Headliners and the bill

Organizers announced the Coachella 2027 lineup on 11 November 2026, naming Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA as the three leading acts. According to the reports, Dua Lipa will top the Friday bill across both weekends, Tame Impala will play the Saturday performances and SZA will close the Sunday programme. Reports describe Dua Lipa as the first British solo woman to headline the festival. Tame Impala return to the top of the bill for the first time since 2019, when they became the first Australian headliners, and the band was formed by Kevin Parker in Perth in 2007. SZA confirmed her place with an Instagram post that hinted at 'SZAChella', and according to AP she had already joined Justin Bieber on stage as a surprise guest earlier this year. Daddy Yankee is billed as an unofficial fourth headliner and makes his festival debut, after releasing his first concept album, 'La Postal', in October 2026.

Madonna and the wider lineup

Madonna returns to the Dance Tent, 20 years after her first performance on that stage to present the album 'Confessions on a Dance Floor'. She also made an unannounced appearance at this year's festival, singing 'Bring Your Love' with Sabrina Carpenter. The wider lineup includes Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, Robyn, Zara Larsson, Steve Lacy, Kehlani, Jisoo, Diljit Dosanjh, Tiesto, Kygo, Maneskin, Four Tet, Underworld, Giorgio Moroder, Peggy Gou and Social Distortion, among others. Diljit Dosanjh returns after becoming, in 2023, the first artist to sing in Punjabi at the festival. Dua Lipa and SZA will be reunited on the bill, following their shared headline slots at Glastonbury in 2024.

Dates, venue and tickets

The festival will be held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, on 9 to 11 April and 16 to 18 April 2027. Organizers expect more than 100,000 attendees each day across the two weekends. YouTube will stream the performances live for the 15th year and remains the exclusive online broadcast partner. Ticket presale opens on Friday, 13 November through the festival's official website, and the timeline below sets out the key dates.

Speculation before the announcement

Rumours that rapper Drake would headline circulated before the lineup was released. In.gr reports that these were only speculation, and that Drake reacted with a crying-face emoji under the festival's post. The same outlet notes that Coachella has leaned toward Gen Z audiences, while organizers have tried to attract Gen X fans by booking acts such as Devo, Kraftwerk and Iggy Pop. Roger Waters and Paul McCartney, by in.gr's account, belong to the festival's earlier editions. The 2027 bill is the next test of whether that broader appeal holds.
