Madonna to play Coachella 2027’s dance tent as Dua Lipa, SZA headline
Every spring, two weekends in the California desert set the agenda for the rest of the festival calendar. Glastonbury has the history and Primavera has the taste, but Coachella has the reach. No other festival makes this many people care this much about a poster, and the 2027 version arrived Tuesday night. If you followed the speculation, the headliners won’t surprise you.

The 2027 Coachella festival has announced its lineup, with Madonna set to perform in the dance tent. Alongside her, Dua Lipa, Tame Impala, and SZA have been confirmed as headliners. The festival takes place over two weekends in California's desert, and it has a significant impact on the festival calendar. Madonna's return to the dance tent is either a deliberate nod to her club roots or the most expensive tent set at Coachella.
The lineup also includes other notable artists such as Phoebe Bridgers, Don Toliver, Zara Larsson, Steve Lacy, Weezer, and Empire of the Sun. Dance music is well-covered with artists like Peggy Gou, Dom Dolla, Amelie Lens, and Solomun. Rock, on the other hand, seems to be the weak spot, with no act as prominent as last year's Turnstile or Nine Inch Noize.
However, rock veterans such as Social Distortion, The Damned, and Pennywise are part of the lineup, indicating that someone in booking still appreciates the genre. Young rock band Twisted Teens are also featured, and their placement may look like a bargain a year from now. Rap fans can look forward to acts like EsDeeKid and Freddie Gibbs.
Overall, the 2027 Coachella lineup appears well-curated, with a balanced mix of headline acts, supporting acts, and genres, ensuring a diverse and engaging festival experience.
