Coachella 2027 could feature SZA, Dua Lipa and Tame Impala as its headline performers, according to reports emerging ahead of the festival’s official line-up announcement. The three artists are reportedly being considered for the event’s top billing, bringing together R&B, pop and alternative music.

Reports from September 2026 indicated that Tame Impala and Dua Lipa had secured two of the festival’s three headline positions. On 30 October, further reports suggested that SZA had been confirmed for the remaining slot, citing industry sources. However, Coachella organisers have not officially announced the 2027 performers, so the reported bookings remain unconfirmed.

SZA’s reported inclusion follows her appearance at Coachella 2026, where she joined Justin Bieber on stage to perform ‘Snooze’. The singer, whose full name is Solána Imani Rowe, has become a prominent figure in contemporary R&B through albums including Ctrl and SOS. Released in 2022, SOS produced several successful singles, including ‘Kill Bill’, ‘Snooze’ and ‘Nobody Gets Me’. Its expanded edition, Lana, released in 2024, added further material to her catalogue.

She also toured with Kendrick Lamar on the Grand National Tour in 2025, performing to stadium audiences across North America and other international locations. A headline performance at Coachella would give SZA the opportunity to present a full set at the festival after her guest appearance earlier in the year.

For Dua Lipa, the reported booking would mark a significant moment in her relationship with Coachella. She previously appeared as a guest during Martin Garrix’s performance at the festival in 2017 but has yet to headline the event.

The British-Albanian singer has released three studio albums: Dua Lipa, Future Nostalgia and Radical Optimism. Her catalogue includes ‘New Rules’, ‘Don’t Start Now’, ‘Levitating’ and ‘Houdini’, songs that have helped establish her position in international pop music. She also collaborated with Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker on ‘Houdini’, released in 2023, giving the two reported headliners an existing musical connection.

Tame Impala, the musical project led by Australian musician Kevin Parker, has a longer history with Coachella. The project first performed at the festival in 2011, returning in 2013 and 2015 before taking the headline position in 2019.

Parker has since continued to develop Tame Impala’s sound, incorporating more electronic and dance influences alongside its psychedelic rock foundations. The project’s fifth studio album, Deadbeat, released in 2025, continued this direction. Tracks including ‘Dracula’ and ‘Loser’ have also added to its more recent catalogue.

A second headline appearance would bring Parker back to the festival several years after his 2019 performance. His reported return also comes as Tame Impala continues to attract listeners across alternative rock, electronic and pop audiences.

The wider Coachella 2027 line-up has also attracted speculation. Fred Again.. was mentioned in reports as a possible performer in the festival’s special Returning to the Desert slot. BTS, Oasis and Radiohead were also discussed as potential bookings, although later reports suggested they were no longer expected to headline. Miley Cyrus was reportedly approached but declined an offer. These names have not been confirmed by the festival.

Coachella 2027 is scheduled to take place from 9 to 11 April and 16 to 18 April at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. The festival traditionally runs across two consecutive weekends, with performers appearing across both. Reports also indicated that advance tickets sold out in May, months before the expected announcement of the line-up.

If the reports prove accurate, SZA and Dua Lipa would join Tame Impala as the festival’s three headline acts. The official announcement will establish whether the bookings are correct and reveal which other performers will appear across the two weekends.

Ariana Grande has shared new photographs of herself with Ricky Alvarez, offering another glimpse into their rekindled romance.

The singer, 33, posted a collection of on Instagram on Monday, November 2, including two affectionate moments with the dancer and photographer, 35. The opening picture shows Grande and Alvarez embracing outdoors in New York City, with the singer wrapping her arms around him. Another photograph shows her kissing him on the forehead.

The Instagram carousel also included photographs of Grande’s dogs, selfies and her recently changed hairstyle. The post offered a look at some of her activities since completing her Eternal Sunshine Tour in September.

The latest post came shortly after the couple were spotted watching runners at the New York City Marathon.

Grande made her relationship with Alvarez Instagram official in August. She included photographs of the pair in a carousel, one of which showed them posing together in a mirror selfie. Grande wore a white off-the-shoulder top with black trousers, while Alvarez wore a white T-shirt and black trousers. The pair were also pictured holding hands.

Before making their relationship public, the pair had prompted speculation after being spotted together several times. Grande and Alvarez were first seen spending time together in Texas in June, followed by further sightings in Florida.

Alvarez joined Grande’s team as a backup dancer in 2014, and the pair began dating the following year. They dated for approximately a year before separating in 2016.

Grande later referenced their relationship in her 2018 hit Thank U, Next, singing, “Wrote some songs about Ricky / Now I listen and laugh.” Alvarez responded to the song’s release with an Instagram Story in which he thanked Grande and joked that the songs were good.

The former couple have since rekindled their romance. During her Eternal Sunshine Tour, Grande repeatedly changed the lyrics about Alvarez in Thank U, Next, giving fans clues about their reunion.

At her June 26 performance in Austin, Texas, she sang, “Wrote some songs about Ricky / I know he still got my back.”

During her July 13 performance in Brooklyn, Grande changed the line again, singing, “We always find our way back.”

She made another change during the final show of her tour at London’s O2 Arena on September 1. Instead of the original lyrics, Grande sang, “Wrote some songs about Ricky / I’m tryna make him my last.”

Grande also included Alvarez in a behind-the-scenes video marking the end of her tour. The footage showed him taking photographs of her during rehearsals before the pair shared a kiss at the edge of the stage.

Their reunion brings Grande and Alvarez back together more than a decade after they first met while working on her tour. Their history has also given new meaning to the lyrics Grande once wrote about their breakup, particularly her latest decision to replace the original words with a reference to making Alvarez her last.

Nicolas Cage is staying in hotels after a massive sinkhole damaged the driveway of his Malibu home, disrupting his living arrangements and changing his Halloween plans. The 62-year-old actor revealed his situation during an appearance at Los Angeles Comic Con on October 31, while discussing how he intended to celebrate the holiday.

“I’m currently a little bit homeless,” Cage told the audience. “Something happened to my house in Malibu, so I’m just sort of living in hotels.” He explained that staying away from home meant missing out on the usual trick-or-treaters he would have welcomed on Halloween.

The actor’s comments came nearly two months after a large sinkhole opened outside his oceanfront residence on Sea Level Drive in Malibu. The collapse swallowed a substantial section of his driveway, leaving a deep crater near the property. The hole measured approximately 25 feet deep and 30 by 60 feet wide, according to information released by the city.

The damage also affected access to neighbouring homes. On September 8, Malibu declared a local emergency and issued evacuation orders for 31 residences after the collapse blocked the only road connecting the beachside neighbourhood to the surrounding area. Seven homes were red-tagged because of hazardous conditions, while another 24 were restricted because residents had lost safe vehicle access.

The situation also raised concerns about emergency response in the area. The remaining section of the road was too narrow to accommodate larger emergency vehicles, including fire engines. Gas service was shut off after a leak was reported, while authorities warned that further coastal erosion could worsen conditions.

The sinkhole developed amid high tides, coastal flooding and heavy surf associated with Tropical Storm Marie. Its impact extended beyond Cage’s property, leaving other residents unable to access their homes by vehicle and requiring the homeowners’ association to coordinate repair work on the private road.

Cage has also taken steps to address the damage to his property. In October, he obtained four permits for work connected to the sinkhole. The planned work included debris removal, excavation to collect soil samples and the installation of sandbags to help protect the property from strong waves and further coastal erosion. The homeowners’ association is responsible for overseeing repairs to the private roadway.

It remains unclear when Cage will be able to return to his Malibu home. The road’s condition and the work required to make the area safe have also left neighbouring residents waiting for access to be restored.

Despite the disruption, Cage had plans to celebrate Halloween with his four-year-old daughter, August, whom he shares with his wife, Riko Shibata. He told the Comic Con audience that he intended to take her trick-or-treating somewhere in Santa Monica.

The actor also had a film planned for later that evening. After putting August to bed, he intended to watch Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 horror classic, The Shining, which he described as one of his favourite movies ever made. Cage also joked about the film’s director having received a Razzie nomination for Worst Director before praising Kubrick’s work on the production.

Cage and Shibata married in Las Vegas in February 2021. August is his youngest child. He also has two sons: Weston, 35, whom he shares with former partner Christina Fulton, and Kal-El, 21, from his previous marriage to Alice Kim.

For now, Cage’s hotel stays remain a temporary arrangement while the damage to his Malibu property and the surrounding road is addressed. His Halloween remarks have brought renewed attention to a sinkhole that has left dozens of households dealing with the consequences of the same coastal emergency.
