Following her performance, Tems expressed her gratitude and excitement, describing the experience as “amazing.” This performance comes at the start of a successful 2025 for Tems, who recently won her second Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance for her song “Love Me Jeje” at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

Tems has also recently achieved another milestone, becoming the first African female artist to feature on a song that has surpassed one billion streams on Spotify, thanks to her collaboration on Future’s global hit, “Wait For U.” This achievement places her alongside Wizkid and Rema as Nigerian artists featured on billion-stream Spotify tracks.

Davido Set to Make Historic Coachella Debut in 2026 Davido is set to make his long-awaited debut at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2026, a booking that places one of Afrobeats’ most commercially dominant figures on one of the world’s most visible stages. Davido will take the stage on both Saturdays of the 2026 edition, April 11 and April 18, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, becoming the only Nigerian artist and the sole dedicated Afrobeats representative on this year’s global lineup. Davido appears as part of a stacked global lineup headlined by Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, and Karol G. This milestone marks a significant leap for Davido and the entire Afrobeats movement. Fresh off his high-energy 5IVE Alive Tour across North America, the 33-year-old hitmaker is set to bring his signature blend of infectious rhythms, anthemic choruses, and electrifying stage presence to the desert. For an artist whose international run has steadily translated from streaming dominance to sold-out arenas, Coachella represents both a symbolic and strategic checkpoint, continuously serving as a cultural placement within a festival that has historically dictated global pop visibility. Davido’s inclusion also continues a broader shift in how African music is absorbed into global circuits. Where Afrobeats once occupied novelty slots, it now commands consistent presence, with artists entering lineups not as outliers but as essential contributors to the festival’s sonic diversity. Years after a previously anticipated Coachella appearance failed to materialize, Davido arrives at a time when both his catalogue and the genre he represents carry undeniable global weight. The stage is no longer a breakthrough moment; it’s a reflection of a status already earned. With the festival weekends fast approaching (April 10–12 and 17–19, 2026), all eyes will be on the desert to see whether Davido delivers the kind of unforgettable, high-octane set that could further cement Afrobeats as a dominant force in global pop culture.

Since her international breakthrough in 2020 with Wizkid’s “Essence,” Tems has ascended to global stardom, collaborating with music icons like Beyoncé and Drake. She also made history as the first Nigerian to receive an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song for co-writing “Lift Me Up” for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” performed by Rihanna.  Adding to her accolades, Tems is among the leading nominees for the upcoming 17th Headies Awards, with six nominations including Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Artist of the Year.
