Coachella: 7 Takeaways From the 2027 Lineup
Madonna serves as this year's biggest rarity, but the lineup remains a bit uneven and uninspired. Coachella: 7 Takeaways From the 2027 Lineup Paolo Ragusa
Coachella's 2027 lineup, announced earlier this week, featured a host of big-name artists, including Madonna, Tame Impala, Dua Lipa, and SZA. The festival, which typically reveals its lineup in January, had moved its poster reveal to November in recent years, with Madonna making her grand return to the Sahara Tent after performing in 2006.
The lineup also included Giorgio Moroder, Pinegrove, Enigma, and Beastie Boys' Mike D, among other acts. With a total of 156 acts on the poster this year, compared to 137 last year, the festival seemed to have added more diverse acts, including emo and punk bands, as well as electronic pop duos. However, some notable acts like Fontaines D.C., Tinashe, and Fred (the lead singer of Once More 'Round the Sun) were notably absent from the lineup.
