Coachella 2027 will take place over two weekends, from April 9th through 11th and 16th through the 18th, and the festival has finally dropped the names of those who will perform. The three headliners are rather meh, but a deep pool of talent will be the reason you will want to go.
The headliners will be Dua Lipa, Tame Impala, and SZA. Sure, they are all solid, especially the latter two, but some of those playing leading up to their performances are much more intriguing. Maybe the decision-makers of the Indio, California-based festival knew they'd need lots of reasons for people to buy tickets.
Dua Lipa will be the headliner on April 9th and 16th, but Madonna will put on a show in the dance tent. The list of other performers on those days might make you skip the headliners and attend early. Math rockers Angine de Poitrine will appear, for instance. So will Social Distortion, La Dispute, the Damned, and Zara Larsson.

Tame Impala will headline on April 10th and 17th, and that should be a great show, but Kevin Parker won't be alone. Phoebe Bridgers (how is she not a headliner?) will perform, as will Weezer, Robyn, and Måneskin. Not a Tame Impala fan? You still have many reasons to watch Coachella.
For the April 11th and 18th dates, SZA will headline. Other reasons to go include Jorja Smith, Pennywise, and Don Toliver. The SZA dates might be the most eclectic ones, and maybe that is why you should choose to show up on those days.
Tickets, though, aren't cheap. Besides paying for a place to stay and maybe an airline flight (even if you drive, gas isn't cheap), general admission passes for both weekends for Tier 2 start at $779. If you want VIP passes for Tier 2 for the first weekend, the cost is $1,399. For the second weekend, those same passes start at $1,349.
In other words, you'd better like a lot of what is being performed, and plan on staying all day to get your money's worth.

Tickets will go on sale on Friday, November 13th, and can be found on the official Coachella website. Passes will sell out, mind you, so you might need to add your name to a waitlist, too.
Here is the positive part for many music fans. Coachella has previously been available to stream on YouTube, and that should be the expectation in 2027.
