SZA appears to leak Coachella 2027 headliners

Coachella dropped its 2027 lineup Tuesday night, confirming SZA, Tame Impala and Dua Lipa as the three main headliners for the twin weekends at the Empire Polo Club in Indio on April 9-11 and 16-18, 2027, the Los Angeles Times reported. The bill includes several notable additions: Madonna will perform in the dance tent, a callback to her 2006 Sahara Tent appearance after releasing "Confessions on a Dance Floor"; Daddy Yankee appears in a fourth headliner slot; and Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, Don Toliver and Becky G are also on the poster. The Los Angeles Times noted that electronic pioneer Giorgio Moroder, who will be 86 in April, is listed on the Friday lineup. Other acts include French Canadian prog rock duo Angine de Poitrine, English punk band the Damned on its 50th anniversary/farewell tour, and Lambrini Girls, who withdrew from the 2026 festival after guitarist Phoebe Lunny fractured her neck. The poster also notes the Bunker debut of "Justice — Blinded by the Lights," referencing the French electronic duo who have collaborated with Tame Impala's Kevin Parker.

Rumors about the headliners had circulated for weeks, with TMZ reporting in October that SZA, Dua Lipa and Tame Impala were in talks, according to Complex. SZA appeared to confirm the speculation days before the official announcement via an Instagram post telling fans she would see them in the desert and replying to a comment about the other headliners before removing the post, SFGate reported. The Los Angeles Times said the festival stayed mum on the official report until Tuesday's release. Polymarket prediction markets reacted to the leaks, showing SZA at a 74% implied probability of appearing, Dua Lipa at 65% with $9,917 in trading volume, and Tame Impala at 61% as of November 10, DailyCoin reported. Other artists drawing bets included BLACKPINK at 45%, Drake at 28%, and Travis Scott at 16%.

General admission passes for the 2026 advance sale had started at $599-$699 for Weekend 1 and $549-$649 for Weekend 2 and sold out within hours, the Los Angeles Times reported. With Tuesday's announcement, Coachella posted that more passes would go on sale Friday at noon via coachella.com. Available pass types include general admission with a shuttle pass for $779 on either weekend and VIP at $1,399 for Weekend 1 and $1,349 for Weekend 2. Coachella also recently extended its deal with YouTube to livestream the event through 2030.
