Rema, Tems, Seun Kuti to Perform at 2025 Coachella Festival
Nigeria will be well represented at the 2025 edition of Coachella, one of the most iconic music festivals in the world. The highly anticipated event, scheduled to take place from April 11-20, will feature a star-studded lineup, with over 100 artists performing across the three-day festival. Among the prominent Nigerian artists set to grace the stage are superstars Tems, Rema, and Afrobeat legend Seun Kuti.
Tems, who performed at the 2024 Coachella alongside Wizkid and Justin Bieber for a memorable rendition of their hit collaboration ‘Essence,’ will return to the stage to continue her rise in global music. Seun Kuti, known for his powerful Afrobeat performances, will be making history with his third appearance at Coachella, a record that solidifies his position as the Nigerian artist with the most Coachella performances. In 2012, he made history by becoming the first Nigerian artist to perform at the festival.
Rema, who will be making his Coachella debut, is riding high on his record-breaking success, particularly in the United States. His hit song “Calm Down” continues to set new records, including being the most streamed song by a Nigerian artist and holding the highest chart position for a Nigerian artist in history.
The Nigerian trio will be sharing the stage with other global superstars such as Lady Gaga, Post Malone, and Travis Scott, who have been announced as headliners for the event. The 2025 Coachella promises to be a landmark event, showcasing not only the growing influence of Nigerian music on the global stage but also the continued rise of Afrobeat as a dominant genre in international music.
With this stellar lineup, the 2025 Coachella is set to be a memorable celebration of music, culture, and global talent.
