Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA Headline Coachella 2027
Coachella 2027 runs April 9 to 11 and April 16 to 18 in California, with Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA headlining. Tickets go on sale Friday.
Dua Lipa will headline Coachella’s Friday shows on both weekends of the 2027 festival, becoming the first solo female British artist to do so, the BBC reported after the lineup was announced. Tame Impala headlines the Saturday shows, and the US singer SZA closes out both Sundays.
The festival returns to the California desert on April 9 to 11 and April 16 to 18, with more than 100,000 fans expected each day. Tickets go on sale Friday.
Who headlines each night
The same three headliners repeat across the two weekends: Dua Lipa on Friday, the psych-rock band Tame Impala on Saturday and SZA on Sunday. The BBC describes the festival as a reunion for Dua Lipa and SZA, who both headlined Glastonbury in 2024. At her Pyramid stage set there, Dua Lipa brought out Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker.
Why she counts as the first British woman
The BBC says Dua Lipa is the first British woman to headline Coachella. Charli XCX played the main stage in 2025, before Green Day’s headline slot, but did not headline. This year’s headliner was Sabrina Carpenter.
Madonna, Zara Larsson and the rest of the bill
Madonna returns 20 years after her first Coachella set. She came back this year with a surprise appearance alongside Carpenter, and she released Confessions II, her first album since 2019, earlier in 2026.
Also scheduled are Swedish pop star Zara Larsson, US singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers, Blackpink’s Jisoo, US star Kehlani, the rock band Weezer and the singer Robyn. Diljit Dosanjh is back after becoming the first Punjabi-language singer to perform at the festival in 2023.
The UK artists on the 2027 bill include EsDeeKid, Chase & Status and Jorja Smith.
What this means for people planning a trip
The festival runs across two separate three-day weekends, so each headliner plays twice and there are two sets of dates to choose from. The BBC puts expected attendance above 100,000 people on each day. Tickets go on sale Friday, and ticket prices were not disclosed in the BBC report.
The BBC calls Coachella one of the most high-profile music festivals in the world, citing its lineups and its reputation for drawing a celebrity audience.
