## Key points

- Madonna’s 2027 billing echoes her 2006 Coachella appearance.
- She is billed below the day’s headliner in both years.
- The return supports her recently released *Confessions* sequel.

## Summary

Madonna’s placement below Dua Lipa on Coachella’s 2027 lineup has prompted claims that the festival is slighting her. The article says her billing is instead a deliberate callback to her 2006 appearance, linking her return to the dance-focused album series.

In both years, she is billed as “Madonna in the Dance Tent” and appears below the day’s headliner; in 2006, that was Tool. Her 2027 performance will support a recently released sequel to *Confessions on a Dance Floor*. It will be her fourth appearance at the Empire Polo Grounds, following guest appearances during Drake’s 2015 and Sabrina Carpenter’s 2026 sets.
