- Dua Lipa headlines Coachella 2027 on Friday, April 9 and 16, in her first proper set at the festival.
- The festival runs April 9-11 and April 16-18 in Indio, California, with the same lineup both weekends.
- Madonna, Zara Larsson and Jisoo share Friday’s bill, with Tame Impala on Saturday and SZA on Sunday.
- Passes go on sale Friday, November 13 at noon PT, only through the official Coachella website.
- YouTube will livestream key sets across both weekends, so you can watch without attending.
What Was Announced
The full lineup dropped on November 11, 2026, and Dua Lipa is the name at the top of the poster. Her only previous Coachella appearance was a guest spot. She joined Martin Garrix in 2017, before her debut album came out. So this is a different kind of return, from a guest to the main-stage closer.
She was also one of the pre-announcement favourites. She, Tame Impala and SZA were among the bookies’ picks to headline. Those guesses turned out right.

The Friday Lineup
Friday is the most pop-heavy night of the weekend. Dua Lipa is joined by Madonna and Zara Larsson, plus Jisoo, Peggy Gou, Mike D 5D, Angine de Poitrine, Leon Thomas and Steve Lac.
Here is how the three nights stack up:
| Day | Headliner | Other Names on the Bill |
|---|---|---|
| Friday | Dua Lipa | Madonna, Zara Larsson, Jisoo, Peggy Gou, Steve Lacy |
| Saturday | Tame Impala | Robyn, Phoebe Bridgers, Måneskin, Weezer, Tiësto |
| Sunday | SZA | Tove Lo, Caroline Polachek, Remi Wolf, Don Toliver, Kygo |
Tame Impala return for a second headline slot after topping the bill in 2019. SZA’s Sunday slot comes after a guest spot at this year’s festival. She joined Justin Bieber to perform “Snooze” during his 2026 set.
Dua Lipa and Tame Impala Already Share a Studio History
The Friday–Saturday pairing is not random. Her latest album is 2024’s Radical Optimism, and much of it was produced by Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker. They have kept performing together since. She joined Parker at London’s O2 in May to perform their collaboration “Houdini”.
Fans are already guessing whether a crossover moment might happen across the two weekends. Nothing is confirmed, and festival guest appearances are usually kept secret until they happen. Parker’s band also has a European run lined up. Tame Impala are due to play UK and European arena shows with Wet Leg in May and June 2027, shortly after the Coachella dates.

What She Has Been Up To Lately
Dua Lipa arrives in Indio with plenty of recent activity behind her.
A live album and concert film. On May 15, 2026, she released “End Of An Era (Live from Mexico)” as the lead-in to a live album and concert film. It captures three sold-out shows at Mexico City’s Estadio GNP Seguros.
Surprise stage moments. In October she turned up at a Shakira show in Madrid. She joined Shakira on stage for “Antología”, a song she had covered the previous November in Bogotá. That kind of onstage moment suits a festival crowd.
A habit of covers. Her Radical Optimism tour included covers of Ariana Grande, Daft Punk, Lorde and others. Her setlist habits suggest she might add a cover or a guest to her Coachella set, though that is speculation.
Madonna’s Return to the Dance Tent
Madonna is the other big story on Friday. She is playing her first full Coachella set in roughly two decades. She will perform in the dance tent on April 9 and 16, as she did in 2006 after Confessions on a Dance Floor.
The booking follows a surprise appearance this year. She joined Sabrina Carpenter’s second weekend to perform “Vogue” and “Like A Prayer”. She and Carpenter also debuted “Bring Your Love”, from Madonna’s 2026 album Confessions II.
A side story: Madonna said at the 2026 festival that she was wearing the same outfit from her debut set, and the vintage pieces later went missing. She publicly asked for them to be returned, and no return has been reported.
Both women performing on the same Friday gives that night a “pop past meets pop present” feel. It also makes Friday the likeliest day for a crossover moment, though that is only a guess.
How to Get Passes
Here is what is confirmed so far:
- On-sale date: Friday, November 13 at noon PT.
- Where: the official Coachella website at coachella.com. Use only that site. Resale listings before the on-sale date are not legitimate.
- Livestream: 2027 will be the 15th year Coachella partners with YouTube as its exclusive livestream partner, with coverage across both weekends. You can watch key sets without going.
Prices and pass tiers weren’t in the sources I could access. Check the official site before the sale.
A practical tip for Friday fans: both weekends share the same lineup, so pick the weekend that fits your budget and travel plans. Dua Lipa plays both Fridays regardless.
