INDIO — British pop superstar Dua Lipa will headline the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival next year, becoming the first solo female British artist to top the bill at the iconic California event. The singer will perform on both Fridays of the two-weekend festival, set for April 9-11 and 16-18, 2027. She will be joined by headliners Tame Impala on the Saturdays and American singer-songwriter SZA closing out both Sundays. The festival, held in Indio, California, draws more than 100,000 fans each day. Lipa's headline achievement marks a significant milestone in her career and for British representation at the festival.

This will be Lipa's first solo performance at Coachella. A decade ago, she made a surprise guest appearance during Martin Garrix's set to perform their song Scared to Be Lonely. Since then, the 31-year-old has become a global star, winning multiple Brit and Grammy Awards and releasing her most recent album, Radical Optimism, in 2024. Joining Lipa at the top of the bill is Australian psychedelic rock band Tame Impala, which headlined the festival in 2019 and will return for the Saturday slots. SZA, who teased a new album and upcoming tour on social media earlier this week, will close the festival on Sundays. Both Lipa and SZA headlined the Glastonbury Festival in 2024.
Madonna is also set to return to Coachella in 2027, though not as a headliner. The Queen of Pop will perform in the dance tent, a venue she has not played at the festival since 2006. Her appearance follows a surprise performance alongside this year's headliner, Sabrina Carpenter, and comes after the release of her album Confessions II, her first since 2019. The wider lineup features a diverse array of artists. Swedish pop star Zara Larsson, American singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers, and Punjabi music sensation Diljit Dosanjh are confirmed to perform. Dosanjh returns after making history in 2023 as the first Punjabi-language singer to play Coachella. Other acts include Blackpink's Jisoo, Kehlani, Weezer, Robyn, Peggy Gou, Tiesto, Martin Garrix, Kygo, and Dom Dolla.
Several Canadian acts will perform, including Quebec artist Angine de Poitrine and hip-hop producer Murda Beatz. British representation remains strong with EsDeeKid, Chase & Status and Jorja Smith also on the bill. Puerto Rican rapper Daddy Yankee appears to be listed as a fourth headliner in some reports. Lipa's headline booking follows a conversation about female artists at the festival. In 2025, British musician Charli XCX performed on the main stage ahead of Green Day's headlining slot. After her show, she was seen wearing a sash that read 'Miss Should Be Headliner.' Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong seemingly responded the following weekend by wearing a 'Brat' baseball cap on stage. Coachella, which began in 1999, has become one of the world's most high-profile music festivals. Tickets are scheduled to go on sale on Friday.
