Nigerian singer Ayra Starr has been announced as one of the performers at the 2027 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, joining an international lineup led by American singers SZA and Dua Lipa and Australian music project Tame Impala.

The Mavin Records artist is listed on the Sunday bill for both weekends, April 11 and 18, alongside SZA, who will headline the day. Other performers on the same bill include Don Toliver, Becky G, Jorja Smith, Victoria Monét, Kygo, BABYMONSTER, Empire of the Sun, and Daddy Yankee.

The 2027 edition will take place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, from April 9 to 11 and April 16 to 18. Dua Lipa will headline the Friday program, while Tame Impala takes the Saturday slot. Madonna, Steve Lacy, Zara Larsson, Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, and Martin Garrix are among the other artists on the festival's wider lineup.

Ayra Starr, whose real name is Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, joined Mavin Records in 2021 after gaining attention through her music on social media. She released her self-titled debut EP that year before following it with her first studio album, 19 & Dangerous.
Her 2022 single “Rush” became her international breakthrough, earning a nomination for Best African Music Performance at the 66th Grammy Awards in 2024. She received a second nomination in the category for “Gimme Dat,” her collaboration with Wizkid, at the 68th Grammy Awards.

In August 2026, she released her third studio album, Starrgirl, through Mavin Records and Republic Records. The 16-track project features collaborations with Rema, Wizkid, Zayn, Leon Thomas, and Theodora. It debuted at No. 2 on Spotify's Global Top Albums Chart, recording 3.9 million streams on its first full day, according to Live Nation.

Her Coachella booking comes as she prepares for the international Starrgirl World Tour, a 20-city concert run across Europe and North America.
