Dua Lipa and Tame Impala chase Coachella 2027 spots with BTS and Oasis


The anticipation for the next Coachella spectacle is already building, fueled by whispers from the music world suggesting a truly epic lineup for 2027. While the official line-up remains a tantalizing secret, industry buzz is circulating about a dream team ready to set the stage in Indio, California.

The conversation is dominated by the tantalizing possibility of Dua Lipa and Tame Impala taking the headlining spots. This pairing is highly anticipated, especially given their creative synergy, which was recently highlighted during their performance of Houdini in London. If these reports hold true, it would mark Lipa’s first-ever appearance at the festival, following the release of her recent album Radical Optimism, much of which involved Tame Impala’s involvement.

Adding another layer of intrigue, Fred Again.. is reportedly in contention for the special “Returning to the Desert” slot, a position that traditionally garners massive attention. Meanwhile, the competition for the remaining top-billed slots is fierce, with several global superstars vying for a spot on the main stage.

The race is on for big names like BTS, SZA, Oasis, and Radiohead. While all are hotly pursued, reports indicate that SZA is currently considered the strongest contender for a major slot, while Oasis and Radiohead also feature prominently in the speculation.

Elsewhere, the buzz extends to other major acts. Oasis are widely tipped to return to the road in 2027, potentially launching an extensive UK and European tour that might include a massive residency in Manchester and Knebworth.

Radiohead also has live plans for next year, with guitarist Ed O’Brien indicating the band intends to play twenty shows each year on a different continent starting in 2027.

Even some artists who have graced the festival before are navigating their next moves. Tame Impala has a history of returning to Coachella, having played multiple times since 2011, and the band is set for a return to the UK and Europe in 2027. Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus has reportedly passed on an offer for the festival, choosing instead to focus on her latest music, including her tenth album Bass Persuades>.

The speculation shows that even established acts are actively planning their next big moves. With Coachella 2027 slated for April weekends, the music world is buzzing about which legendary and contemporary sounds will define the festival’s unforgettable experience.
