Dua Lipa Set to Be the First Female British Headliner at Coachella 2027

Dua Lipa is set to headline Coachella 2027, becoming the first British female solo artist to top the bill at the California music festival.

The announcement, made on November 11, confirms that the singer will headline on Friday, April 9, and Friday, April 16, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. The booking marks her first appearance as a billed performer at the festival, having previously joined Dutch DJ Martin Garrix on stage in 2017 to perform their collaboration, Scared to Be Lonely.

At 31, Lipa has built an international career through a series of successful albums and singles. Her best-known songs include New Rules, Don’t Start Now, Levitating and Training Season. Her second studio album, Future Nostalgia, released in 2020, earned widespread recognition and won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album in 2021.

Her third album, Radical Optimism, followed in 2024, featuring tracks including Houdini, Training Season and Illusion. The release came after several years of major achievements for the singer, including multiple Grammy and BRIT Awards.

The Coachella booking also follows Lipa’s headline performance at Glastonbury Festival in 2024. She became one of the major British acts to top the Pyramid Stage, performing songs from across her catalogue. Her 2027 appearance will give her another major festival headline slot, this time in the United States.

Lipa will share the headlining duties with Australian act Tame Impala and American singer SZA. Tame Impala, led by musician Kevin Parker, is scheduled to headline Saturdays, while SZA will close the festival on Sundays. Both Lipa and SZA previously headlined Glastonbury in 2024.

Other performers on the 2027 line-up include Madonna, Phoebe Bridgers, Zara Larsson, Robyn, Jorja Smith, Weezer, Kehlani, Peggy Gou, Martin Garrix and Daddy Yankee.

Madonna’s inclusion is another major talking point. The singer made a surprise appearance during Sabrina Carpenter’s Coachella performance in 2026, marking her return to the festival after her 2006 appearance. Her place on the 2027 bill gives audiences another opportunity to see her perform at the event.

For Lipa, the Coachella headline slot adds to a run of major festival appearances and places her among the British solo artists to have reached the top of the festival’s bill. Her performances are scheduled for April 9 and April 16, 2027.
