Tame Impala has been officially confirmed as a Coachella headliner for the 2027 line-up, surprising few after details of the bill leaked.
A newly released poster confirms the Australian band will top the bill with singer-songwriters SZA and Dua Lipa when thousands of music fans descend on the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, across two weekends in April.
Madonna is also set to make a return to the festival, more than two decades after her iconic Sahara Tent set in 2006, during the Confessions on a Dance Floor era.
The pop legend is back following her surprise cameo with Sabrina Carpenter earlier in 2026 and the release of Confessions II.
The world-famous music extravaganza also promises a rare festival appearance from reggaeton heavyweight Daddy Yankee, plus Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, Don Toliver and Becky G.
Another talking point is the inclusion of Giorgio Moroder. The producer, whose pioneering work helped shape modern dance music, will be 86 by the time he performs at the event.
Dua turned down the festival in 2023 to appear at Glastonbury instead.
For SZA, the announcement caps weeks of growing anticipation from fans who had already become convinced she was destined for the festival’s top slot.
The singer recently added fuel to the speculation by reposting a fan graphic predicting “SZACHELLA”, a 2027 tour and the arrival of her third studio album.
She has also been teasing fresh material, recently sharing a preview of an unreleased track built around a sample of Natanya’s song HUSH.
Coachella is also continuing its push beyond traditional live performances.
After launching the Bunker attraction last year with an immersive experience inspired by Radiohead’s Kid A and Amnesiac, organisers have now confirmed a new installation titled Justice – Blinded by the Lights.
The appearance further strengthens Justice’s long-standing connection with the festival, where the French electronic duo first played in the desert in 2007.
It was claimed K-pop megastars BTS held “early talks” with the event organisers, but ultimately did not appear on the final 2027 line-up.
