Rumored 2027 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival headliner SZA may have just spilled the beans about her April plans.
Fans of R&B singer SZA have been posting on social media that she seemingly confirmed Coachella headlining rumors through her "finsta" account — a private Instagram account that people have alongside their public account.
"I said yes to the big show," the (now private) Instagram account @notmusicatalliswear posted, which is run by the singer, according to a screenshot posted on the website Reddit. "Im not gonna rush my album not matter what this time . its gonna be perfect . See you (expletive) in the desert ."
The singer also used her public Instagram account to "confirm" the rumors by commenting on a post titled "SZA confirms her Coachella 2027 appearance" from the account @femalernb. The post featured a screenshot of her finsta post caption.
"I cannot WAIT to give yall the show of my life," she wrote to one user.
SZA also seemingly confirmed rumors that Dua Lipa and Tame Impala would be the other two headliners. In response to someone commenting that they could do without SZA headlining the Southern California festival, SZA wrote, "you can literally go see the other two headliners. I assume u must listen to lots of tame and dua lipa lol . But you chose to publicaly bring down the ONLY Black woman headliner this year.. as a black man . Super wack of u honestly . I'm still headlining . Enjoy."

Goldenvoice, the Los Angeles-based promoter behind Coachella, has not responded or released any information about the Coachella 2027 lineup.
If SZA is indeed on the lineup, it will make for another appearance for her at the Coachella festival and mark her first time headlining. She first performed her own set at the festival in 2016 inside the Gobi Tent, the same smaller stage that hosted Chappell Roan's breakout Coachella 2024 set. SZA returned in 2018 for her main stage debut, when she brought out special guests Kendrick Lamar, Isaiah Rashad and Trippie Redd. Most recently, she surprised the crowd during Justin Bieber's 2026 weekend 2 set by popping out to perform "Snooze" with the headliner.
Dua Lipa, SZA, Tame Impala rumored to be Coachella headliners
TMZ, Complex, Consequence of Sound and several other outlets reported on late-October rumors that Dua Lipa, SZA and Tame Impala would headline the festival in April 2027. Goldenvoice President and CEO Paul Tollett did not respond to The Desert Sun when asked for comment Oct. 30.
TMZ also reported that "Coachella organizers also wanted BTS and Rage Against the Machine to hit the stage, but both groups passed," though The Desert Sun was unable to verify. Beloved K-pop boy band BTS has never performed at the festival, but rap/metal/rock band Rage Against the Machine has a long history with Coachella, headlining the inaugural event in 1999 and again in 2007 for the group's first performance in seven years after breaking up. The band was slated to perform at Coachella 2020 before it was canceled amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
