Davido is officially the sole Nigerian artist featured in Coachella 2026’s highly anticipated lineup.
The festival, scheduled for April 10-12 and April 17-19 in Indio, California, positions the Afrobeats superstar alongside major headliners Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G, and Anyma.
Davido will take the stage on April 11 and April 18, marking his first official Coachella performance as a sub-headliner.
This milestone represents a significant shift, particularly given the absence of other African artists in the 2026 roster.
Previous years featured multiple Nigerian performers, including Burna Boy (2019, 2023), Wizkid (2024), and Rema (2025).
Davido’s Coachella debut would be a pivotal moment in his career, creating a huge potential for amplifying both his career trajectory and Afrobeats’ global influence.
Davido’s proven catalog of hits, including the internationally acclaimed “Fall,” positions him to deliver high-energy performances that blend Afro-pop rhythms with festival-ready energy.
Social media is buzzing, hailing Davido’s historic entry into the world’s most popular music festival.
