SZA will headline Coachella 2027, closing out Sunday night on the main stage at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. Coachella announced the full 2027 lineup on November 10, with Dua Lipa topping Friday and Tame Impala topping Saturday, and SZA closing both weekends on Sunday, April 11 and April 18.
The festival runs across two weekends, April 9 to 11 and April 16 to 18, 2027. SZA will close each Sunday with a bill that includes Don Toliver, Dom Dolla, Kygo, Empire of the Sun, Four Tet, Becky G, BABYMONSTER, Victoria Monet, Jorja Smith, Tove Lo, Remi Wolf, Caroline Polachek, Chase and Status, MUNA and The Neighbourhood. Madonna plays the dance tent on Friday, and Daddy Yankee holds a special billing of his own.
The booking is a first for SZA. She has played Coachella before, lighting up the main stage on the Friday of the 2018 festival, when she brought out Kendrick Lamar for Doves In The Wind and All the Stars. She has never topped the bill until now. TMZ first reported on October 30 that SZA, Dua Lipa and Tame Impala would headline, and SZA herself answered the doubters on November 10, writing on Instagram that she is still headlining. Coachella billed the announcement The return to innocence.
Dua Lipa makes her headline debut on Friday after appearing as a surprise guest with Martin Garrix in 2017, before she had even released her debut album. Tame Impala returns for a second headline slot after topping the bill in 2019. SZA now joins them at the top of a lineup that moves between pop, R and B, hip hop, electronic music and global sounds.
The moment caps a huge run for SZA. She spent 2025 on the road with Kendrick Lamar on their joint Grand National Tour, the first all stadium tour for them both, after joining him on stage at the Super Bowl halftime show in February. The tour followed her SOS Deluxe: Lana album from 2024, the expanded version of her second album SOS, and it kept her in front of stadium crowds all year.
For fans, the wait is now a date on the calendar. Festival passes go on sale Friday, November 13 at noon Pacific time through the official Coachella website, with hotel packages already available. SZA closes the desert on Sunday night, and after the year she has had, the closing slot feels like the right place for her.
