South African pop and amapiano sensation Tyla will finally make her mark on the Coachella stage in 2025.
After withdrawing in 2024 due to injury, the Water hitmaker is back and ready to join the festival’s star-studded line-up.
COACHELLA PERFORMERS
Coachella, the globally renowned music and arts festival, will run over two weekends on the 11-13 to 18-20 in April at its iconic California desert venue.
This year’s headliners are Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Post Malone, promising electrifying performances, according to Billboard.
Travis Scott is also set to make a special appearance, marking his first Coachella performance since the pandemic-cancelled 2020 festival.
TYLA’S COACHELLA DEBUT
Joining them are iconic acts like Missy Elliott, Megan Thee Stallion, and Charli XCX. Tyla’s inclusion adds a fresh wave of South African pride to the mix, according to Jacaranda FM.
For Tyla, this Coachella debut is more than a performance; it’s a statement.
Known for blending amapiano with pop and R&B, she has introduced the world to South Africa’s vibrant soundscape.
TYLA’S MUSICAL JOURNEY
Reflecting on her global journey, Tyla once shared, “It fills me with pride when I tell everyone that I’m part of this movement called amapiano.”
Her unique sound and powerful stage presence make her an ideal fit for Coachella’s diverse line-up.
Fans back home are thrilled about her comeback.
TYLA FANS REACT TO THE ANNOUNCEMENT
Social media buzzed with excitement following the announcement. A fan tweeted, “She’s back where she belongs. This time, she’ll take over!”
Another added, “Mzansi will be rooting for her every step of the way.”
With amapiano gaining traction internationally, Tyla’s performance could amplify the genre’s global appeal.
COACHELLA 2025 LINE-UP
Coachella 2025’s eclectic line-up also includes Brazilian pop star Anitta, the LA Philharmonic led by Gustavo Dudamel, and electronic pioneers Kraftwerk, according to Rolling Stone.
The festival is famous for drawing fans from all over the globe. This offers Tyla a golden opportunity to showcase South Africa’s music culture on a massive scale.
She will perform alongside legends, but her ability to captivate audiences with hits like Water ensures she will leave a lasting impression.
ARTISTRY AND RESILIENCE
2024’s Coachella featured megastars like Lana Del Rey and Tyler, the Creator, with Taylor Swift making headlines simply by attending.
