SZA, Tame Impala and Dua Lipa to headline Coachella 2027, with Madonna returning to the desert

SZA, Tame Impala and Dua Lipa will headline Coachella 2027, with Daddy Yankee in the fourth headliner spot, according to the lineup released after weeks of speculation. The festival runs April 9-11 and April 16-18.

SZA will be the third Black woman to headline the festival, following Beyoncé in 2018 and Doja Cat in 2024. She performed at this year’s festival as a surprise guest during Justin Bieber’s set.

Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker is making his fifth trip to the desert and his second as a headliner. He first topped the bill in 2019, becoming the first Australian artist to do so.

Dua Lipa will headline for the first time. She previously made a surprise appearance in 2017 alongside Martin Garrix, who also returns this year.

Madonna will play the Dance Tent, the same stage where she made history in 2006 as a major pop act performing at the festival, when she presented her “Confessions on a Dance Floor” show. Next year, she promises a new show and new music. She was out on the polo fields just last year when she joined Sabrina Carpenter’s headlining set Weekend 2 as a surprise guest.

Don Toliver is also on the lineup, along with Caroline Polachek, Robyn, Zara Larsson, Steve Lacy, Kelela and Kehlani. Justice will debut a show called “Blinded by the Lights.”

Rock acts include Social Distortion and Angine de Poitrine.

Daft Punk fans hoping for a reunion to mark 20 years since the duo’s live album “Alive 2007” will be disappointed, as the group is (of course) not on the bill. However, the 86-year-old legendary “Father of Disco” Giorgio Moroder is scheduled to perform Friday. Moroder is featured on a song on one of their most famous albums.
