The Coachella lineup traditionally debuted in January, but this year’s poster dropped in September 2025, signaling that the festival’s rumored headliners for 2027 are once again under discussion. Industry publication HITS Daily Double has released a fresh list of anticipated acts.
At the top of the speculated roster is Tame Impala. Kevin Parker’s current arena‑scale performances have been widely praised, and his catalog—filled with chart‑topping tracks—has consistently resonated at major festivals, including Coachella, where the Australian act previously headlined in 2019. As the festival’s musical direction has tilted toward pop in recent editions, Tame Impala’s evolution mirrors that shift.
Also mentioned as a likely headline act is Parker’s collaborator Dua Lipa. The British pop star ranks among the biggest entertainers of her generation and aligns with Coachella’s contemporary focus on mainstream pop. According to the report, BTS, the Korean pop phenoms who recently returned after their mandatory military service, are expected to round out the three‑headliner lineup. In addition, Coachella approached Miley Cyrus, but she declined; Cyrus today unveiled her new album Bass Persuades.
Further down the list, HITS Daily Double notes that SZA, Oasis, and Radiohead are under consideration. Among these, SZA is viewed as the most plausible contender, given her current chart success and festival appeal. The article also discloses that Olivia Rodrigo dismissed her managers, Josh Dembling and Mookie Singerman, shortly before the Daisy Chain Fields festival last weekend. Meanwhile, Soundgarden’s surviving members—following their performance at the NFL season opener in Seattle—are reportedly evaluating their first tour since frontman Chris Cornell’s death in 2017.
Coachella 2027 is scheduled for two weekends—April 9‑11 and April 16‑18—at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. Advance tickets went on sale May 1 and sold out rapidly.
