Coachella announced its 2027 lineup Tuesday, naming Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA as headliners, with Daddy Yankee also headlining a special production.

Lipa will lead Friday's bill, followed by Tame Impala on Saturday and SZA on Sunday, across both weekends at Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. The festival runs April 9-11 and April 16-18. It is unclear when Daddy Yankee will perform.

The engagement will be Lipa's first Coachella headline slot and full performance at the festival. She will be the first solo female British artist to headline Coachella, BBC News reported. Lipa previously joined Martin Garrix onstage for "Scared to Be Lonely" in 2017.

Madonna will perform in the festival's dance tent. Her first Coachella appearance came at the Sahara Tent in 2006, following the release of "Confessions on a Dance Floor." In 2026, she surprised the Weekend 2 crowd during Sabrina Carpenter's headline set, when they debuted their single "Bring Your Love".

"That was such a thrill for me, so you can imagine what a thrill it is for me to be back 20 years later in the same boots, the same corset, the jacket I had on earlier, the same Gucci jacket," Madonna said at the 2026 appearance. She called it "a full-circle moment, very meaningful for me."

Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker produced and wrote songs for Lipa's 2024 album "Radical Optimism," before she joined the band onstage in London in May 2026.

Tame Impala will headline Coachella for the second time in 2027. The band became the first Australian artist to headline when it led the bill in 2019.

SZA appeared to confirm her booking in an Instagram post days before the official announcement and subsequently deleted it, Rolling Stone reported.

Rolling Stone, citing unnamed sources, said the leak led Coachella parent company Goldenvoice to hurry its full lineup announcement.

SZA's most recent album, "SOS," came out in 2022, and she completed its tour in 2024. At Coachella 2026, she made a surprise appearance with Justin Bieber.

Friday's performers include Madonna, Zara Larsson, Jisoo, Kehlani, Leon Thomas, Diljit Dosanjh, Peggy Gou and Giorgio Moroder. Moroder will be 86 when he performs. Dosanjh became Coachella's first Punjabi-language performer in 2023.

The Saturday bill features Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, Tiësto, Martin Garrix, Role Model, Adéla, Robyn, Måneskin and Underworld. Don Toliver, Dom Dolla, Kygo, the Neighbourhood, Becky G, Empire of the Sun, Four Tet and Caroline Polachek will perform Sunday.

Coachella's official Instagram account accompanied its lineup post with the caption "The return to innocence."

YouTube will be the exclusive livestream partner for both weekends, returning for its 15th year. Official packages combining festival passes with lodging and transportation are available now.

A general admission pass with shuttle access is $779 for either weekend. VIP admission costs $1,399 for Weekend 1 and $1,349 for Weekend 2.

American Express presale passes become available Thursday at noon PT, according to TheWrap. The festival's website will open the general sale Friday at noon PT.
