Seun Kuti Lights Up Coachella 2025 with Electrifying Afrobeat Set

Renowned Afrobeat artist Seun Kuti delivered a powerful performance at the 2025 edition of Coachella, one of the world’s biggest music festivals.

Known for its global appeal, Coachella draws thousands of music lovers annually to experience top-tier performances from international stars. Seun Kuti, who made history in 2012 as the first Nigerian artist to perform at the festival, returned this year with his legendary band, Egypt 80.

The Grammy-nominated musician opened the festival with a headlining performance, setting the tone ahead of pop icon Lady Gaga’s set. This marks Seun Kuti’s third appearance at Coachella, making him the Nigerian artist with the highest number of performances at the festival to date.

Other Nigerian artists who have performed on the iconic stage include Burna Boy, Wizkid, Tems, Fireboy, Ckay, and DJ Spinall. Rising star Rema is also expected to take the stage this year.
