Two Canadian acts are set to take on one of the world’s biggest music festival stages next year, and it’s not who everyone expected.
Ontario-born hip-hop producer Murda Beatz and Viral Quebec rock duo Angine de Poitrine are among the performers announced for Coachella’s 2027 lineup.
The annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival unveiled its 2027 lineup on Wednesday, announcing more than 100 acts slated to play the two consecutive April weekends.
Will Drake be there?
While there was speculation that Drake would not only play, but possibly headline the massive festival, ultimately the lineup did not indicate he would be in attendance.
The artist himself commented under Coachella’s official announcement on Instagram, leaving a simple “😢” in reaction.
Prior to the announcement, Drake did not confirm whether he was “in talks” or expected to headline the festival.
The two Canadian acts expected
Now, if Drake were to make an appearance at the California-based festival, it may be as a surprise performance alongside friend and producer Murda Beatz, who is returning to Coachella for his third time in the lineup.
Murda Beatz previously performed at the U.S. festival in 2019 and in 2025, where he played the Heineken House, an exclusive 21-and-older venue on the festival grounds.
The producer, whose real name is Shane Lee Lindstrom, was born in Fort Erie, Ont., before he built a major career working with hip-hop’s biggest names, like Drake, Cardi B, and Travis Scott.
