Diljit Dosanjh Set for Coachella Return in 2027 Alongside Madonna and Dua Lipa

The Punjabi singer will perform again at the California festival, which has unveiled a headline-heavy lineup across two April weekends.

A Second Stage Call for Diljit Dosanjh

Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh has been booked for another appearance at Coachella, the California music festival, roughly four years after his first set there. The organisers released the full roster for the 2027 edition, which spans two weekends at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, with Dosanjh slotted onto the Friday bill for both April 9 and April 16.

Star Lineup Across Three Days

Friday’s program is topped by Madonna and Dua Lipa. It also includes BLACKPINK member Jisoo, Zara Larsson, Steve Lacy, Kehlani, Peggy Gou and Giorgio Moroder. Saturday, April 10 and 17, belongs to Tame Impala, with Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, Tiësto, Martin Garrix, Robyn, Måneskin and the K-pop group NCT also scheduled. Sunday brings SZA into the headline position, joined by Don Toliver, Kygo, Dom Dolla, Empire of the Sun, Becky G and BABYMONSTER. Daddy Yankee will appear in a separately billed slot, and Justice is set to debut at the festival’s Bunker stage.

Beyond the headliners, the bill spans several genres. Electronic acts such as Underworld, Charlotte de Witte and Four Tet sit alongside hip-hop and R&B performers including JID, Denzel Curry and Victoria Monét. Latin artists like Karol G and Bad Gyal are also included, and Diplo will perform under his country-leaning Thomas Wesley alias.

Dosanjh’s Earlier Milestone

Dosanjh’s 2023 appearance carried historical weight. He became the first Punjabi artist to perform on Coachella’s main stage, a set that drew wide attention online. Indian artists had performed at the festival before him, including electronic producer Ritesh D’Souza, known as B.R.E.E.D, in 2015 and singer Raveena Aurora in 2022, but Dosanjh’s appearance was the first by a mainstream Indian act of his profile.

Dosanjh is currently touring India under the Aura tour, with concerts already held in New Delhi and further dates planned in Indore, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Chandigarh. His recent film work includes Border 2 and Main Vaapas Aaunga. The Coachella lineup was announced on November 11, and the festival runs April 9 to 11 and April 16 to 18, 2027.
