SZA has sparked excitement among fans after seemingly teasing a Coachella appearance next year while previewing an unreleased song.
The Kill Bill singer recently shared a snippet of a new song on Instagram which samples Natanya’s HUSH.
She wrote: “Live from Tahiti. Made n idea w a beat sampling a @n4t4nya song (sic)”
She’s now shared a Reel to her Instagram Story that appears to suggest she is set to play in the desert next April, as well as teasing a new album and tour for next year.
The clip has the following text across it: “2027
“- SZACHELLA
“- SZA TOUR
“-SZA3
“IM SEATED. (sic)”
The fact that SZA shared the video, which was posted by a fan with the handle @zacharykahn_, suggests she’s backing the three predictions.
Coachella is set to return to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, over the weekends of April 9 to 11 and April 16 to 18. However, no artists have been officially confirmed yet.
SZA has already fuelled speculation that she could headline the festival, after reports linked her to the 2027 line-up alongside Dua Lipa and Tame Impala. The singer subsequently appeared to confirm the reports in an Instagram comment, referring to Dua and Tame Impala as the “other two headliners” and insisting: “I’m still headlining.” However, Coachella itself has yet to announce its 2027 line-up.
Last month, it was reported that Dua Lipa was “in advanced talks” to headline, after she turned down the world-famous festival in 2023 to appear at Glastonbury instead.
An insider told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “Dua initially was in talks with Coachella in 2023, but ultimately, she went with Glastonbury.
“Now, after a huge worldwide stadium tour, Coachella bosses have pulled out all the stops to get her to headline.”
It’s also been claimed that K-pop megastars BTS held “early talks” with the festival, but ultimately decided it wasn’t the time.
A source said: “BTS were in early talks for Coachella, but it all fizzled out quite quickly.
“They wanted to focus on their own tour and said Coachella wasn’t going to work for them.”
