2027 festival guide
Popular Music Festivals in the Coachella Valley
From jazz in February to pool parties in August, the desert keeps a full music calendar. Here are the 2027 festivals, with dates, venues and links to each official site.
Music all year
April gets the headlines, but the music keeps going
The valley’s best-known festival weekends happen in April, yet there’s something on stage from winter into fall: jazz in Palm Springs theaters, soul and Latin nights at the Cathedral City Amphitheater, a free mariachi celebration in the City of Coachella and pool parties in the August heat.
Dates come from each organizer’s announcements as of November 2026. Festivals marked “2027 dates not announced yet” usually return around the same time each year, so check the official site before you book travel.
