Following weeks of speculation and some SZA-related leaks, the Coachella 2027 lineup is finally, officially here. The S.O.S. singer is set to headline, as she more or less confirmed already, alongside Tame Impala and Dua Lipa. Other performers include Madonna, Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, Don Toliver, and, as the fourth-billed headliner, Daddy Yankee. The festival returns to the Indio desert from April 9 to 11 and 16 to 18.
Other highlights include the return of Caroline Polachek; high-profile pop and R&B bookings including Robyn, Zara Larsson, Steve Lacy, Kelela, and Kehlani; rising stars and alternative darlings like Drain Gang, Underscores, Bassvictim, Muna, Shygirl, Magdalena Bay, and Snow Strippers; and a spread of dance titans ranging from Four Tet, Underworld, and Giorgio Moroder to Tiësto and Peggy Gou. Angine de Poitrine, Social Distortion, and Pinegrove join the rock ticket, and the rest of the bill is a typically eclectic mix of critics’ darlings (Xaviersobased, Nirosta Steel, the Avalanches, Zack Fox) and the likes of Adéla and Måneskin. Also featured: the debut of a Justice show called Blinded by the Lights.
Both Kevin Parker and SZA know their way around the main stage, the former having headlined in 2019—becoming the first Australian artist to do so—and the latter having joined Justin Bieber as a surprise guest at this year’s festival. Dua Lipa made a surprise appearance of her own, in 2017 with Martin Garrix (also returning this time around), but, like SZA, this is her first time headlining the festival in her own right. Madonna’s return to the desert, for the second year running, is set for the Dance Tent, the site of her 2006 Confessions on a Dance Floor show.
Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G were last year’s headliners. Carpenter recruited a host of special guests for her two sets: Susan Sarandon and Sam Elliott for Weekend One, and Madonna for Weekend Two. (Madge left the desert a few items of clothing shorter than she arrived.) Dijon, Slayyyter, Oklou, and Geese—who covered Bieber’s “Baby”—all played their first full sets at the festival.

Passes for 2027 go on sale this Friday at noon Pacific, with an AmEx presale starting 24 hours earlier. The festival will once again stream on YouTube.
