The much-anticipated lineup for the 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has been revealed, showcasing over 100 artists who will perform at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
Among the Nigerian artists featured are Afrobeat stars Rema, Tems, and Seun Kuti, marking another significant achievement for African music on the global stage.
Rema, making his Coachella debut, is continuing his rapid ascent in the U.S. music scene. His hit song Calm Down has broken records, becoming the most-streamed track and highest-charting single by a Nigerian artist in the U.S., making his performance one of the festival’s most eagerly awaited.
Tems, who delivered an unforgettable performance at the 2024 Coachella alongside Wizkid and Justin Bieber for the Essence (Remix), will return to the stage for another remarkable show.
Seun Kuti, a Coachella veteran, will make history as the first Nigerian artist to perform at the festival three times. His first appearance in 2012 paved the way for greater Nigerian representation at the iconic festival.
Coachella 2025, set for two weekends—April 11–13 and April 18–20—will feature headliners Lady Gaga, Post Malone, and Travis Scott. Known for its vibrant mix of music and art, the festival continues to draw thousands of fans each year, cementing its status as a cultural hotspot for music lovers.
This year’s strong Nigerian presence highlights the growing global influence of Afrobeat, showcasing its ability to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with mainstream international music genres. Fans across the globe eagerly anticipate the unique blend of diverse sounds that Coachella is known for.
