Rema makes rousing return to Coachella stage after earlier hiccups

One of the most famous music festivals globally, Coachella annually attracts thousands of people who gather at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, to see some of the world's most famous artists perform.

After initial technical challenges that stopped his first appearance, Grammy-nominated star Rema returned to the Coachella stage for his second weekend outing.

The hitmaker who holds the record for the most-streamed song and the highest charting song for a Nigerian artist on the Billboard Hot 100 dazzled the audience with a rendition of his hit records.

Rema thrilled fans with a performance of his party starters 'Bounce,' 'Ozeba,' 'Azaman,' and his record-making song 'Calm Down'.

Rema's performance comes after Afrobeat icon Seun Kuti and his Egypt 80 band dazzled fans with an exciting performance last week.

The Grammy-nominated star performed on the opening day, headlined by Grammy-winning pop music icon Lady Gaga.

The 2025 edition lineup features over 100 artists, including headline performances from American rock band Green Day. Their 1991 album, 'Kerplunk', is one of the bestselling independent albums of all time, selling over 4.5 million copies worldwide.

Headlining the third day is the superstar Post Malone, who boasts of the most RIAA diamond-certified songs in history.

Seun Kuti's performance at the 2025 edition is his third time gracing the stage, thus making him the Nigerian artist with the most Coachella appearances. He also made history in 2012 by becoming the first Nigerian to grace the stage.

Other Nigerian artists who have previously performed at Coachella include Burna Boy, CKay, Spinall, Fireboy, and Tems, who performed at the 2024 edition, where she was joined on stage by Wizkid and Justin Bieber for a rendition of their smash collaboration 'Essence' remix.
