It’s official. Following weeks of leaks and speculation, Coachella dropped its lineup Tuesday night with SZA, Tame Impala and Dua Lipa atop the bill of the twin weekends of the festival, which happen at the Empire Polo Club in Indio April 9-11 and 16-18, 2027.
The bill is bolstered with several eclectic surprises including a set from Madonna in the dance tent, a rare appearance from Daddy Yankee in the fourth headliner slot, indie folk darling Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, Don Toliver and Becky G.
Madonna’s billing in the DJ tent is a callback to when the pop superstar played the festival’s Sahara Tent in 2006 after the release of “Confessions on a Dance Floor” the year before. Over the summer, she released a sequel, “Confessions on a Dance Floor: Part II.”
Madonna also made a guest appearance at Coachella earlier this year during Sabrina Carpenter’s Weekend 2 set.
Look beyond Madonna on the poster and you’ll see Giorgio Moroder, the iconic Italian composer and “Father of Disco,“on the Friday lineup. The electronic dance music pioneer will be 86 years old when he performs at the festival in April.
In 2026, Coachella debuted the underground Bunker with an audiovisual experience from Radiohead looking back at “Kid A” and “Amnesiac,” even though the band didn’t perform at the festival.
The final line at the bottom of the 2027 lineup poster notes the Bunker debut of “Justice — Blinded by the Lights.” The French electronic music duo have been perennial performers in the desert since their Coachella debut in 2007 and also have collaborated with Kevin Parker of headliner Tame Impala.
Among the other interesting names on the lineup are Angine de Poitrine, the French Canadian prog rock duo who perform in elaborate polka-dotted costumes, English punk band the Damned, which is on its 50th anniversary/farewell tour and Lambrini Girls, a rock band set to play the fest in 2026 but had to back out days before because guitarist Phoebe Lunny fractured her neck.
Rumors about the lineup had been flying around for weeks, as per usual in the fall, with multiple reports naming the eventual headliners while the festival stayed mum on the official report.
Even SZA seemed to confirm it before the festival did, with a post on Instagram days before the lineup release telling fans she’ll see them in the desert and replying to a comment about the other headliners before removing her post, according to SFGate.
In May, general admission passes had started at $599 and went up to $699 for Weekend 1 and $549-$649 for Weekend 2 for the advance sale. They sold out within hours, leaving fans to join a waiting list. However, with the announcement Tuesday night, Coachella posted that more passes would be available for sale beginning Friday, Nov. 13 at noon via coachella.com.
The pass types available for the November sale include general admission with a shuttle pass for $779 on either weekend and VIP, priced at $1399 for Weekend 1 and $1349 for weekend 2.
If you miss out on passes, Coachella recently extended its deal with YouTube to livestream the event through 2030.
