Could Coachella be part of Drake’s 2027 plans?
If the rumour turns into a booking, it would mark Drake’s first Coachella headline appearance since 2015.
That performance became one of the most talked-about sets of the weekend after Madonna appeared as a surprise guest and kissed Drake onstage.
He returned to the festival in 2017, this time joining Future as a surprise guest during his set.
A 2027 return would therefore come 12 years after Drake last headlined the festival.
Coachella is scheduled for April 9–11 and April 16–18, 2027, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, Calif.
For now, though, Drake’s name remains exactly that — a name in the discussion.
‘OVOChella would be a movie’: Fans react
Drake fans are thrilled by the Toronto rapper’s possible takeover of the iconic festival.
“OVOChella would be a movie,” one Instagram user wrote.
“Well overdue to return,” another added.
“I will sell a kidney for a ticket,” another user said.
Not everyone was thrilled by the possibility, though.
“Did they not learn from 2015?” one user asked, while another said they would be “selling my tickets” if Drake ends up on the bill.
For now, fans will have to wait for an official lineup announcement.
But with a world tour already on the horizon and Drake fresh off one of the busiest release years of his career, the Coachella rumour is enough to keep “OVOChella” chatter alive.
