The 2027 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival lineup was officially released on Tuesday, confirming the main acts for the next edition of the event in Indio, California.

Dua Lipa, SZA, and Tame Impala will headline the festival, which is scheduled for two weekends at the Empire Polo Club: April 9 to 11 and April 16 to 18. For Lipa, this booking marks the first time a British female solo artist has headlined the festival. She previously made a surprise appearance during Martin Garrix's set in 2017. Tame Impala returns to the desert after headlining the event in 2019.

Madonna will headline the dedicated dance tent, a role she last filled 21 years ago around the release of her 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor. Her 2026 album Confessions II reached number one on both the US and UK charts earlier this year. Other acts confirmed for the dance tent include Zara Larsson, Robyn, Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, and Daddy Yankee.

SZA appeared to validate her booking earlier this week by sharing an Instagram story with the phrase SZAChella. The post coincided with announcements of her new album and tour. Her festival appearance follows her guest performance during Justin Bieber's headline set earlier in 2026.

The remaining lineup includes international artists such as Adéla, Becky G, Jisoo, Drain Gang, NCT, and Måneskin. British acts confirmed for the event include Jorja Smith, EsDeeKid, Underworld, Shygirl, and Lambrini Girls. Emerging performers on the roster include Underscores, Nettspend, the duo After, and Tiffany Day.

This year's festival was headlined by Justin Bieber, Karol G, and Sabrina Carpenter. Guardian critic Adrian Horton described Carpenter's performance as a dizzying full-scale hybrid production of undaunted vision and immaculate performance. In August, Emily Eavis denied rumors that Madonna would play Glastonbury next year, keeping focus on her confirmed Coachella return.

Passes for the 2027 festival go on sale at 12 pm Pacific Time on November 13. YouTube will serve as the official livestream partner for both weekends, marking the platform's fifteenth consecutive year in that role.
