Burna Boy sparked a sensation when his name was revealed on the schedule, in 2020, but was written in small characters, and Coachella, which has previously hosted African artists on their stage, earned more fame in Nigeria.

2023 Coachella will be headlined by Puetorican megastar Bad Bunny, K-pop girl group Blackpink, and American R&B artist Frank Ocean.

Major artists joining the headliners are Gorillaz, Rosalía, Gorillaz, Björk, Charli XCX, Alex G, and Gorilla. Other notable acts on the Coachella lineup include Boygenius, Christine and the Queens, the Breeders, Noname, Soul Glo, Weyes Blood, Yaeji, Willow, Yung Lean, Yves Tumor, the Comet Is Coming, Snail Mail, Saba, Romy (of the xx), Muna, Metro Boomin, Latto, Idris Elba, Kali Uchis, Ethel Cain, and EarthGang.

Coachella 2022 marked the first time the festival ever took a break between years, due to the postponement and eventual cancellation of the planned 2020 event.

The Grammy-winner is the only Nigerian artist in the lineup as he continues to lead the global exportation of Afrobeats. With the international appeal of ‘Last Last’ and Burna Boy’s growing fame, his 2023 Coachella performance can be expected to be a remarkable one.
