Giorgio Moroder will play Coachella 2027 on Friday of both weekends
Giorgio Moroder is bringing disco to the desert. “Coachella, let’s turn the desert into a dancefloor,” he wrote on Instagram, as reported by Mixmag Asia. “I’ll bring the disco. You bring the love.”
Coachella’s official lineup data now shows when he plays. Moroder appears on Friday of both weekends: April 9 and April 16, 2027. Coachella hasn’t announced his stage, set time or format. That includes whether he will play a DJ set or a live show.
What’s new since the lineup
BEZ’s November 11 lineup story named Moroder among the 2027 acts. Coachella’s official lineup data now confirms his day on both weekends.
The festival runs April 9–11 and April 16–18 at Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. According to DJ Mag, Friday also features Madonna in the Dance Tent and Dua Lipa as headliner. Mixmag Asia lists Moroder on Friday alongside Peggy Gou, Chris Stussy and SG Lewis.
DJ Mag notes that he will play at 86 years old.
A long road to the polo fields
Mixmag Asia gives his birth year as 1940. He produced Donna Summer’s 1977 single “I Feel Love.” He also won an Academy Award for his Midnight Express score.
Decades later, he shared the Album of the Year Grammy for Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories. Daft Punk’s “One More Time” recently passed one billion Spotify streams.
How fans reacted
Mixmag Asia quoted fan posts from a Reddit thread on r/Coachella. The thread’s original poster called it “maybe the coolest booking for Coachella since covid.” The same user added, “Dude is 86, this is going to be a once in a lifetime thing!”
Other fans asked, “would he bring out Daft Punk??” That remains fan speculation. Nothing official points to it. One more fan post read, “Just please don’t conflict with Madonna.” Coachella hasn’t published set times yet.
