Perth’s Tame Impala will join pop stars Dua Lipa and SZA in headlining Coachella 2027 as the iconic music festival set in the Californian desert announces its highly anticipated line-up.

The annual event is traditionally held across two consecutive weekends at Indio’s Empire Polo Club grounds, with next year’s proceedings running from April 9-11, and 16-18.

British diva Dua Lipa headlines the Friday schedule, with the Queen of Pop in Madonna, and Swedish sensation Zara Larsson for supports.

The Saturday will see Fremantle’s number one ticket holder in Kevin Parker take the stage to front Tame Impala, with the mega billing following the band’s recent Aussie tour conclusion at RAC Arena on October 25.

It follows Tame Impala’s 2019 headline status at the event, and their fifth total performance since debuting in 2011 as an emerging act.

Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, Tiesto, Martin Garrix, Role Model and ADELA will also appear on the Saturday.

Sunday’s proceedings will welcome American songstress SZA lead Don Toliver, Melbourne’s Dom Dolla, Becky G, and Empire of the Sun, with one half of the latter in Luke Steele hailing from Perth.

It means two WA-raised performers will take on the massive festival in consecutive days.

“Coachella 27... Let’s go!!!!!!!”, Empire of the Sun wrote to social media.

While Dom Dolla beckoned, “See you in the desert”.

In response to the announcement, Steele’s sister Katy Steele, who fronts Little Birdy, wrote, “Ok I’m coming”.

More broadly, a total of seven Aussie acts will perform, with Gang of Youths, Genesis Owusu, The Avalanches, and Odd Mob also getting the call up.

Daddy Yankee will feature in an “In the desert” set on the Sunday, with French duo Justice to perform at The Bunker — presenting this year as a cavernous underground installation housing roughly 300 people.

The festival’s 2026 line-up was headlined by Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G.
