Dua Lipa will headline the 2027 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, becoming the first solo female British artist to top the bill at the Indio, California event.
Organizers confirmed the lineup, placing Lipa alongside Tame Impala and SZA as the primary headliners for the festival’s return to the Empire Polo Club.
The festival is scheduled for two weekends, April 9–11 and April 16–18, 2027, with the same lineup performing across both sets of dates. Dua Lipa is set to headline Friday, Tame Impala will headline Saturday, and SZA is confirmed to close out the shows on Sunday. Additionally, Daddy Yankee has been announced for a special performance slot.
After posting a teaser for a new tour and album on her private Instagram page, she replied to a user who doubted her involvement by identifying Tame Impala and Dua Lipa as the remaining headliners, asserting, “I'm still headlining.” Reports indicate that this leak forced Goldenvoice, the company behind Coachella, to quickly rush out the announcement of their entire lineup.
Goldenvoice oversees more than 2,000 live shows annually across California, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii, Alaska, and Canada, while also recently expanding its portfolio to include North American tours; furthermore, the fact that Golden Voice CEO Paul Tollett had previously seen a BTS concert live and met with HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk sparked speculation that the group might be featured. Ultimately, however, the group was not included on the final bill.

The 2027 roster features a diverse array of international talent. Madonna is set to return to the festival after a surprise appearance alongside this year’s headliner Sabrina Carpenter, performing in the dance tent. “Twenty years ago today, I performed at Coachella. I was in the dance tent, and it was the first time I performed Confessions on the Dance Floor, part one, in America” Madonna said her return pays tribute to her 2006 performance, the first time a pop artist played the event while it was still an indie music festival.
Earlier this year, Madonna appeared as a guest during Sabrina Carpenter’s Weekend 2 set. Other notable artists joining the lineup include Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, Zara Larsson, Kehlani, Don Toliver, Dom Dolla, Kygo, Empire of the Sun, The Neighbourhood, and Becky G. The rock ticket is bolstered by acts such as Pinegrove, and the Damned, while the electronic music programming features artists like Peggy Gou, Giorgioromoder.
Justice is also confirmed for the debut of a show titled “Blinded by the Lights.”
Passes for the 2027 edition go on sale Friday via the festival’s official website. The event will once again be available to fans via a stream on YouTube.
