The Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, will host more than 100 artists as part of the much-anticipated 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival lineup.
Afrobeat heavyweights Rema, Tems, and Seun Kuti are among the Nigerian celebrities who will be performing, marking yet another significant milestone for African music on the international scene.
Nigerian Stars at 2025 Coachella
- Rema, making his Coachella debut, continues his meteoric rise in the U.S. music scene. His performance is one of the most anticipated of the festival, as his song “Calm Down” has become the most streamed and the highest-charting single by a Nigerian artist in the United States.
- Tems will take the stage again after an incredible performance at the 2024 Coachella, where she and Wizkid and Justin Bieber wowed the crowd with their Essence (Remix) performance.
- Seun Kuti, a veteran of the Coachella stage, will make history as the first Nigerian artist to perform at the festival three times. His debut in 2012 marked the beginning of Nigerian representation at the world-renowned festival.
Star-studded lineup
Global superstars Lady Gaga, Post Malone, and Travis Scott will headline Coachella 2025, which is set for two weekends, April 11–13 and April 18–20. The festival is a cultural melting pot for music lovers and draws thousands of fans annually thanks to its lively fusion of art and music.
The fact that Nigeria is represented this year shows how popular Afrobeat is becoming around the world and how well it can compete with other popular international genres. Coachella has become synonymous with a fusion of diverse sounds, which fans around the world eagerly await.
