Coachella 2027 Lineup Takeaways: Madonna's Special Spot, Indie Surprises, and... No Drake?

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival revealed its 2027 lineup on November 11, naming Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA as the three headliners for the event at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. The festival runs across two weekends, April 9-11 and April 16-18, 2027. SZA teased the headliners on social media before the official announcement.

Daddy Yankee and Justice occupy special slots typically reserved for a bonus fourth headliner. Justice will debut "Blinded by the Lights" in the Bunker, the underground space that housed Radiohead's "Kid A Mnesia" exhibit in 2026. Madonna is billed high on the poster and will perform in the Dance Tent, returning to that stage as she did when she released "Confessions on a Dance Floor" in 2006. She appeared as a surprise guest during Sabrina Carpenter's weekend two set at Coachella 2026 to debut their single "Bring Your Love."

Upper-tier billing includes Phoebe Bridgers, Don Toliver, Zara Larsson, Weezer, Dom Dolla, Kygo, Empire of the Sun and Role Model. Further down the poster are Kehlani, Jisoo, Tiesto, Adéla, Maneskin, Four Tet, Becky G, the Neighbourhood, Remi Wolf, Victoria Monét, Caroline Polachek, EsDeeKid, Underworld, Nettspend, Pinegrove, Leon Thomas, Peggy Gou, Giorgio Moroder, Mariah the Scientist, Babymonster, Magdalena Bay, Murda Beatz, Xaviersobased, Bella Kay, Haute & Freddy, Bea Miller, Gang of Youths and Martin Garrix.

Rolling Stone noted the absence of Drake from the lineup, framing it as a notable omission alongside the indie surprises and Madonna's special placement. The 2026 festival featured headlining sets from Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Karol G and Anyma.
