South African sensation Tyla is officially heading to Coachella 2025, and fans couldn’t be more excited. The 22-year-old global rising star is set to perform across both weekends of the iconic Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival—April 11–13 and April 18–20—in Indio, California.
Tyla’s inclusion in the 2025 lineup marks a significant milestone in her skyrocketing career. Known for her genre-blending sound that fuses pop, R&B, and Amapiano, Tyla is set to share the stage with some of the world’s biggest artists, including Travis Scott, Lady Gaga, Green Day, Missy Elliott, Megan Thee Stallion, and Charli XCX.
This performance is particularly special for Tyla and her fans. In 2024, she was originally scheduled to grace the Coachella stage but was forced to withdraw due to a medical issue that also led to the cancellation of her North American tour. At the time, Tyla shared her disappointment online but left fans with a powerful promise—that her first time at Coachella would be as a performer, not just an attendee. Fast-forward a year later, and she’s fulfilling that promise in full force.
Her appearance on one of the world’s biggest festival stages is not only a personal win but also a triumph for South African music. Tyla has been a proud ambassador for Amapiano, frequently taking to award stages and interviews to set the record straight—her sound is not Afrobeats; it is proudly South African.
Her viral hit “Water” and chart-topping debut album have made waves internationally, earning her awards, chart placements, and now, a spot at one of the most prestigious music festivals on the planet.
Tyla’s performance at Coachella is expected to be a high-energy, genre-defying celebration of African music, and it will undoubtedly introduce her sound to an even broader global audience.
Fans are already buzzing online, speculating about her setlist, special guests, and stage design. One thing is certain—Tyla’s Coachella debut is set to be one of the most talked-about performances of the festival.
