The fourth headliner remains a mystery, but BTS, SZA, Oasis, and Radiohead are allegedly being chased for the final slot. Report: Dua Lipa, Tame Impala, Fred again.. In Talks for Coachella 2027 Paolo Ragusa
Coachella rumor season is in full swing, and several major acts appear to be frontrunners to headline the 2027 edition . According to industry publication Hits Daily Double , Tame Impala and Dua Lipa are expected to headline the California festival, while Fred again.. will apparently claim the “Returning to the Desert” slot listed at the bottom of the poster.
If the rumors turn out to be true, it’ll be Tame Impala’s fifth time performing at Coachella; they previously headlined in 2019 (offering a very, very limited preview of their 2020 album The Slow Rush ), and played the festival in 2015, 2013, and 2011. Fred again.. has also technically headlined Coachella before, stepping in to replace Frank Ocean for Weekend 2 in 2023 alongside Four Tet and Skrillex. Dua Lipa, on the other hand, has never played Coachella before — and given that it’ll be three years since her last album by April 2027, she’d likely make her festival debut with new music in tow.
Still, with Tame Impala, Dua Lipa, and Fred Again.. reportedly in contention for three of the headlining slots, one mystery spot remains. HDD claims that BTS, SZA, Oasis, and Radiohead are among the artists being pursued for the final headliner position. Miley Cyrus was also allegedly in talks but ultimately turned down the offer. According to HDD, SZA is currently “way more likely” to land the slot than Oasis or Radiohead.
Coachella 2027 goes down on April 9th-11th and April 16th-18th at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. The release date for the lineup is unknown, but last year, the poster arrived on September 16th.
