Coachella 2027 Lineup: Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA to Headline as Madonna Returns After 20 Years

Coachella has revealed the lineup for its 2027 festival, with Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA set to headline the two weekends in Indio, California — and Madonna returning to the desert festival for the first time in 20 years.

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival announced the full bill on Wednesday, November 11. The 26th edition of the festival takes place across two weekends, April 9–11 and April 16–18, 2027, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio. Dua Lipa will headline the Friday nights, Tame Impala will top the Saturday bill, and SZA will close out both Sundays.

Madonna’s return and a stacked bill

The biggest surprise sits one line down the poster. Madonna, the Queen of Pop, will perform in the Dance Tent — her first appearance on a Coachella lineup in 20 years. Reggaeton pioneer Daddy Yankee also receives special top billing, while the rest of the bill spans pop, indie, hip-hop and electronic music.

Friday’s lineup also includes Zara Larsson, JISOO of BLACKPINK, Steve Lacy, Kehlani, Peggy Gou, 86-year-old dance-music icon Giorgio Moroder, Leon Thomas and Social Distortion. Saturday brings Phoebe Bridgers, Robyn, Weezer, Måneskin, Tiësto, Martin Garrix, Underworld, Magdalena Bay, Leon Bridges and Barry Can’t Swim. Sunday’s roster features Don Toliver, Dom Dolla, Kygo, Empire of the Sun, Four Tet, The Neighbourhood, Becky G, Remi Wolf, Tove Lo, Victoria Monét, Caroline Polachek and Chase & Status. K-pop acts NCT and BABYMONSTER will make their Coachella debuts, and Indian star Diljit Dosanjh returns to the festival.

Dua Lipa’s booking is a milestone in itself: she is the first British woman to headline Coachella, and the first solo female British artist to top the bill. SZA, who had confirmed her headlining slot ahead of the official reveal after weeks of speculation, will close both Sundays. The three headliners succeed last year’s bill, which featured Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Karol G and Anyma.

Why this matters

Coachella remains the biggest music festival in the United States, and its lineup sets the tone for the entire festival season. Headliner announcements routinely drive the year’s biggest ticket rushes, and the 2027 bill — with Madonna’s return and three of pop’s biggest current stars — is no exception.

Festival passes go on sale Friday, November 13, at noon Pacific time through Coachella’s official website. YouTube will return as the festival’s exclusive livestream partner for a 15th consecutive year, so fans who cannot make it to Indio will still be able to watch the headliners live.

The lineup reveal capped a busy week in entertainment that also brought the premiere of The Rings of Power Season 3 on Prime Video and tributes to veteran actor Stacy Keach, who died this week.
