Burna Boy reportedly gets paid N577 million for performing at 2023 Coachella.
According to reports, Damini Ogulu, better known as Burna Boy, received $750,000 (N577.5m) for his performance at the 2023 Coachella festival, which took place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
The event was scheduled to take place over two weekends beginning on April 14 and ending on April 16, 2023.
According to the booking fee for artists, Burna Boy earned $750k after entertaining the audience for 50 minutes on Friday, April 14.
According to business journalist @TrungTPhan, the headliner was reportedly paid $4 million together with other musicians in the first row on the programme of artists to perform. A lower sum was set aside for individuals on the second row, where Burna Boy was named.
“Headlining the show is great for many superstar artists, but at the highest heights there’s a tradeoff. In recent years, the headliners get $4 million per weekend (but I heard from a source that Bad Bunny got $5 million). The artist on the second row got $750,000 per weekend.
That’s a great payday, even for an artist selling out arenas. But for an artist like Taylor Swift, who can likely gross $10 million per night on her own stadium tour, then she may be leaving money on the table. This is where the Coachella documentary deals play a factor. Beyonce was rumored to be paid $20 million for the Homecoming documentary on her 2018 show, which made the experience worthwhile for her (and the Beyhive).”
It's apparently a big drop-off from the 2nd row. The Details from a great Trapital breakdown — via @RuncieDan — on the business of Coachella.

During the 2019 Coachella, when the lineup poster was revealed, Burna Boy, who was scheduled to perform at the event, expressed his discontent with the size of his name on the poster.
He returned to Coachella two years later as a much bigger musician with greater global exposure.
