SZA Appears to Confirm Coachella 2027 Headline Slot, and Teases New Song

SZA appears to have confirmed she will headline Coachella 2027. On Nov. 9, she reposted a fan video to her Instagram Story that read "2027: SZACHELLA … IM SEATED," according to Billboard. A headliner is the act at the top of a festival bill, the one playing the biggest slot.

Coachella is the large music festival held in Indio, California. Multiple publications, including TMZ, have reported that SZA will lead the 2027 bill. Those reports name Dua Lipa and Tame Impala as the other two headliners.

SZA has also been teasing new music. Days before the repost, she shared a video of her microphone set up at a tropical beach, with a caption about making a song about feeling a certain way that day. A short snippet of the new song has since circulated. It includes a lyric asking whether she is a "bitch" for telling a man "Don't f--k me like this."

On Nov. 10, she responded to the reaction to the teaser by sharing fan videos on her Story. Alongside them she wrote "Wait Yall really missed me?" and "I miss u toooooo."

Her last full release was a deluxe edition of her album SOS, titled SOS Deluxe: Lana, which arrived in February 2025. Apart from collaborations with other artists, she has not released new music since then. That album topped the Billboard 200, the main US chart for albums, which ranks records by their weekly sales and streams.

For fans, the repost and the teaser are the clearest signals so far that new music and a festival slot are on the way. Neither has been formally announced, so the details of the song, its release date and the full Coachella lineup remain open.
