Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival //
Empire Polo Club – Indio, CA
April 9th-11th & April 16th-18th, 2027 //
With the last few music festivals in 2026 set to play out over the year’s final few weeks, it’s time to start turning our attention toward the next 12 months and what we can anticipate when the calendar officially flips to 2027.
So if some of you have probably been wondering where the Coachella lineup has been after California concert promoter Goldenvoice delivered this year’s roster led by Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber and Karol G earlier than ever before, there’s no need to fret because you don’t have to wait any longer for the follow-up to its 25th anniversary.
While that mid-September timeframe would not be met this time and the 2027 bill would take almost a couple of more months to be released, it does arrive more than a week before 2025’s was unveiled to mark the first time Goldenvoice CEO Paul Tollett and his team of employees had announced the news prior to January.
Leading the 26th installment of Goldenvoice’s signature event will be Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA as they set their sights on the Empire Polo Club this April. It’s worth noting only one of those three acts has previously headlined Coachella, and believe it or not, it was Tame Impala back in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic put a halt to the three-day, two-weekend festival for the following two years.
The unofficial fourth headlining slot, which premiered in 2022 upon Coachella’s long-awaited return from the coronavirus shutdown, will go to Daddy Yankee as the 50-year-old “Godfather of Reggaeton” makes his Coachella debut, and in what has been customary since the special performance was added, a day has not been assigned yet for Puerto Rican rapper and singer-songwriter Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez (we should know that once set times drop separately for Weekends 1 and 2 just a few days in advance).
What lies below the top line remains just as enticing though, beginning with Madonna unearthing her “in the Dance Tent” set from 2006 that you won’t be able to catch anywhere else. That sort of exclusivity is what has made Coachella one of the most renowned music festivals in the world and continues to draw fans from far beyond the Golden State and outside the U.S.
Other highlights spread across the undercard, meanwhile, include Phoebe Bridgers, Don Toliver, Zara Larsson, Weezer, Dom Dolla, Steve Lacy, Tiësto, Kygo, JISOO, Martin Garrix, Empire of the Sun, Diljit Dosanjh, Robyn, Four Tet, Peggy Gou, Role Model, The Neighbourhood, Kehlani, ADÉLA and Becky G, but beyond that, Solid Grooves, Måneskin, BABYMONSTER, Giorgio Moroder, Solomun, Amelie Lens, Social Distortion, NCT, Amelie Lens x Sara Landry, Pinegrove, Enigma, Remi Wolf, Angine de Poitrine, Underworld, Tove Lo, Leon Thomas, Charlotte de Witte, Victoria Monét, Drain Gang, Leon Bridges and more also stand out. And after introducing The Bunker last year to showcase Radiohead’s audiovisual installation “KID A MNESIA” during both weekends, the 17,000-square-foot underground subterranean space is back with a new exhibit titled “Blinded by the Lights” from French electronic duo Justice that’s sure to entice a lot of Coachellans.
