The iconic California music festival will take place April 9–11 and April 16–18, with a surprise return by Madonna, a rare festival appearance by Daddy Yankee and a newly announced immersive installation.
The lineup for Coachella 2027 has officially been announced, with SZA, Dua Lipa and Tame Impala confirmed as the festival’s three headliners.
Thousands of music fans are expected to gather at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, over two weekends: April 9–11 and April 16–18. The newly released poster confirms the highly anticipated lineup after details had already begun circulating online.
One of the biggest surprises is Madonna’s return to Coachella, more than two decades after her memorable performance in the Sahara Tent in 2006, during her Confessions on a Dance Floor era.
The pop icon will return to the Dance Tent following her surprise appearance alongside Sabrina Carpenter at this year’s festival and the release of her latest album, Confessions II.
SZA, Dua Lipa and major names lead the lineup
For SZA, the announcement follows weeks of speculation among fans who had increasingly expected her to headline the festival.
The singer fueled the excitement by reposting a fan-made graphic predicting “SZACHELLA,” a 2027 tour and the release of her third studio album. She has also been teasing new music, recently sharing a preview of an unreleased track featuring a sample of Natanya’s song “HUSH.”
Another major name on the bill is legendary producer Giorgio Moroder, who will be 86 when he takes the stage. Widely recognized for his pioneering influence on electronic and dance music, Moroder brings a historic dimension to the festival.
The lineup also features a rare festival appearance by reggaeton superstar Daddy Yankee, alongside Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, Don Toliver and Becky G.
Justice brings an immersive experience to the desert
Coachella is continuing to expand beyond traditional live performances with interactive and immersive attractions.
Following last year’s introduction of the Bunker, which featured an experience inspired by Radiohead’s Kid A and Amnesiac, organizers have announced a new installation titled Justice – Blinded by the Lights.
The project adds another chapter to the long relationship between the festival and French electronic duo Justice, who first performed in the California desert in 2007.
New tickets to go on sale November 13
The announcement follows reports last month that Dua Lipa was in advanced negotiations to headline Coachella. She had previously turned down the festival in 2023 in favor of performing at Glastonbury.
K-pop superstars BTS were also reportedly involved in early discussions with organizers, but ultimately decided the timing was not right.
Tickets initially went on sale in May, with general admission passes priced between $599 and $699 for the first weekend and $549 to $649 for the second. Both weekends sold out within hours, leaving many fans on a waiting list.
However, organizers announced Tuesday night that an additional batch of tickets will become available on Friday, November 13, at noon through the festival’s official website.
The new sale will include general admission passes with shuttle access for $779 for either weekend. VIP passes will cost $1,399 for the first weekend and $1,349 for the second.
With three major headliners, Madonna’s highly anticipated return and an impressive collection of international performers, Coachella 2027 is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about music events of the year.
