The announcement cements Davido’s growing global status, as he joins an A-list roster of international acts performing across two weekends at California’s Empire Polo Club in Indio.

Davido will take the stage on Day 2, performing alongside headliner Justin Bieber, The Strokes, Giveon, Labrinth, Addison Rae, Taemin, and more. The festival will run from April 10–12 and April 17–19, 2026.

This year’s headliners are Sabrina Carpenter (Day 1), Justin Bieber (Day 2) and Karol G (Day 3). Other big names include Iggy Pop, Nine Inch Nails, Disclosure, FKA twigs, Young Thug, and Major Lazer.

Davido’s inclusion is a major moment for Afrobeats, positioning the genre on one of the world’s most prominent music stages.

The Coachella line-up features over 150 artists from various genres, with the festival once again expected to draw over 250,000 fans across both weekends.

Davido is scheduled to perform on the same day as artists such as Interpol, PinkPantheress, Alex G, Solomun, Fujii Kaze, and Brazilian pop sensation Luísa Sonza.

Meanwhile, Day 1 highlights include Sabrina Carpenter, The xx, Central Cee, and Disclosure, while Day 3 will close with performances from Karol G, Young Thug, FKA twigs, BIGBANG, and Armin van Buuren.

Davido’s performance will be a significant cultural highlight for the African music community and fans worldwide, and is expected to feature live renditions of his global hits, from Fall to Unavailable.
