According to Wave RBC.UA, he will perform in the Friday program alongside Dua Lipa, Madonna, Peggy Gou, and other artists. For the musician, whose career spans nearly six decades, appearing in the lineup of a major electronic and pop music festival is a notable event confirming that he remains a part of the modern scene. ### Festival Lineup and Format Coachella 2027 will take place in April 2027 in Indio, California, and, like in previous years, will be split into two weekends — April 9–11 and April 16–18. Organizers have already published the full list of participants for the upcoming event, and Moroder's name stands out among younger and mid-career artists: he is one of the few representatives of the "golden" generation of electronic music who continues to personally perform on large stages. ### A DJ Career That Started at 73 Moroder's story goes beyond the traditional framework of a musical biography. Although he became famous back in the 1970s as a producer and composer, he only began performing as a DJ at the age of 73. Decades after creating his most famous compositions, he did not retire; instead, he expanded his performance format and continues to work at major venues — his performance at Coachella will be another testament to this late yet active phase of his career. ### "I Feel Love" and the Synthesizer Revolution Moroder secured his place in music history partly through his work with American singer Donna Summer. In 1977, he produced the track "I Feel Love," built almost entirely on synthesizer sounds. The track became one of the defining works of electronic dance music and significantly influenced the development of disco, house, and techno, setting the sound for an entire genre for decades to come. ### Hollywood and Three Oscars The composer's film career was equally successful, earning him three Academy Awards for film scores. Among his most famous works are soundtracks and songs for the films "Midnight Express," "Flashdance," and "Top Gun." These projects made his name recognizable far beyond club and studio audiences and cemented his status as one of the key creators of late 20th-century cinematic music. ### A Legacy That Keeps Playing Moroder's work has influenced multiple generations of electronic musicians. Notably, the French duo Daft Punk dedicated a separate track to him, "Giorgio by Moroder," featured on the album Random Access Memories and earning the group several Grammy Awards. His performance at Coachella 2027, taking place nearly 50 years after the release of "I Feel Love," will be another landmark episode in the career of a musician who remains an active part of the global electronic scene half a century later. ## Fact-Check & Sources - [Джорджо Мородер выступит на Coachella-2027 вместе с Мадонной и Дуа Липой](https://wave.rbc.ua/ukr/culture/dzhordzho-moroder-vistupit-coachella-2027-1794473067.html) - Primary source: confirms Moroder's participation in the Friday program of Coachella 2027, the lineup (Dua Lipa, Madonna, Peggy Gou), dates (April 9–11 and April 16–18, 2027, Indio), starting his DJ career at 73, work with Donna Summer, three Oscars, and the Daft Punk tribute. - [Танцевальный гуру Джорджо Мородер вернулся 30 лет спустя со своим Déjà Vu](https://www.m24.ru/articles/30062015/77748) - Used only as biographical context: indicates the birth year 1940 (in a 2015 article — "75 years ago"), which aligns with being 86 years old in 2026.
