INDIO, Calif. — The poster is out. Coachella's 2027 lineup, revealed early Wednesday by promoter Goldenvoice, puts Dua Lipa at the top of both Fridays, Tame Impala on Saturdays and SZA on Sundays when the festival returns to the Empire Polo Club on April 9-11 and April 16-18, 2027 — and the name drawing the second look is on the line below: Madonna, billed specifically as performing in the dance tent on Fridays, returning to the tent format she first played at the festival in 2006.

Two more attractions carry standalone billing. Daddy Yankee appears under the banner 'In The Desert,' and Justice will present the 'Bunker Debut' of Blinded By The Lights, with performance dates for those presentations not yet specified. Friday's bill also brings Zara Larsson, Steve Lacy, Jisoo, Diljit Dosanjh, Peggy Gou and Kehlani; Saturday adds Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer and Robyn; Sunday brings Don Toliver, Dom Dolla, Kygo, Empire of the Sun and Four Tet.

North Texas has a name on the poster: Fort Worth's Leon Bridges is set for Saturdays, on the Tame Impala day — the hometown soul singer on the biggest festival bill in American music, five months before the gates open. For Dallas-Fort Worth fans pricing the trip, passes go on sale Friday, November 13 at 12 p.m. Pacific (2 p.m. Central) through the festival's site.

The announcement landed as one of the morning's most-searched topics in the United States, and the shape of the bill explains why: three first-or-returning headliners, a pop icon slotted into a tent, a reggaeton king with a banner of his own, and enough depth underneath — Robyn to Giorgio Moroder — to argue about until April.

The Only KidZania in America Is in Frisco — and It Just Turned Seven

There are 27 KidZania cities in 18 countries, and exactly one of them is in the United States: the 100,000-square-foot, kid-sized city inside Stonebriar Centre in Frisco, where children ages 4 to 14 work as pilots, physicians, chefs and TV hosts and get paid in kidZos. It opened in November 2019 — and this month it is celebrating its seventh birthday with a dance party, a runway, a snow-globe workshop and 15% off tickets through December 31.

Irma P. Hall, Dallas Theatre Co-Founder and the Matriarch of 'Soul Food,' Dies at 91

Irma P. Hall taught school in rural Texas for 27 years before Hollywood ever called — then she co-founded the Dallas Minority Repertory Theatre, played Big Mama Jo in 'Soul Food,' and built a nearly five-decade career that Dallas–Fort Worth still honors every year with theatre awards that carry her name. She died Tuesday in Dallas, her family confirmed Wednesday. She was 91.
