Ayra Starr joins the Coachella 2027 line-up, with two performances alongside SZA and other global music stars in California
Nigerian Afrobeats singer Ayra Starr has secured a place on the line-up for the 2027 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California, United States, joining international acts including American singer SZA, Australian music project Tame Impala and British pop star Dua Lipa.
Festival organisers unveiled the 2027 line-up on Wednesday, November 11, confirming that Ayra Starr will perform on Sunday, April 11, and return for the second weekend on Sunday, April 18, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
The Nigerian singer will appear on the same Sunday bill as SZA, who is scheduled to headline both weekends.
Other performers listed for the day include Don Toliver, DOM DOLLA, Kygo, Empire of the Sun, Four Tet, Becky G, BABYMONSTER, Remi Wolf, Tove Lo, Victoria Monét and Jorja Smith.
Although Ayra Starr shares the festival with Tame Impala, the Australian act is scheduled to headline Saturday, April 10 and 17, while Dua Lipa will headline Friday, April 9 and 16. SZA will close the festival on both Sundays.
The 2027 edition will run across two weekends, from April 9 to 11 and April 16 to 18. Other major names on the bill include Madonna, Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, Zara Larsson and Daddy Yankee, who has been given a special top-billed slot.
Ayra Starr’s inclusion adds another international festival appearance to her growing career.
Born Oyinkansola Aderibigbe, the singer rose to prominence in 2021 with songs including Bloody Samaritan and Away, before gaining wider recognition with tracks such as Rush, Commas and Sability.
Signed to Mavin Records, she has built an international audience through her recordings, collaborations and live performances.
Her appearance at Coachella will give her an opportunity to perform before one of the world’s most widely followed festival audiences.
Her booking also reflects the continued presence of African music on major international festival stages, as Afrobeats artistes increasingly reach audiences beyond the continent.
Coachella is one of the major annual events on the global music calendar, bringing together performers from pop, hip-hop, electronic, alternative and other musical genres.
Its 2027 edition will feature the same line-up across both weekends, although individual performance times and stage assignments may be subject to change.
According to the festival’s official website, passes are scheduled to go on sale on Friday, November 13, 2026, at 12pm Pacific Time.
The festival has also confirmed that YouTube will continue as its exclusive livestream partner, extending an opportunity for fans who cannot attend in person to watch performances online.
