Tiwa Savage makes history as the first Nigerian artiste to perform at the coronation of a British Monarch

The world is about to see the first British coronation in 70 years and Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage is set to be the first and only Nigerian artiste at the event.

The coronation ceremony that will formalize King Charles III’s transformation from history’s longest-reigning Prince of Wales into king of the United Kingdom, has at last come to fruition.

King Charles legally ascended to the throne as soon as his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died last September and the coronation serves as a religious ceremony much like a wedding, formalizing Charles’s new status as king.

The coronation is meant to tell the world what kind of king, Prince Charles plans to be and It’s intended to be shorter and less ponderous than previous coronations, but still enough of a spectacle to dazzle the public.

King Charles III will be crowned in Westminster Abbey, the same place every British monarch has been crowned for over 900 years on May 6, 2023, at 11 am London time.

That's US, 6 am Eastern time and 3 am Pacific time and all major networks in the US and the UK will be broadcasting the events.

Nigeria's multiple awards winning artiste, Tiwa Savage will be performing alongside top artistes in the world like Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, Andrea Bocelli, Sir Bryn, Olly Murs, Sir Bryn Terfel, Steve Winwood, Nichole Scherzinger, Lang Lang, DJ Pete Tong and Lucy.
