Other performers announced for the 2026 festival include Rich Brian, Gia Fu, Tiffany Day, and Warren Hue. The Head In the Clouds show first launched in 2018 at Los Angeles State Historic Park and later expanded to New York, Jakarta, Manila, and China. Meanwhile, KATSEYE has a packed summer performance schedule. The sextet is set to continue their festival run, which started in Lollapalooza Latin America and Estereo Picnic during mid and late March. First, they will perform at Coachella in Indio, California, on April 10, 2026. Then, KATSEYE will appear at Governors Ball on June 5, 2026, and Hinterland Music Festival on July 30, 2026. The group is currently performing as a 5-piece girl band, as Manon was put on hiatus earlier this year. It is still unclear if she will return to KATSEYE for their upcoming shows.
