Coachella 2027 Lineup: Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA to Headline as Madonna Returns to the Desert

Coachella has revealed its 2027 lineup, with Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA headlining the festival’s two weekends at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, on April 9–11 and April 16–18, 2027. Goldenvoice announced the bill on Monday night, November 10, and passes go on sale Friday, November 13, at noon Pacific time.

The announcement, which Goldenvoice billed as “the return to innocence,” ends weeks of speculation. Rumours circulating since late October had correctly predicted all three headliners, and the full poster confirms a bill that leans heavily on pop, R&B and electronic music, with a few major surprises tucked into the undercard.

Three headliners, three very different nights

Dua Lipa takes the Friday headline slot, Tame Impala closes Saturday, and SZA brings each weekend to an end on Sunday. It is a deliberately varied trio: a global pop star, an Australian psychedelic-rock act and an alternative R&B standout, each headlining a different night across both weekends.

The reveal caps a crowded week for entertainment, coming days after Godzilla Minus Zero’s record-breaking box office weekend and in the same month as the DC Studios leadership shakeup that reshaped one of Hollywood’s biggest studios.

Madonna takes over the dance tent

The biggest talking point sits one line below the headliners. Madonna will perform a set in the dance tent on both Friday nights, her first Coachella appearance in more than two decades, in what the festival is presenting as a return to the desert for the Queen of Pop.

Daddy Yankee also receives special billing, with a production staged “in the desert” rather than on one of the main stages. The reggaetón star’s set is one of several details the festival has yet to fully explain, with exact times still to be announced.

Passes go on sale Friday

General passes go on sale Friday, November 13, at noon PT through the festival’s official website. Hotel packages are already available, and the festival is expected to sell out its first weekend quickly, as it has in most recent years.

Fans who miss out on passes will still be able to watch from home. YouTube’s exclusive livestream will carry performances from both weekends, continuing a partnership that has made Coachella one of the most-watched festivals in the world.
