Madonna returns to Coachella’s dance tent as Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA headline 2027

Coachella has unveiled its 2027 line-up. Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA are the headliners, and Madonna will play the dance tent on Friday, the same day Dua Lipa closes the main stage.

The day-by-day line-up has been published on the festival’s official website.

The festival takes place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, over two weekends: 9–11 and 16–18 April 2027. Passes for both weekends went on sale on 13 November.

Madonna in the tent

For Madonna, it is a return to where her Coachella story began. She played her only full set at the festival in 2006, in the dance tent, during the Confessions on a Dance Floor era, opening with Hung Up. Since then she has appeared on a Coachella stage only as a guest: with Drake in 2015 and with Sabrina Carpenter this spring.

“New Year. New Show. New Music…. The rave continues,” Madonna wrote on Instagram on 11 November, under an image reading “Confessions II. Meet me in the dance tent!”

The same Friday features another dance-music legend, 86-year-old Giorgio Moroder. Alongside him are SG Lewis, whom ONE//FM has played 41 times in the past month, Peggy Gou, Vintage Culture and Franky Rizardo.

Dua Lipa’s first headline set

It will be Dua Lipa’s first set of her own at Coachella: until now she has appeared there only in 2017, when Martin Garrix brought her out for Scared to Be Lonely. Tame Impala already headlined the festival in 2019, while SZA, who played Coachella in 2016 and 2018, tops the bill for the first time.

Saturday also brings Tiësto, Underworld, Robyn, Solomun and Barry Can’t Swim, and Sunday Dom Dolla, Kygo, Four Tet and Empire of the Sun. Daddy Yankee gets his own In the Desert billing, and Justice will present Blinded by the Lights in the Bunker.

This month Madonna has already announced a vinyl box of both Confessions albums, and on our station she has played 20 times in the past 30 days.
