Ayra Starr Confirmed for Coachella 2027

Nigerian singer Ayra Starr is set to perform at the 2027 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California. Festival organisers have placed her on the Sunday lineup for both weekends, April 11 and April 18.

She will share the day with headliner SZA and other acts including Don Toliver, Victoria Monét and Jorja Smith. The festival runs across two identical weekends at the Empire Polo Club, with Dua Lipa headlining Fridays and Tame Impala headlining Saturdays.

This will be Ayra Starr’s first solo performance at Coachella. She previously appeared as a guest during Koffee’s set in 2022. In response to the announcement, she wrote “see you in the desert” and later added “Let’s gooo.”

The Coachella booking arrives during a strong period in her career. In 2026 she became the first African artist to headline the halftime show at an NFL International Series game, performing at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London during the Philadelphia Eagles versus Jacksonville Jaguars matchup.

Ayra’s 2027 booking is the next dedicated slot for a Nigerian female artist after Tems, restoring that visibility after a gap.
