SZA has stirred up Coachella 2027 hype with a timely Instagram update, potentially adding more weight to the speculation surrounding next year’s lineup of the annual Indio festival.

On Monday (Nov. 9), the seven-time Grammy winner reshared a fan’s post to her IG Stories that notably expressed excitement about “SZACHELLA,” plus a potential tour announcement and a new album. This weekend, SZA did indeed preview new music.

“Wait. Y’all really missed me?” SZA promptly added in a follow-up shared to her Stories. “I miss [you] toooooo.”

As you’ll recall, TMZ came through with a sources-citing report in October claiming that SZA was poised to be a performer at Coachella’s 2027 edition alongside Dua Lipa and Tame Impala. Previous speculation had pointed to Drake and Oasis, among others, as potential picks.

For now, we’ll just have to wait for official word on whether SZA, or any of these artists, ultimately land on the final lineup. A headlining slot on this particular festival is typically seen as one hell of a boon thanks to its double-weekend layout and extensive social media coverage. The scope of the festival also allows for elaborate production elements, which is something at which SZA and her team would no doubt excel.

Earlier this year, we took a look at the financial side of choosing Coachella headliners. Unsurprisingly, it’s a multimillion-dollar affair.

SZA herself has appeared at Coachella in the past, including joining headliner Justin Bieber as a surprise guest for the 2026 edition.
