Afrobeat Giants, Wizkid & Tems Join Justin Bieber to Perform “Essence” on Coachella Main Stage
Justin Bieber is the main headliner for Coachella 2026 and as such delivered a rather powerful performance. During his Coachella set, the artist surprises fans as he brings out two Nigerian stars, Wizkid and Tems, to perform their hit single ‘Essence.’ This making them the first set of African artistes to ever perform on the mainstage.
Originally released by Wizkid featuring Tems, Essence became a global sensation before Justin Bieber joined the remix, helping push the track to even greater international success.
Tems joined Bieber on the stage first and the moment Wizkid stepped out, the crowd lost it, it became clear this wasn’t just another performance. As the song played, the entire crowd sang along like it meant something to them, and you could feel the energy through the videos already making rounds online. It didn’t feel forced or overhyped.
The clips circulating from the festival has since gone viral with many fans in high spirits to see the three superstars performing the song again on stage. The three artists sharing the stage at one of the world’s biggest music festivals has been described by fans as a proud moment for Afrobeats and its growing global influence.
