Coachella has unveiled its 2027 line-up, with SZA, Dua Lipa and Tame Impala unsurprisingly booked to headline after details of the bill leaked.
The newly released poster confirms the trio will top the bill when thousands of music fans descend on the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, across the weekends of April 9-11 and April 16-18 next year.
For SZA, the announcement caps weeks of growing anticipation from fans who had already become convinced she was destined for the festival’s top slot.
The singer recently added fuel to the speculation by reposting a fan graphic predicting “SZACHELLA”, a 2027 tour and the arrival of her third studio album.
She has also been teasing fresh material, recently sharing a preview of an unreleased track built around a sample of Natanya’s song HUSH.
Madonna is also set to make a return to Coachella. More than two decades after her iconic Sahara Tent set in 2006, during the Confessions on a Dance Floor era, the pop legend is back on the bill following her surprise cameo with Sabrina Carpenter earlier this year and the release of Confessions II.
The world-famous music extravaganza also promises a rare festival appearance from reggaeton heavyweight Daddy Yankee, plus Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, Don Toliver and Becky G.
Another talking point is the inclusion of Giorgio Moroder. The producer, whose pioneering work helped shape modern dance music, will be 86 by the time he performs at the event.
Coachella is also continuing its push beyond traditional live performances. After launching the Bunker attraction last year with an immersive experience inspired by Radiohead’s Kid A and Amnesiac, organisers have now confirmed a new installation titled Justice – Blinded by the Lights.
The appearance further strengthens Justice’s long-standing connection with the festival, where the French electronic duo first played in the desert in 2007. More names will be added.
Last month, it was reported that Dua was “in advanced talks” to headline, after she turned down the world-famous festival in 2023 to appear at Glastonbury instead.
It was also claimed that K-pop megastars BTS held “early talks” with the festival, but ultimately decided it wasn’t the time. BTS did not appear on the final 2027 line-up.
