Goldenvoice has revealed the Coachella 2027 lineup, and the desert festival’s next edition will be headlined by Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA, with Madonna returning to the Dance Tent in what may be the most talked-about second-line billing in the festival’s history. The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival returns to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, across two weekends — 9 to 11 April and 16 to 18 April 2027 — and passes go on sale on Friday, 13 November at noon Pacific time.
The announcement, revealed this week, confirms months of rumours that had already named the three headliners. USA Today reported that Dua Lipa will headline both Fridays, Tame Impala will take Saturdays and SZA will close the festival on Sundays, while Madonna — billed specifically as performing “in the dance tent” on Fridays — gives the Friday lineup a second headliner in all but name.

Dua Lipa Takes Fridays in Her First Full Coachella Headline Set
Dua Lipa will headline both Fridays, marking her first time topping the Coachella bill and her first full performance at the festival. She has appeared at Coachella before, but never as a headliner, and the Friday slot puts her at the top of a day that also features Madonna’s dance-tent return — a combination that gives the opening night of each weekend two of pop’s biggest names.
The booking continues a remarkable run for the singer, whose father and manager Dukagjin Lipa also runs Kosovo’s Sunny Hill Festival. For Coachella, the Friday headline is a statement of intent from Goldenvoice: the festival has increasingly leaned on pop headliners who can carry a main stage alone, and Dua Lipa’s stadium-scale show is built for exactly that. Her Friday set will set the tone for both weekends.
Tame Impala and SZA Close Out the Weekend
Tame Impala, the project of Australian musician Kevin Parker, will headline both Saturdays, returning to the festival where the band last appeared in 2019. The Saturday bill around them leans guitar and indie, with Phoebe Bridgers and Weezer among the acts joining Tame Impala on the day, giving the middle day of each weekend a distinctly different flavour from the pop-heavy Friday.
SZA closes the festival on Sundays, headlining both weekends after teasing the headline acts on social media ahead of the official reveal. Her Sunday lineup includes Don Toliver, Dom Dolla, Kygo, Empire of the Sun, Four Tet, The Neighbourhood, Becky G and BABYMONSTER, making the final day a mix of R&B, electronic and K-pop-leaning acts. SZA’s headline set caps a bill that, taken as a whole, is one of the most female-led in the festival’s recent history.
Madonna’s Dance Tent Return Steals the Second Line
The biggest talking point of the poster may not be a headliner at all. Madonna is billed on the second line, performing in the Dance Tent on Fridays — a placement that has dominated reaction to the lineup since it was revealed. The Desert Sun called her “perhaps the biggest name” on the bill despite not holding a headline slot, and her return to the desert is the booking most likely to drive conversation, and ticket sales, in the days before passes go on sale.
The dance-tent billing is also a nod to Madonna’s history with the format: a club-rooted set in an intimate tent rather than a main-stage spectacle. For fans, it raises the obvious question of whether the set will be livestreamed — YouTube returns as the festival’s exclusive global livestream partner for a 15th consecutive year, but no set-by-set streaming schedule has been published yet.
Who Else Is on the 2027 Bill
Beyond the headliners, the 2027 lineup runs deep. Robyn, Zara Larsson, Kehlani, Steve Lacy, Kelela, Jisoo and Diljit Dosanjh are among the names on the bill, alongside electronic heavyweights Tiësto, Peggy Gou, Dom Dolla and Four Tet, and legacy acts including Underworld, Giorgio Moroder and Weezer. Daddy Yankee, who said farewell with a tour in 2023 before returning to music last year, gets a billing all his own: “In the Desert.”
The breadth of the bill is the point. Coachella’s two-weekend format lets Goldenvoice programme pop, indie, electronic, Latin and K-pop acts across the same poster, and the 2027 edition leans into that range more than most recent years. With Måneskin, NCT, Adéla and Social Distortion also listed, the lineup covers almost every corner of the festival audience — and gives each day a distinct identity rather than three repeats of the same show.
Tickets, Prices and How to Watch From Home
Passes for Coachella 2027 go on sale on Friday, 13 November at noon PT via the official Coachella website. JamBase confirmed the sale time alongside the full lineup, and demand is expected to be heavy: the combination of three first-time headliners and Madonna’s return is the strongest selling point the festival has had in years. Ticket prices and pass tiers have not been published in the sources read for this article.
For those not travelling to Indio, YouTube will carry the festival as its exclusive global livestream partner for a 15th consecutive year. Exact streaming schedules and which stages will be covered have not been announced, but the livestream has become a central part of the Coachella weekend for viewers around the world, and the 2027 edition is expected to follow the same pattern.
