Festival season just got a major upgrade — and trust us, you’re going to want to be on this guest list.
818 Tequila, the award-winning, hand-crafted tequila brand founded by Kendall Jenner, is officially bringing back its fan-favorite 818 Outpost for its fourth consecutive year — and 2026 might be its most iconic yet.
Taking place on Friday, April 10 during weekend one of Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, the invite-only experience will once again transform Indio into a curated desert dream just minutes from the festival grounds.
Since launching in 2023, 818 Outpost has evolved into one of the most buzzed-about off-site activations of Coachella weekend — and this year, it’s all about aesthetic.
Under Jenner’s creative direction, the 2026 design pulls inspiration from Mid-Century Googie architecture and space-age retrofuturism, blending breezeblock textures with Palm Springs motifs for a Jetsons-esque playground that feels both nostalgic and so Instagrammable.
From live music to luxe lounging, the Outpost is basically your dream desert day party. Guests can sip on signature 818 cocktails like Ranch Waters, Desert Spritzes, and frozen daiquiris (yes, please) while vibing to live performances. There will also be exclusive merch drops for those looking to rep the brand in style.
And because no Celeb Secrets–approved event is complete without next-level experiences, this year’s Outpost is stacked with major brand moments from brands like Cash App (presenting partner), who is set to bring a poolside activation with group-friendly features, sweet treats, and photo ops.
A press release that was serviced earlier today also mentions that Postmates will return with its “Postmates Pit Stop,” featuring foodie favorites from Ggiata, Heavy Handed, and HomeState while The h.wood Group is bringing the iconic Delilah vibe to the desert with an exclusive VIP Reserve Lounge. Snapchat is also set to host a photobooth with custom lenses with LaCroix and Blank Street serving up refreshing sips, including specialty 818 cocktails. Rhode, Lemme, Urban Decay, and Kylie Cosmetics, are also offering immersive moments that will for sure have you leaving with a beauty bag stocked full of goodies.
Plus, expect everything from custom HydroJug engravings to spicy Hot Honey Margaritas with Hot Girl Pickles (yes, that’s a thing and yes, we’re intrigued).

818 Outpost 2026 is happening Friday, April 10 from 1–6 PM PT in Indio, California. The catch? It’s strictly 21+ and invite-only, with a limited number of passes released through 818’s community channels.
“818 Outpost is about coming together to celebrate with delicious tequila in a setting that feels intentional and inspiring,” Jenner shared in a statement. “Each year we build on what we’ve created the year before. We’re so excited for this year’s Outpost and the world we’ve built!”
With next-level design, curated experiences, and a guest list packed with tastemakers, 818 Outpost continues to cement itself as the desert destination outside the festival gates. We’ll be watching closely (and refreshing Instagram) for more details — especially that music lineup.
