Los Angeles-based dance event promoter Framework has announced the lineup for its fifth annual Coachella party, Framework In the Desert.
Happening during the first weekend of Coachella 2026, April 10-12, the bill features a Friday night lineup with a DJ set from Disclosure, Kettama b2b Prospa and shows by Riordan and Azzeca. Saturday night will feature performances by Mochakk, Boys Noize and Max Dean b2b Luke Dean. Sunday night will feature sets by Armin Van Buuren, Marlon Hoffstadt, Chloé Caillet and Bullet Tooth.
These performances will happen upon the Long Feng Art Car, which made its Burning Man debut in 2024 and also rolled up for Framework’s 2025 Coachella-adjacent shows during its first appearance outside of Burning Man.
Framework In the Desert 2026 happens at Atlantic Aviation, a private airstrip in Thermal, Calif., roughly eight miles from the Coachella site. A ticket presale opens on March 5 at 10 a.m. PT, with the general on sale beginning that same day at noon PT. Framework In the Desert 2026 is presented by Las Vegas’ Wynn Nightlife, CUSP and Corso Marketing Group.
There’s a good amount of overlap between Framework In the Desert and the Coachella lineup itself, with Van Buuren set to play the festival’s Quasar stage during weekend two, Mochakk on the bill for both Sunday nights of the festival, Boys Noize scheduled to play with Nine Inch Nails as Nine Inch Noize and Azzeca, Disclosure, Hoffstadt, the Dean cousins, Prospa, Caillet and Riordan also on the Coachella 2026 bill.
Framework In the Desert organizers report that the event’s 2025 edition welcomed roughly 14,000 people over three days.
