Davido returned to the Gobi Stage for Coachella Weekend 2 on April 18, 2026, delivering a 45-minute set that continued the momentum from his historic Weekend 1 appearance. As reported previously, he became the only Nigerian and Afrobeats artist on the official main lineup for Weekend 1, where he opened with early-career hits, performed material from 5IVE and brought out Adekunle Gold for “High”.For Weekend 2 (7:50–8:35pm slot), the 001 General maintained the same high-energy blueprint: live band, fire effects and wall-to-wall crowd response. Hits including “If”, “With You” and “Dami Duro” kept the tent packed. Davido had posted after Weekend 1: “OBOCHELLA WEEK 1. WE BROUGHT CULTURE TO THE FOREFRONT THANK YOU FOR ROCKING WITH US SEE YOU NEXT WEEK AT WEEK 2.”Backstage photos and videos also showed him linking up with South African star Tyla, sparking positive reactions about the pan-African moment. The full set reinforced Davido’s position as a major festival draw.
