The Coachella 2027 lineup is led by Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA. The three artists will headline the festival’s two April weekends in California. Organisers announced the lineup on November 11, confirming three major names for the 2027 edition. The festival will return to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, on April 9 to 11 and April 16 to 18.
Dua Lipa will headline both Friday shows, while Tame Impala will lead Saturday. SZA will close each Sunday. All three artists have performed at Coachella before, but the 2027 edition will give Lipa and SZA their first headline slots.
Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker returns to the top of the bill after headlining in 2019. That appearance made him the first Australian artist to headline the festival. SZA previously joined Justin Bieber as a surprise guest during his 2026 set. Lipa also appeared at Coachella in 2017 with Martin Garrix.
The wider lineup brings together artists from pop, hip-hop, R&B, indie and electronic music. Madonna, Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, Don Toliver, Zara Larsson, Robyn, Steve Lacy, Kehlani and Jisoo are among the other performers. Daddy Yankee also receives special billing for his Coachella debut.
The announcement has also sparked conversation about artists who did not make the bill. Drake was among the names previously discussed by fans as a possible headliner. After the lineup appeared, he left a crying-face emoji in the comments on Coachella’s official Instagram post.
The emoji offered no explanation, and neither Drake nor festival organisers have confirmed that booking discussions took place. The rapper’s absence is therefore not evidence of a failed deal. He previously headlined the festival in 2015. Coachella will also continue its YouTube livestream partnership, giving viewers access to performances from both weekends. Passes go on sale Friday, November 13, at noon Pacific Time, which is 8 p.m. in Ghana.
The 2027 lineup brings together established pop stars, returning festival favourites and artists from several generations. With Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA leading the bill, Coachella is setting up another major international music event.
