Coachella 2025 is poised to showcase the unstoppable rise of Nigerian talent, with two of the country’s biggest stars—Rema and Seun Kuti—slated to take the stage at the iconic festival.

Every year, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival draws thousands of music lovers from around the world to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. The 2025 edition promises to be another unforgettable experience, with over 100 artists featured across three electrifying days. For Nigerian music fans, the spotlight will shine brighter than ever, as Afrobeat legend Seun Kuti and global sensation Rema represent the nation’s rich musical heritage on one of the world’s most prestigious stages.

Seun Kuti, the son of the legendary Fela Kuti, will make history with his record-breaking third performance at Coachella. Having first made his mark in 2012 as the first Nigerian artist to perform at the festival, Seun returns in 2025 as the Nigerian artist with the most Coachella appearances. His return promises to be a spectacular celebration of Afrobeat and his family’s musical legacy.

Joining him on stage will be Rema, who is set to make his highly anticipated Coachella debut. The fast-rising star continues to break barriers in the United States, where his hit songs have not only shattered streaming records but also made him the first Nigerian artist to achieve the highest-ever chart placement on the Billboard Hot 100. His performance at Coachella will undoubtedly mark a new chapter in his extraordinary journey.

The festival, which will take place from April 11 to 20, 2025, will be headlined by global superstars Lady Gaga, Post Malone, and Travis Scott. Rema and Seun Kuti will join these iconic acts, adding their unmistakable Afrobeat flavor to the lineup.

Nigeria’s influence at Coachella has grown exponentially over the years. Other Nigerian artists like Burna Boy, CKay, DJ Spinall, Fireboy, and Tems have all graced the stage in recent years. Tems, who performed at the 2024 edition, made headlines when she was joined by Wizkid and Justin Bieber for an unforgettable rendition of their global smash “Essence.”

With Rema and Seun Kuti leading the charge in 2025, Nigerian music will continue to command international attention, further cementing the country’s status as a global powerhouse in the world of music.
