Dua Lipa will top the Friday bill at Coachella 2027, the BBC reported. She will be the first solo female British artist to headline the festival. Psych-rock band Tame Impala will headline the Saturday shows, and US singer SZA will close both Sundays.
The festival returns to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, on April 9-11 and April 16-18, according to The Guardian. The BBC said organisers expect more than 100,000 fans each day. Passes go on sale on Friday, November 13, at 12pm Pacific time. YouTube returns as livestream partner for both weekends, for the 15th year.
Madonna will headline the dance tent, The Guardian reported. Earlier this year she released Confessions II, a sequel to her 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor. The record hit number one in the US and UK. The BBC said she made a surprise appearance this year alongside headliner Sabrina Carpenter. In August, Glastonbury's Emily Eavis denied rumours that Madonna would play the UK festival next year.
The wider line-up includes Zara Larsson, Phoebe Bridgers, Robyn, Weezer, Daddy Yankee, Kehlani and Blackpink's Jisoo. Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh also returns. In 2023 he became the first Punjabi language singer to perform at Coachella, the BBC said. Other global names include Becky G, NCT, Drain Gang and Måneskin. British acts Jorja Smith, EsDeeKid, Chase & Status, Underworld and Shygirl are also booked.
The headliners share some history. Dua Lipa and SZA both headlined Glastonbury in 2024. During her set there, Lipa brought out Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker. Tame Impala last headlined Coachella in 2019, while Lipa popped out during Martin Garrix's 2017 set, The Guardian reported.
SZA appeared to confirm her slot earlier this week, according to The Guardian. She posted an Instagram story teasing "SZAChella", along with a new album and tour next year. This year's festival was headlined by Justin Bieber, Karol G and Sabrina Carpenter.
The BBC recalled that Charli XCX played the main stage in 2025 before Green Day's headline slot. After her set, she was pictured wearing a "Miss Should Be Headliner" sash.
