Nigerian Stars at Coachella in 2025 Rema continues his explosive ascent in the American music scene with his Coachella debut.
His performance is one of the most anticipated of the festival, since 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, when she and Wizkid and Justin Bieber captivated the crowd with their Essence (Remix) performance.
Experienced Coachella performer Seun Kuti will become the first Nigerian performer to play the festival three times.
His 2012 appearance signaled the start of Nigeria’s participation in the prestigious festival. World-renowned artists Lady Gaga, Post Malone, and Travis Scott will headline Coachella 2025, which is set over two weekends, April 11–13 and April 18–20.

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 blend of varied music, which fans around the world eagerly await.
