Coachella was dealt a huge blow when BTS reportedly dropped out of a planned headlining set. However, they’ve quickly zeroed in on two of the biggest stars in music. Reportedly, Coachella has reached out to both Drake and SZA and is finalizing details to bring them aboard.

Drake has had one of the best years of his careers. His triple album dominated the charts, with several hits. SZA has stayed quiet this year, but her incredible body of work speaks for itself.
The report from Hits Double Daily also suggests Radiohead is in the running to headline as well.
Currently, Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and Fred Again… are expected to headline.
Last year, Coachella dialed back the Hip Hop and R&B, with only Young Thug representing Hip Hop in a headlining sense.
Instead, Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, The Strokes, Karol G, and Anyma led the way for the festival.
Drake and SZA are now the leading candidates to headline COACHELLA 2027 🚨

The Latest With Drake
Other than dropping his 4th album, which served as a deluxe version to Habibti in FOMO, Drake has stayed busy.
He’s been cashing in the hall pass with Lena The Plug, after her split with Adam22 and, making more memes online with his goth girl Pinkychu.
Then, he flashed Cash Money chains and indicated he melted Pharrell’s old jewelry to make his own chains.
