The lineup for the 2027 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has been officially revealed, ending months of speculation among fans and industry insiders. Dua Lipa, SZA, and Tame Impala have been confirmed as the main headliners for the upcoming California event. The festival is scheduled to take place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, with performances spanning two weekends: April 9 to 11 and April 16 to 18.
Madonna will headline the dedicated dance tent, joining a roster that includes Zara Larsson, Robyn, Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, and Daddy Yankee. This marks a notable return for Madonna to the festival, occurring 21 years after she first headlined the dance tent around the release of her 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor. Earlier this year, she released a sequel titled Confessions II, which reached number one on both the US and UK charts.
Rumors regarding the 2027 lineup have circulated widely in recent weeks. SZA appeared to confirm her booking earlier this week by sharing an Instagram story that teased the phrase SZAChella, alongside announcements of a new album and tour planned for next year. Her presence at the festival follows her guest appearance during Justin Bieber's headline set earlier this year.
Tame Impala's inclusion marks the group's return to the desert after they previously headlined the festival in 2019. For Dua Lipa, the 2027 slot represents a historic achievement, as it will be the first time a British female solo artist has headlined Coachella. She previously made a surprise appearance during Martin Garrix's set in 2017.
The 2027 lineup features a diverse array of global talent beyond the American headliners. International artists confirmed for the event include Adéla, Becky G, Jisoo, Drain Gang, NCT, and Måneskin. British music is also well represented with performances scheduled by Jorja Smith, EsDeeKid, Underworld, Shygirl, and Lambrini Girls.
Emerging artists are a significant part of the announcement, highlighting the festival's commitment to showcasing new talent. The lineup includes young pop artist Underscores, rapper Nettspend, the showgaze duo After, and hyperpop artist Tiffany Day. These acts join the established names to create a varied musical experience for attendees.
This year's festival was headlined by Justin Bieber, Karol G, and Sabrina Carpenter. Sabrina Carpenter's performance received particular acclaim, with Guardian critic Adrian Horton describing it as a dizzying full-scale hybrid production of undaunted vision and immaculate performance.
In other recent news, Emily Eavis denied rumors in August that Madonna was set to play Glastonbury next year, focusing attention back on her confirmed Coachella return. Passes for the 2027 festival go on sale on November 13 at 12 pm Pacific Time. For the fifteenth consecutive year, YouTube will serve as the official livestream partner, providing coverage of both weekends.
