South Africa’s Tyla has made us so proud over the past few months. From breaking records to earning a Grammy nomination, we’re hardly surprised that she’s playing Coachella 2024!
Global (18 January 2024) — It’s been a whirlwind past few months for Joburg’s gem and South African breakout pop star, Tyla Seethal. From soaring to the summit of YouTube’s Music Charts to earning a Grammy nomination and even getting former US President Barack Obama’s playlist approval, the local songstress has surfed the wave from her hit ‘Water’ to the kinds of places and opportunities most musicians have only dreamt about. Cue Tyla’s latest big moment—making the Coachella 2024 roll call!
It’s a musical milestone for the artist who is only in her early twenties. In fact, it’s a milestone for any artist; one that Kyle Watson—who made home country very proud when he played Coachella 2023—described as “the pinnacle of all festivals”.
For the artist who takes almost every opportunity to flaunt her home city country, a spot to sing on on the coveted stage is just another reason artists and fans from the Free State to Jozi continue to look up to the singer.
And for SA’s music scene as a whole, this marks another year where South Africa takes space on the stage; a hugely promising outlook as our artists continue to break into bigger markets.
All in all, Tyla will share the stage with some of the world’s most popular and talented artists, including Lana Del Rey, Ice Spice, Tyler – The Creator, Dojo Cat, J Calvin, Jhené Aino and Skepta amongst a constellation of other stars.

Her dream of becoming the first global South African pop star continues steadily, and we’re rooting for her all the way.
