British pop star Dua Lipa is set to make history as the first British woman to headline Coachella, after being announced as one of the top performers for the 2027 edition of the music festival.
The ‘Training Season’ singer will headline Friday's shows across both festival weekends, while Australian psych-rock band Tame Impala will lead Saturday's line-up and American singer SZA will close the festival on Sundays.
The festival will take place on April 9-11 and April 16-18 in the California desert, with more than 100,000 attendees expected each day.
The 2027 line-up also features Madonna, who is set to return to Coachella following a surprise appearance alongside this year's headliner Sabrina Carpenter. The appearance came 20 years after the Queen of Pop made her Coachella debut.
Other international performers include Swedish singer Zara Larsson, American singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers, Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh, Blackpink member Jisoo, Kehlani, rock band Weezer and Swedish pop star Robyn.
Dosanjh's return follows his historic 2023 performance, when he became the first Punjabi-language singer to perform at the festival.
The 2027 edition will also bring Dua Lipa and SZA together again after both artists headlined Glastonbury in 2024. During her Pyramid Stage performance, Dua Lipa also brought out Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker as a special guest.
Dua Lipa's Coachella milestone follows a series of high-profile performances by British female artists at the festival. Charli XCX performed on the main stage in 2025 before Green Day's headline set. During the success of her album ‘Brat’, she also drew attention for wearing a sash reading “Miss Should Be Headliner” after her performance.
Other British acts scheduled to perform in 2027 include EsDeeKid, Chase & Status and Jorja Smith.
Coachella is among the world's most prominent music festivals, known for its international line-up and high-profile celebrity appearances. Tickets for the 2027 edition are scheduled to go on sale on Friday.
