Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA to headline Coachella 2027

Coachella has confirmed its 2027 headliners: Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA — across two weekends in the Indio desert. The announcement, shared via the festival's Instagram, ends weeks of speculation that SZA herself effectively ended early with a social media tease.

Daddy Yankee rounds out the top of the bill in a special fourth-headliner slot. Justice will also debut a new show called Blinded by the Lights in the Bunker.

For both Dua Lipa and SZA, this marks a first Coachella headline in their own right. Lipa made a surprise appearance at the festival in 2017 alongside Martin Garrix — who is also returning this year — while SZA joined Justin Bieber as a surprise guest at Coachella 2026. Kevin Parker's Tame Impala, by contrast, is a returning act: the band headlined in 2019, when Parker became the first Australian artist to do so, according to Pitchfork.

Madonna is back in the desert for the second consecutive year, this time performing in the Dance Tent — the same venue where she staged her Confessions on a Dance Floor show in 2006. In an Instagram post, she promised a brand-new show and new music.

The wider bill is characteristically sprawling. Pop and R&B bookings include Phoebe Bridgers, Don Toliver, Robyn, Zara Larsson, Steve Lacy, Kelela, and Kehlani. The dance and electronic contingent runs from Four Tet, Underworld, and Giorgio Moroder to Tiësto, Dom Dolla, Peggy Gou, and Martin Garrix. On the rock side, Social Distortion, Weezer, Angine de Poitrine, and Pinegrove — playing their first show in nearly five years — are among the bookings. Caroline Polachek returns, and the bill also features Magdalena Bay, Shygirl, Muna, Drain Gang, Underscores, the Avalanches, Måneskin, and Zack Fox, among others.

Last year's headliners were Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G. Carpenter's sets drew a string of notable guests, including Madonna for Weekend Two.

Passes go on sale Friday at noon Pacific, with an American Express presale beginning 24 hours earlier. Both weekends will stream live on YouTube.

Why it matters — Coachella remains the most-watched US music festival, and the 2027 lineup — headlined by three globally prominent acts across different genres, with a livestream reaching audiences worldwide — sets the tone for the festival season and the broader pop music calendar.
