Dua Lipa, SZA, and Tame Impala will headline the 2027 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, the promoter Goldenvoice announced on November 11, 2026. The festival returns to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, across two weekends: April 9–11 and April 16–18, 2027 . Dua Lipa takes Friday, Tame Impala handles Saturday, and SZA closes out Sunday . The lineup also includes Madonna in the dance tent, Daddy Yankee in a special slot, and more than 100 acts across the two weekends .
The three headliners and what makes their slots different
Dua Lipa will headline the Friday shows for both weekends. This marks her first time as a Coachella headliner. She previously appeared at the festival only as a guest during Martin Garrix’s set in 2017 . With this booking, Lipa becomes the first solo female British artist to headline Coachella . Her 2024 album Radical Optimism reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200, and Kevin Parker of Tame Impala produced several tracks on it .
Tame Impala headlines Saturday. This is the band’s second Coachella headlining slot, following their 2019 performance . Tame Impala is the project of Australian multi-instrumentalist Kevin Parker. The Saturday lineup also features Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, and Robyn .
SZA closes the festival on Sunday. She has played Coachella before, with sets in 2016 and 2018, and she joined Justin Bieber on stage during his headlining set in 2026 . SZA seemingly confirmed the news herself on social media before the official announcement, reposting a fan video with the text “2027: SZACHELLA … IM SEATED” on her Instagram Story . She also teased new music in the days leading up to the lineup reveal .
Madonna returns to the dance tent after 20 years
Madonna is listed on the poster “in the dance tent,” a billing that points back to her 2006 Coachella appearance in the Sahara Tent, when she was promoting Confessions on a Dance Floor . That 2006 set was famously chaotic: she arrived roughly 25 minutes late for a 50-minute slot and the small tent was overwhelmed by the crowd .
Madonna’s return comes after a surprise guest appearance during Sabrina Carpenter’s Weekend 2 set at Coachella 2026, where the two performed their single together . She released Confessions on a Dance Floor: Part II in the summer of 2026 .
Daddy Yankee gets a special fourth headliner slot
Daddy Yankee is billed in the “In the Desert” slot, a position Coachella typically uses for a major act that does not fit the standard three-headliner structure . This will be the Puerto Rican reggaeton star’s Coachella debut . His appearance follows the October 30, 2026 release of his album La Postal, a 15-track project with guest spots from Cardi B, Myke Towers, Bizarrap, and Diljit Dosanjh .
The full lineup by day
The Friday bill, headlined by Dua Lipa, includes Madonna, Zara Larsson, Steve Lacy, Jisoo of BLACKPINK, Diljit Dosanjh, Peggy Gou, Kehlani, and Giorgio Moroder . Moroder, the Italian composer and disco pioneer, will be 86 when he performs .
Saturday, under Tame Impala, features Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, Robyn, Tiësto, Martin Garrix, Måneskin, Underworld, and ADÉLA .
Sunday, led by SZA, includes Don Toliver, Dom Dolla, Kygo, Empire of the Sun, Four Tet, Becky G, BABYMONSTER, Tove Lo, Jorja Smith, and Victoria Monét .
Deeper on the poster are names like Caroline Polachek, Remi Wolf, Pinegrove, The Neighbourhood, Social Distortion, The Damned, Lambrini Girls, Gang of Youths, and Fetty Wap . The Bunker stage will host a Justice production called “Blinded by the Lights” .
Ticket prices, sale times, and livestream details
General passes go on sale Friday, November 13 at 12 p.m. PT on the festival’s official website . An AMEX presale begins Thursday, November 12 at 12 p.m. PT . Advance tickets sold out earlier in the year, so this general sale is the main chance for most fans to buy passes .
Current pricing listed for the general sale:
- GA passes for both weekends start at $779 on Tier 2, including a 3-day shuttle pass .
- VIP passes for Weekend One start at $1,399, and Weekend Two VIP starts at $1,349 .
- Camping and hotel packages are available for both weekends .
For viewers who cannot attend in person, YouTube returns for its 15th year as the exclusive livestream partner for both weekends .
Dua Lipa’s first solo Coachella set comes with new music talk
Dua Lipa’s headlining slot arrives nearly a decade after her only previous Coachella appearance, a 2017 guest turn during Martin Garrix’s set . Her last album, Radical Optimism, arrived in 2024 and featured production from Kevin Parker .
In an August 2026 interview with Vogue Italia, Lipa spoke about how her songwriting approach has changed. She said her earlier work drew from “the search and desire” and “feeling broken,” but her focus has shifted.
“I want to discover what happens when you truly find love. I’m interested in the complexities of a relationship, its quieter aspects, the little thing.”
Lipa married actor Callum Turner in May 2026 . Fans have also noted her frequent appearances outside Electric Lady Studios in New York, which has fueled talk of a fourth studio album .
SZA’s road to the Sunday headline slot
SZA’s Coachella history goes back to 2016 and 2018 performances, and she returned in 2026 as a guest during Justin Bieber’s set to perform their duet “Snooze” . After that appearance, she shut down rumors that the festival had asked her to serve as a backup for Bieber.
“Lmao who made this up? I’ve seen this 4 times now. I’m in New York no one paid me a dime. Wishing everyone the best.”
New music is part of the conversation around her headlining set. SZA’s last full release was SOS Deluxe: Lana in February 2025 . In the days before the lineup announcement, she shared a clip from a beach studio setup with the caption “Made a song ab feeling like a B—h today” and posted a snippet with the lyric “Am I a b—h for telling a guy, ‘Don’t f–k me like this’?” .
Tame Impala and the Kevin Parker connection across the bill
Kevin Parker’s Tame Impala has played Coachella multiple times, including a headlining set in 2019 . His connection to the other two headliners runs deeper than sharing a poster. Parker produced tracks on Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism, and he recently joined SZA on the Justice-produced song “Flower In A Hurricane” for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI soundtrack .
That shared history has led to open speculation about whether Parker might appear during Lipa’s or SZA’s sets, or whether either artist could join Tame Impala on stage . No guest appearances have been confirmed by the festival or the artists’ teams.
A big year for Australian acts at Coachella
Tame Impala leads a strong Australian presence on the 2027 poster. Dom Dolla and The Avalanches return, while Empire of the Sun plays the festival for the first time in a decade . Gang of Youths, Genesis Owusu, Odd Mob, and Dream Boat will make their Coachella debuts .
Latin music takes a bigger share of the bill
Daddy Yankee’s special slot is the highest-profile Latin booking on the 2027 lineup, but the Latin presence extends further. Becky G, Milo J, Bad Gyal, Los Pibes Chorros, AKRIILA, La Texana, Las Petunias, and Brazilian electronic artists Vintage Culture, Beltran, and Volkoder are all on the bill . The mix runs from reggaeton and rap to cumbia, alternative rock, and electronic music.
