Dua Lipa, Tame Impala, Fred Again.. reportedly in talks for Coachella 2027 – with BTS, SZA, Oasis and Radiohead being chased
Dua Lipa , Tame Impala and Fred Again.. are reportedly being lined up as headliners for Coachella 2027 .
According to a new report from industry publication Hits Daily Double , Lipa and Tame Impala are expected to headline next year’s edition of the California festival.
Fred Again.., meanwhile, is reportedly in contention for the special “Returning to the Desert” position that traditionally appears separately at the bottom of the festival poster.
A further top-billed slot is said to remain open, with BTS , SZA , Oasis and Radiohead all reportedly being pursued.
For what it’s worth, the report claims that SZA is currently “way more likely” to secure the position than Oasis or Radiohead.
Miley Cyrus is also said to have been approached, but reportedly turned down the offer.
Coachella has not commented on the speculation and no artists have yet been officially confirmed for its 2027 line-up.

Her latest album remains 2024’s ‘ Radical Optimism ’, much of which was produced by Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker .
The pair have continued to perform together since its release, with Lipa joining Parker at London’s O2 in May for a rendition of their collaboration ‘Houdini’.
Tame Impala have previously appeared at Coachella four times, first playing the festival in 2011 before returning in 2013 and 2015.
Parker’s project went on to headline in 2019, shortly before the release of 2020 album ‘The Slow Rush’.
Their latest record, ‘ Deadbeat ’, arrived in October 2025 and saw Parker move further into dance and electronic territory.
The band are also due to return to the UK and Europe for a run of arena shows with Wet Leg in May and June 2027 , shortly after the proposed Coachella dates.
