SZA, Kehlani, Victoria Monét and more bring major R&B star power to Coachella 2027

The newly announced lineup features a strong showing from Black artists, with SZA headlining Sundays and performances from Steve Lacy, Leon Thomas and Mariah the Scientist.

SZA will headline Coachella 2027 alongside Dua Lipa and Tame Impala, festival organizers confirmed after last month’s headliner speculation. The announcement also puts Black artists including Kehlani, Steve Lacy, Victoria Monét and Ayra Starr on the bill. Starr recently made NFL halftime history.

Coachella unveiled the lineup Tuesday, Nov. 10, and Variety reported the announcement the following day. The festival returns to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, for two weekends, April 9–11 and April 16–18. Dua Lipa will headline Fridays, Tame Impala Saturdays and SZA Sundays.

The Sunday roster includes Don Toliver, Victoria Monét, Jorja Smith, Freddie Gibbs and Nigerian Afrobeats star Ayra Starr. Also booked are Genesis Owusu and Dinner Party, the musical collective featuring Kamasi Washington, Robert Glasper, 9th Wonder and Terrace Martin.

Friday brings Steve Lacy, Kehlani, Leon Thomas, Kelela and Fetty Wap, with Madonna separately booked to perform in the dance tent. Leon Bridges, Mariah the Scientist and British-Nigerian singer Odeal are on Saturday’s lineup, led by Tame Impala.

For SZA, the headline slot marks another step in a history with the festival. She appeared in 2016 and performed in 2018, bringing Kendrick Lamar onstage during that year’s set. In April 2026, she returned as a surprise guest to perform “Snooze” with Justin Bieber. Next April will be her first time headlining Coachella.

Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker previously headlined in 2019, while Dua Lipa joined Martin Garrix onstage in 2017. Like SZA, Dua Lipa is making her Coachella headlining debut.

Beyond the three main headliners, Daddy Yankee has a separately billed “In the Desert” performance. Justice will debut an audiovisual presentation titled “Blinded by the Lights” in the Bunker.

Passes for Coachella 2027 go on sale Friday, Nov. 13, at noon Pacific time. YouTube will livestream both weekends for fans watching from home. Set times will be announced closer to the festival.
