Davido makes long-awaited Coachella debut amid surprise Wizkid and Tems appearance

Davido performs his first Coachella set at the Gobi Stage, while Wizkid and Tems join Justin Bieber in a surprise moment that stole attention.

Davido made his long-awaited Coachella debut with a 45-minute set on the Gobi Stage, performing major hits and bringing out Adekunle Gold.

Wizkid and Tems later surprised fans by joining Justin Bieber on the main stage for the ‘Essence’ remix.

Despite the buzz, Davido was the only Nigerian artist officially billed on the 2026 lineup, marking a dip in representation.

The moment adds to a growing history of Nigerian acts at Coachella, with Davido set to return for a second weekend performance.

Davido performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival for the first time on Saturday, April 11, delivering a 45-minute set at the Gobi Stage in Indio, California.

The same night, Wizkid and Tems joined Justin Bieber on the main stage, making it a notable, if complicated, evening for Nigerian music at the festival.

Davido took the stage from 7:50 to 8:35 p.m., opening with ‘Dami Duro’ and working through a catalogue of hits backed by dancers and a live band. He also brought out Adekunle Gold for a medley that included ‘High.’ The set also included ‘If,’ ‘Skelewu,’ and ‘With You,’ among others.
