Coachella 2027: Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA headline, Belgians on the bill

The Coachella 2027 lineup is out, which puts an end to the guessing game over the big names. Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA are the three headliners for the upcoming edition. The festival takes place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, over two weekends: April 9 to 11 and April 16 to 18, 2027. According to reports, tickets go on sale Friday, November 13, and YouTube is the exclusive livestream partner for the fifteenth year in a row.

For Dua Lipa, it's her first official Coachella as a headliner. She played the festival once before, in 2017, but back then as a guest vocalist during Martin Garrix's set. Tame Impala returns to the top of the bill, after Kevin Parker's project became the first Australian act to headline Coachella in 2019. Parker also worked on Lipa's album Radical Optimism, which gives the booking a certain logic. SZA has played the festival before too, including a surprise appearance during Justin Bieber's set this year. According to the reports, Lipa closes out Friday, Tame Impala takes Saturday and Sunday belongs to SZA.

Among the other names are Madonna, who returns to the Dance Tent more than twenty years after her 2006 performance, plus Phoebe Bridgers, Caroline Polachek, Robyn, Weezer and Måneskin. Daddy Yankee gets a special spot near the top of the poster, and Justice will premiere Blinded by the Lights in The Bunker. Electronic music is well represented too, with the likes of Peggy Gou, Tiësto, Garrix, Underworld, Four Tet, Dom Dolla, Kygo and Chase & Status. The 86 year old dance pioneer Giorgio Moroder is also playing on Friday, alongside Zara Larsson, JISOO, Steve Lacy, Kehlani and Social Distortion. The eccentric rock duo Angine de Poitrine has been booked as well.

Belgium is represented again too. Charlotte de Witte plays on Saturdays April 10 and 17, while Amelie Lens follows a day later each time, on Sundays April 11 and 18. Lens is billed as Amelie Lens x Sara Landry, a joint set with the American techno producer. Coachella is familiar territory for both: they each played in 2019, De Witte came back in 2024 and Lens was behind the decks again in 2025.

What stands out is who's missing. Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish and BLACKPINK were mentioned for months as possible headliners, but none of them ended up at the top of the bill. Drake is absent as well, even though there were earlier rumors that he would return to the desert. He responded to the announcement on Instagram with a crying emoji, which could mean disappointment or a wink. He has promised to go on his own tour in 2027, in support of his albums Iceman, Maid of Honour and Habibti. The lineup also includes rappers like Don Toliver, Freddie Gibbs, EsDeeKid and Nettspend.

For Dutch music fans, Coachella is mainly interesting as a preview of the festival summer. Because the festival takes place in April, many artists use it as a stepping stone to European festivals, as acts like Sombr, Little Simz, Turnstile and Teddy Swims showed last year. Which names from this poster make the crossing will become clear over the coming months.
