Coachella's 2027 lineup puts Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA on top, with Daddy Yankee as fourth headliner and Madonna billed 'in the dance tent.'
The lineup drops early — and partly leaked
Coachella revealed its 2027 headliners late Tuesday, Nov. 10: Dua Lipa on Fridays, Tame Impala on Saturdays and SZA on Sundays, with Daddy Yankee added as a fourth top-billed headliner staging a special production.
The Hollywood Reporter notes the festival plays two weekends, April 9–11 and April 16–18, in Indio, California, with the official Instagram post captioned "The return to innocence."
The Los Angeles Daily News observes that the era of January secrecy is over: the headliners had been "afloat on internet for days" before SZA herself leaked them on social media ahead of the official word.
Madonna's dance tent Easter egg
The Los Angeles Daily News reports that fans immediately asked why Madonna isn't headlining Friday over Dua Lipa — but a closer look at the poster shows "In the Dance Tent" over her name, the same billing she carried on the 2006 Coachella poster after releasing "Confessions on a Dance Floor."
Earlier this year she released "Confessions II," and the outlet predicts the Sahara Tent is "gonna be packed." Time Out adds that Justice will take over the Bunker, the 7,000-square-foot subterranean space built for Radiohead in 2026, for an immersive production billed "Blinded by the Lights."
Giorgio Moroder, oldest performer ever
According to the Los Angeles Daily News, 86-year-old Italian composer-producer Giorgio Moroder is almost certainly the oldest performer in Coachella history, surpassing calypso singer Calypso Rose, who was reportedly 78 when she played in 2019.
The outlet notes his résumé spans disco-era work with Donna Summer and three Academy Awards, for "Midnight Express," "Flashdance" and "Top Gun," and speculates guest vocalists could join him to sing songs he created.
It also flags legacy acts on farewell runs: the Damned are currently touring one, and, per the Daily News, Boris Brejcha has said he'll retire when his current tour ends in 2028.
Tickets, prices and the fourth headliner
Passes go on sale Nov. 13 at 12 p.m. PT, with YouTube returning for its 15th year as exclusive livestream partner, The Hollywood Reporter reports.
Time Out adds that general admission tickets — which went for $599 for weekend one and $549 for weekend two during presale — are already listed as sold out, making shuttle combo passes starting at $779 the lowest-priced option, with VIP at $1,399 and $1,349.
Daddy Yankee's "In the Desert" tag, per the Los Angeles Daily News, marks the unofficial fourth-headliner slot in recent years, usually a late Sunday set.
What else to watch for
Time Out highlights a Saturday leaning into alternative favorites — Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer and Robyn — plus K-pop near the top with Blackpink's JISOO, NCT and BABYMONSTER.
The Los Angeles Daily News spotlights fresh faces it says could follow the Chappell Roan path: masked Canadian duo Angine de Poitrine, LA alt-pop duo Haute and Freddy, Ireland's Florence Road, London's Fat Dog and Nate Amos's project This is Lorelei.
