Dua Lipa to make history as first British female solo headliner at Coachella 2027
Coachella has unveiled its line-up for the 2027 edition, with British singer Dua Lipa set to make history as the first solo female artist from the UK to headline the festival.
The Training Season hitmaker will lead the Friday performances during both weekends in April. Australian psychedelic rock band Tame Impala will headline the Saturday shows, while American singer SZA is scheduled to close the festival on both Sundays.
The popular music festival will return to the California desert from April 9 to 11 and April 16 to 18, 2027, with more than 100,000 fans expected to attend each day.
Pop icon Madonna is also among the performers, returning to Coachella following her surprise appearance alongside this year’s headliner, Sabrina Carpenter. Her return comes 20 years after her first performance at the festival.
Madonna released Confessions II, her first album since 2019, earlier this year. She had also been linked to a possible headline performance at Glastonbury 2027, although organisers have since ruled out the possibility.
Other major names on the line-up include Swedish pop star Zara Larsson, American singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers and Indian singer Diljit Dosanjh, who is returning after making history in 2023 as the first Punjabi-language artist to perform at Coachella.
Blackpink member Jisoo, American singer Kehlani, rock band Weezer and Swedish singer Robyn, known for the hit Dancing On My Own, are also scheduled to perform.
The 2027 festival will also bring Dua Lipa and SZA together again after both artists headlined Glastonbury in 2024.
During her performance on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage, Dua Lipa also invited Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker to join her on stage.
Her Coachella headline appearance will make her the first British woman to top the festival’s bill. British singer Charli XCX previously performed on the main stage in 2025 ahead of American rock band Green Day’s headline set.
During the success of her Brat album, Charli XCX attracted attention after appearing at the festival wearing a sash bearing the words “Miss Should Be Headliner” following her performance.
Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong appeared to respond during the following weekend’s show by wearing a Brat-themed baseball cap.
Other British acts scheduled for the 2027 festival include EsDeeKid, Chase & Status and Jorja Smith.
Coachella remains one of the world’s most prominent music festivals, renowned for its star-studded line-ups and celebrity attendance.
Tickets for the 2027 edition are scheduled to go on sale on Friday.
