TEMS TO HEADLINE THE STAGE AT SXSW LONDON BY BILLBOARD

Tems is set to take center stage at The Stage during SXSW London, an electrifying addition to the global music festival’s UK edition. The two time Grammy-winning Nigerian singer-songwriter will headline Billboard’s specially curated showcase on Thursday, June 5, 2025.

SXSW (South by Southwest) has long been a cornerstone of music, film, and tech innovation, and its London expansion is shaping up to be a landmark event. With Tems leading the lineup, the festival is poised to spotlight African excellence on a global stage, reinforcing her status as a dominant force in contemporary R&B and Afrobeat.

This announcement follows an incredible run for Tems, who recently clinched another Grammy win and captivated audiences at the 67th Grammy Awards with her compelling acceptance speech. Known for her ethereal vocals, deeply introspective songwriting, and genre-blending sound, she has consistently proven herself as one of Africa’s most influential musical exports.

Tems’ performance at SXSW London will likely feature tracks from her highly anticipated debut album, which has been generating buzz for months. With her ability to captivate and mesmerize her fans with her silky and sonorous voice, coupled with her energetic charisma and charm, her set will most definitely be outstanding.

Beyond her headlining set, SXSW London promises to be a melting pot of global sounds, innovative collaborations, and emerging talent. With Billboard at the helm of The Stage, the event will be a major highlight of the festival, further amplifying Tems’ impact on the international music scene.

With her name already etched in the annals of global music history, Tems’ upcoming performance in London is yet another milestone in a career that continues to soar. London fans and festival-goers are in for an unforgettable night, as the Essence and “Love Me Jeje” hitmaker prepares to deliver a performance worthy of her legendary trajectory.
