Afrobeats superstar Davido is set to mark a career milestone as he makes his debut at the prestigious Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California next year.
Organisers confirmed the 2026 line-up on Tuesday, with Davido emerging as the only Nigerian artist billed to perform. The singer will take the stage on April 11 and April 18 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
The ‘With Me’ hitmaker will join an eclectic roster headlined by global pop sensations Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G. Other major names on the bill include Young Thug, Major Lazer, Teddy Swims, Giveon, Central Cee, and Swae Lee.
For Davido, the appearance signals another leap for Afrobeats on the world stage. The genre has already made waves at Coachella, with past appearances by Nigerian stars including Burna Boy, Wizkid, Tems, Seun Kuti, CKay, and Mr Eazi.
Reacting to the announcement, Davido celebrated his upcoming performance with fans on social media, promising to deliver a showcase of Afrobeats culture to one of the world’s most iconic festival stages.
Coachella, renowned for its global influence and star-studded performances, continues to serve as a cultural melting pot for the world’s biggest music acts. Davido’s inclusion further underscores the rise of African music as a dominant force in the international music scene.
