Nearby: Indio, CAWelp, looks like we HAVE to go to Coachella next year! Babe, grab your sunscreen, clear backpacks, and windbreakers, because Coachella just dropped its 2027 lineup, and it is absolutely sickening! Dua Lipa, Tame Impala, and SZA are headlining the festival, which returns to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, for two weekends, April 9–11 and April 16–18. Reggaeton legend Daddy Yankee is also making his Coachella debut with a special performance billed as “Daddy Yankee in the Desert.” And the rest of the lineup? Just as exciting. Fetty Wap is making his Coachella comeback after being released from federal prison earlier this year, while Empire of the Sun, Weezer, and pop royalty Robyn are also heading to the desert. Oh, by the way, did we mention Madonna?! The Queen of Pop is returning to Coachella's dance tent 21 years after her iconic 2006 performance. You're welcome, we gays totally manifested this one! And yes, we're counting Madonna among our LGBTQ+ favorites.
