No Na Set to Become First Indonesian Girl Group to Perform at Coachella in 2027

Two April dates mark a first for Indonesian pop

No Na, the Indonesian group whose four members debuted under 88rising in May 2025, is scheduled to become the first Indonesian girl group to perform at Coachella. Christy, Esther, Baila and Shazfa will appear on Saturday, April 10 and April 17, 2027, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.

Goldenvoice announced the festival lineup on November 11, 2026. No Na joins a Saturday bill led by Tame Impala, with Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, Robyn, Tiësto, Martin Garrix and NCT also among the acts scheduled that day. Their booking comes less than two years after the release of their debut single, "shoot", on May 2, 2025.

The appearance brings a new kind of Indonesian representation to the festival. Rich Brian, NIKI and Warren Hue performed in 2022, while singer Dougy Mandagi is also among the Indonesian musicians who have appeared at Coachella. No Na's place in that history is specifically as an Indonesian girl group.

For the quartet, the booking follows a year in which they released "honk!", drawing on Indonesia's "Om Telolet Om" horn culture, and their debut album, "island girl". Their Coachella appearance will put that developing musical identity before a festival audience drawn from many countries and musical tastes.

From training in Los Angeles to the festival lineup

No Na formed in Los Angeles and trained for two to three years before making their debut. The four members entered public view as a group with "shoot", released through 88rising, the music company behind their debut album as well.

Their name draws on "nona", an Indonesian word used to address a young woman. Indonesian identity has remained part of the group's presentation even as its members have built their career from the United States. That connection gives the Coachella announcement meaning beyond the addition of another pop act to a large festival.

No Na shared the news through their Instagram account, @nonawav, in collaboration with 88rising, and reshared the festival announcement. Members of their fan community, known as Orchid, responded with celebratory comments.

The group addressed fans in its announcement with a short invitation:

see you in the desert

The desert reference points to Coachella's location in Southern California. For fans who have followed the quartet since its debut, the two April performances will be the next major dates in a career that has moved quickly from a first single to a full album and an international festival booking.

Indonesian references travel with the music

No Na's 2026 single "honk!" incorporated horn sounds and references to "Om Telolet Om", an Indonesian expression associated with asking drivers to sound their distinctive vehicle horns. The phrase roughly asks a driver to honk, with "telolet" imitating the sound.

That reference gives listeners something specific to connect with. Indonesian audiences may recognise a familiar piece of popular culture, while listeners elsewhere can encounter it through the rhythm and sound of a pop song. It is one concrete example of how the group has brought Indonesian references into its releases.

The debut album "island girl" followed on September 18, 2026, through 88rising. By the time No Na reaches Coachella in April, the group will have an album, rather than just its debut single, behind it. The announcement did not give a setlist, stage assignment or performance time for either weekend.

The dates behind No Na's rapid rise

The route to Coachella stretches across several distinct steps: training, a debut single, further releases and then the festival announcement. The dates show how closely the group's first album and its Coachella booking followed each other.

  • May 2, 2025: No Na releases its debut single, "shoot", through 88rising after two to three years of training.
  • During 2026: The group releases "honk!", incorporating horn sounds and references to "Om Telolet Om".
  • September 18, 2026: Debut album "island girl" is released through 88rising.
  • November 11, 2026: Goldenvoice announces the Coachella 2027 lineup, including No Na.
  • November 13, 2026: Festival passes are scheduled to go on sale at noon Pacific Time.
  • April 10 and April 17, 2027: No Na is scheduled to perform on the Saturdays of both festival weekends.

The April dates place the performances just short of the second anniversary of "shoot". The longer period of preparation happened before that release, when the members spent years training before introducing the group to listeners.

What the Saturday booking means

Tame Impala headlines both Saturdays, putting No Na on a daily bill that spans pop, rock and electronic music. Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, Robyn, Måneskin, Enigma and Underworld are among the other scheduled performers, alongside dance acts including Tiësto and Martin Garrix.

A headliner is the act given top billing for a particular day. The rest of the daily lineup includes artists performing across the festival's stages. No Na and Tame Impala are booked for the same days, with each act presenting its own performance.

Tame Impala brings a much longer Coachella history to those Saturdays. The Australian act first performed at the festival in 2011, returned in 2013 and 2015, and first headlined in 2019. The 2027 booking will be its second appearance as a headliner.

No Na arrives at the other end of that experience scale, making its festival debut. The shared daily schedule places an emerging Indonesian group alongside artists with established festival audiences, creating an opportunity to reach people who may initially have bought tickets for someone else.

A larger lineup with Asian acts across all three days

Coachella's 2027 poster lists 156 acts, compared with 137 the previous year. That is an increase of 19, or about 14 percent. No Na is therefore joining a larger advertised lineup than the one presented for 2026.

Asian performers are scheduled throughout both weekends. BLACKPINK member Jisoo appears on Fridays, April 9 and April 16. NCT is listed for Saturdays, April 10 and April 17, while BABYMONSTER is scheduled for Sundays, April 11 and April 18. Korean band Leenalchi also appears on the Friday bill.

Leenalchi's music combines pop with pansori, a Korean tradition of musical storytelling through singing. The range from that style to idol groups and No Na's Indonesian pop gives audiences several different ways to encounter Asian music across the festival.

BTS is absent from the announced lineup. Speculation about a possible appearance had followed Goldenvoice chief executive Paul Tollett's visit to Seoul to watch the group's comeback performance at Gwanghwamun Square. The announced bookings instead place Jisoo, NCT and BABYMONSTER among the Korean acts appearing across the three days.

Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA lead the weekends

Dua Lipa will headline Friday, Tame Impala Saturday and SZA Sunday. The festival runs April 9 to April 11 and April 16 to April 18, with the same artists returning for the second weekend. Fans attending either weekend will therefore have a scheduled opportunity to see No Na.

Dua Lipa's booking will be her first full Coachella performance and her first time headlining. She previously appeared as a guest in 2017, joining Martin Garrix for "Scared to Be Lonely" before the release of her debut album.

Madonna is also scheduled to return to the dance tent, revisiting a part of the festival associated with her 2006 performance. Her booking follows a surprise appearance during Sabrina Carpenter's set at the 2026 edition. Other names on the 2027 bill include Zara Larsson, Steve Lacy, Don Toliver, Dom Dolla, Kygo and Daddy Yankee.

The new headliners follow Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber and Karol G, who led the 2026 festival. Within that change at the top of the poster, No Na's debut adds a separate milestone further down the bill: the first scheduled Coachella appearance by an Indonesian girl group.

Tickets and viewing plans for fans

Festival passes are scheduled to go on sale Friday, November 13, at noon Pacific Time. Hotel packages for both weekends are also being offered, combining festival admission with local accommodation and transportation.

Fans following from Indonesia can also watch Coachella through YouTube. The platform will be the festival's exclusive livestream partner for the 15th year, broadcasting key sets across both weekends. Anyone planning around No Na's appearance will need to account for the time difference between California and Indonesia when the detailed broadcast and performance schedules are released.

The immediate dates to watch are the November ticket sale and the two Saturday performances in April. For No Na, those performances will bring together the group's training, its first album and the Indonesian references already woven into its music, in front of a new festival audience.
