Inside the Best Parties of Coachella 2026

818 Outpost

Kendall Jenner’s 818 Tequila returned to the desert for its fourth annual Outpost, once again drawing one of the weekend’s most high-wattage daytime crowds. Set against a retro-futurist backdrop inspired by Palm Springs modernism, the open-air space quickly filled with guests, including Kylie Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian Barker, Lizzo, Winnie Harlow, and Damson Idris, who all flitted between shaded lounges and the main stage as the afternoon unfolded. A set by Kaytranada anchored the day, drawing a packed crowd that only grew louder when Justine Skye joined him onstage, followed by an impromptu appearance from Lizzo that pushed the energy even further. Nearby, Jenner hosted friends and family inside the Delilah Reserve Lounge, offering a more intimate contrast to the dance floor just steps away. Throughout the space, revellers cooled off with Ranch Waters, Desert Spritzes, and frozen cocktails while drifting between activations, which included a sprawling open-air food garden, interactive brand moments, and a steady stream of photo-ready installations.

Marc Jacobs’ Eyewear Bash

On Friday evening, festival goers headed to the Mirabella Estate in the Coachella Valley to celebrate the launch of Marc Jacobs’ new eyewear line. Cohosted by Adriana Lima—the face of the campaign—the pre-sunset party brought together a crowd including Delaney Rowe, Ellie Thumann, Cailin Russo, Marta Pozzan, Akira Akbar, Summer Rachel Warren, and Hannah Meloche. It wasn’t just the shades in the spotlight either, as many debuted the as-of-now-unreleased Scene bag too. As Harmony took to the decks, light bites came courtesy of Chef K to compliment cocktails by Casa Dragones tequila. The fete also highlighted the Marc Jacobs brand’s ongoing partnership with Tao Group Hospitality, with this Coachella outing marking the first of several activations to follow this year. As the sun set, the fun rolled over into Desert Nights after-party at Zenyara Estate.
