The electronic music pioneer has confirmed the booking: “I’ll bring the disco. You bring the love.”
Coachella has announced its 2027 line-up, with Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA headlining across two weekends in April at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
Big names from the dance and electronic music front include Tiësto, Martin Garrix, Solomun, Charlotte de Witte, Underworld, Dom Dolla and Four Tet who appear across the weekend.
The bottom of the flyer reads “The Bunker Debut of Justice — Blinded by the Lights”. Ed Banger commented on the announcement: “Who’s coming into the bunker ?”
One name that has caught the attention of dance and electronic music fans is the “Father of Disco” himself, Giorgio Moroder, who is listed on Friday alongside Peggy Gou, Chris Stussy and SG Lewis.
Moroder confirmed the booking on Instagram by posting the flyer with the caption: “Coachella, let’s turn the desert into a dancefloor. I’ll bring the disco. You bring the love.”
