Ayra Starr is heading to the desert. The Nigerian singer has been confirmed for the 2027 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, marking her first solo performance at the iconic event. Her name appears on the Sunday lineup for both weekends, April 11 and April 18, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
She will share that Sunday slot with some serious company. SZA, one of the festival's three headliners, tops the bill alongside Don Toliver, Jorja Smith, Victoria Monét, Becky G, MUNA, and Kygo, among others. Reggaeton legend Daddy Yankee is also billed for a special performance across the two weekends.
The 2027 Coachella lineup is stacked from top to bottom. Dua Lipa, Tame Impala, and SZA headline the three-day festival, with Madonna, Steve Lacy, Zara Larsson, Kehlani, Tiësto, Martin Garrix, Peggy Gou, T-Pain, and JISOO all making appearances across the full bill.
For Ayra Starr, a Coachella slot as a solo act is a milestone that speaks for itself. Watch this space.
