The ultimate list of Latino artists at Coachella 2024

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is almost two weeks away from showcasing top artist performances. The 23rd installment will highlight 21 Latino acts including Peso Pluma, J Balvin, Ice Spice, Bizarrap, Young Miko, Deftones, Carin Leon and other rising stars. 

Latinos have been integral to the Coachella stage for years. Zack de la Rocha from Rage Against the Machine was the first Latino headliner at the inaugural fest in 1999. Since then, performances by Julieta Venegas, Calle 13, Café Tacvba, Rico Nasty and many others have graced the desert stage. Last year, Puerto Rican sensation Bad Bunny made headlines as the first Spanish language artist to headline the festival. 

The festival spans two weekends, April 12 through 14 and April 19 through 21, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, attracting approximately 125,000 attendees daily. Last month, Lana Del Rey, Tyler, the Creator, Doja Cat, and No Doubt were revealed as the 2024 headliners.
