Global Afrobeats star Davido is officially billed to perform at the 2026 edition of Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
The festival, scheduled to take place across two weekends, April 10–12 and April 17–19 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, will feature Davido as part of a diverse global lineup. His appearance confirms his first official performance at Coachella, one of the world’s most influential music festivals.
Davido’s inclusion on the 2026 lineup represents a long-anticipated debut on the Coachella stage. Over the years, the singer has built a strong global presence with hit records and international collaborations, making this booking a natural progression in his career.
