lineup for 2026 is already here! Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber and Karol G are the headliners for the popular music festival next year, organizers announced on Monday. The announcement came as a big surprise to fans. The lineup normally comes out later in the year. In 2025, it was released in November. In a post on social media, Coachella wrote, "Hard launch. Passes on sale Friday, September 19 at 11 a.m. PT.
