Coachella announced its 2027 line-up, positioning Dua Lipa as the first solo female British artist to headline the festival. The Training Season singer tops Friday’s bill for both weekends in April, while Tame Impala leads Saturday and SZA closes Sunday. Over 100,000 fans are expected daily at the California desert venue, which runs from 9 to 11 and 16 to 18 April next year. This booking marks a reunion with SZA after both artists headlined Glastonbury in 2024. During her recent Pyramid stage set, Lipa also brought out Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker.
A Historic First For UK Women
Lipa becomes the first British woman to headline Coachella, following Charli XCX who performed on the main stage in 2025 before Green Day’s slot. Amid the success of her album Brat, the 365 singer made headlines after being pictured wearing a "Miss Should Be Headliner" sash following her set. Green Day appeared to respond with frontman Billie Joe Armstrong wearing a Brat baseball cap during their performance the following weekend. The 2027 lineup includes other UK acts like EsDeeKid, Chase & Status, and Jorja Smith. Diljit Dosanjh returns after becoming the first Punjabi language singer to perform at the festival in 2023.
Global Stars And Surprises
Madonna is set to return to the festival 20 years on from her first set, following a surprise appearance alongside this year’s headliner Sabrina Carpenter. The Queen of Pop released Confessions II earlier this year, her first album since 2019, and had been rumoured to headline Glastonbury 2027 before organisers ruled that out. Swedish pop star Zara Larsson and US singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers are also confirmed to perform. Blackpink’s Jisoo, Kehlani, Weezer, and Robyn round out the roster of international names. The festival remains one of the most high-profile music events in the world thanks to its celebrity audience and elite line-up.
