Punjabi music is heading back to one of the world's biggest music stages. Singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh has been announced as part of the Coachella 2027 lineup, marking his return to the prestigious music festival four years after his historic debut in 2023. Sharing the stage with global music icons such as Dua Lipa, Madonna, SZA and Tame Impala, Diljit's comeback has already sparked excitement among fans.
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival announced its 2027 lineup on November 11. The festival will take place over two weekends — April 9-11 and April 16-18, 2027 — at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
Diljit Dosanjh To Perform On Coachella's Friday Lineup
Diljit has been included in the Friday lineup for both festival weekends, April 9 and April 16. The day will be headlined by Dua Lipa and will also feature Madonna, BLACKPINK member JISOO, Zara Larsson, Steve Lacy, Peggy Gou, Kehlani and Giorgio Moroder, among others.
Reacting to the announcement, Diljit shared Coachella's lineup post on his Instagram Stories with the caption: "Panjabi aa gaye main stage Coachella te oye!"
His return puts Punjabi music once again in the spotlight at a festival known for bringing together some of the biggest names in international music.
Tame Impala, SZA To Headline Saturday And Sunday
The 2027 lineup also features a strong roster of international artistes across the festival's remaining days.
Tame Impala will headline Saturday, alongside Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, Tiësto, Martin Garrix, Robyn, Måneskin and NCT.
SZA will headline Sunday, with performances by Don Toliver, Kygo, Dom Dolla, Empire of the Sun, Becky G and BABYMONSTER.
Daddy Yankee has also been announced with a special billing, while Justice will make its Bunker debut with 'Blinded by the Lights'.
From Historic 2023 Debut To Coachella 2027 Return
Diljit's return carries particular significance because of the milestone he achieved during his Coachella debut in 2023. He became the first Punjabi singer and the first mainstream Indian artiste to perform at the festival.
His performance introduced Punjabi music to a major international festival audience and drew widespread attention. He shared the 2023 lineup with artistes including BLACKPINK and Björk.
However, Diljit was not the first Indian artiste to perform at Coachella. Mumbai-born electronic music producer Ritesh D'Souza, who performs under the name B.R.E.E.D, appeared at the festival in 2015 alongside vocalist Tara Mae.
Singer Raveena Aurora performed in 2022 and became the first Indian woman to take the Coachella stage.
Several Indian and Indian-origin artistes have since featured in the festival's lineups. AP Dhillon and Sid Sriram performed in 2024, while the 2025 edition featured Hanumankind, electronic music collective Indo Warehouse and singer Shannon K.
Hanumankind's appearance in 2025 was another notable moment for Indian music at the festival. With Diljit now returning in 2027, Punjabi music is set to make another appearance on one of the world's most recognised music platforms.
