Ayra Starr announces inclusion in Coachella 2027 festival
Nigerian singer, Oyinkansola Aderibigbe, otherwise called Ayra Starr, has announced her inclusion in the lineup for the 2027 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California, United States.
The singer shared the festival’s official lineup poster on her Instagram page, with the caption, “See you in the desert,” confirming her scheduled appearance at the annual international music fiesta.
According to the lineup, Ayra Starr is billed to perform on April 11 and April 18, 2027, during the festival’s two-weekend programme.
She will perform on the Sunday programme alongside American singer SZA, Don Toliver, Becky G, Jorja Smith, Victoria Monét and South Korean girl group BABYMONSTER.
Other major artistes listed for the festival include British singer Dua Lipa, American singer Madonna, Australian music project Tame Impala, Phoebe Bridgers and Daddy Yankee.
The 2027 edition of the festival will be held from April 9 to 11 and April 16 to 18 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival was first held in October 1999, organised by American concert promoter Goldenvoice.
The festival, which initially featured rock, alternative, hip-hop and electronic music performances, has evolved into one of the world’s prominent music and arts events, featuring artistes across different genres as well as large-scale art installations.
After a break in 2000, the festival returned in 2001 and later expanded into a two-weekend event in 2012, with both weekends featuring the same lineup.
Over the years, Afrobeats stars that have performed at the festival include Seun Kuti, Burna Boy, Davido, Rema, Fireboy DML, Tems, Teni and Adekunle, among others.
Ayra Starr’s scheduled appearance adds to the growing presence of Nigerian artistes at major international music festivals and provides another platform for the country’s contemporary music to reach global audiences.
