Diljit Dosanjh will return to Coachella in 2027, joining headliners Dua Lipa, SZA and Tame Impala. Madonna, Daddy Yankee, JISOO, Phoebe Bridgers and Robyn are also among the performers announced for the California music festival

Diljit Dosanjh is heading back to the California desert. The Punjabi music sensation has been announced as one of the performers at the 2027 edition of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, joining an eclectic international roster led by Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA. Pop legend Madonna, BLACKPINK member JISOO, Phoebe Bridgers, Robyn and Daddy Yankee are among the other major names featuring on the bill.
The 2027 festival will unfold over two weekends, from April 9 to 11 and April 16 to 18, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. The three headliners will lead the respective days, with Dua Lipa taking the Friday slot, Tame Impala headlining Saturday and SZA closing the festival on Sunday. The line-up brings together a mix of pop, alternative rock, R&B, electronic music and Latin sounds.
For Indian music fans, Diljit's return is one of the biggest highlights of the announcement. The singer made history with his Coachella debut in 2023, when his performance brought Punjabi music to one of the world's most recognised music festival stages. His appearance in 2027 marks his return to the event and further reflects the growing international reach of Punjabi music.
Madonna's inclusion is another major draw. The global pop icon is listed for Friday's Dance Tent, adding a significant pop-culture moment to the festival's electronic music programming. Reggaeton pioneer Daddy Yankee has also been announced under the special 'In the Desert' billing. Meanwhile, electronic duo Justice are set to make their Bunker debut with 'Blinded by the Lights'.

The Friday programme features an extensive mix of international acts, including Zara Larsson, Steve Lacy, JISOO, Peggy Gou, Kehlani, Leon Thomas and Giorgio Moroder. Saturday's performers include Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, Robyn, Måneskin, NCT, Leon Bridges, Tiësto, Martin Garrix and Underworld.
Sunday will see performances by Don Toliver, Dom Dolla, Kygo, Empire of the Sun, Four Tet, The Neighbourhood, Becky G, BABYMONSTER, Victoria Monét and Jorja Smith, among others. The spread of artists reflects Coachella's continued focus on bringing established international stars together with acts from different musical scenes and generations.
The announcement comes after weeks of speculation about the festival's headline performers. With Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA now confirmed, the 2027 edition is shaping up as a major gathering across several musical genres, while Madonna and Diljit add further star power to an already expansive bill.
