Seun Kuti, Black Coffee to play Coachella

The line-up will feature more than 170 artists and will be headlined by Rage Against the Machine, Travis Scott and Frank Ocean. African and diaspora artists at this year's Coachella are Aya Nakamura (Mali/France), Black Coffee (South Africa), Kyle Watson (South Africa), Sampa the Great (Zambia/Australia) and Dave (Nigeria/UK).

The annual event will take place over two consecutive weekends: 10-12 April and 17-19 April.

Seun Kuti, who will perform on 12 and 19 April, shared an image of the line-up on social media with a clip of his performance in 2012 when he became the first Nigerian artist to perform at Coachella.

“We are going going back back to Cali Cali!! Swipe left for the atmosphere the last time we were there eight years ago,” he wrote.

Multiple award-winning South African DJ Black Coffee will play Coachella again after performing at the festival in 2018. His mixes are regular at international festivals, as he has stamped his authority as one of the most sought-after house DJs in the world. He will be joined on the line-up by fellow South African DJ Kyle Watson.
