Ayra Starr Is Playing Coachella 2027

Music

Lagos · Thursday 12 November 2026

Ayra Starr has been named on the line-up for Coachella 2027. She performs on the Sunday of both weekends, 11 and 18 April, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, on the night SZA headlines. "See you in the desert," she wrote on Instagram.

Coachella 2027

Day	Headliner
Friday	Dua Lipa
Saturday	Tame Impala
Sunday	SZA, with Ayra Starr on the bill

Weekends run 9 to 11 April and 16 to 18 April. Daddy Yankee also has top billing.

Why the Sunday slot is good news. Sharing a night with SZA puts Ayra in front of exactly the audience her music fits: young, R&B-leaning and global. A strong set in the desert travels further than almost any other single performance, because Coachella streams and clips circulate for months afterwards.

Coachella does not make careers on its own. It shows the world which careers are already being made.

Her year so far

Ayra Starr has spent 2026 promoting Starrgirl, including "Heaven Baby" with Zayn and interviews about her love of anime. Coachella in April gives the album a second life in the American market, where Nigerian women artists still have far fewer big stages than their male peers.
