Tiwa Savage is set to perform at the coronation ceremony of King Charles III on May 7.

The event is in honour of Charles who ascended to the throne after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II last year.

BBC announced Tiwa Savage among a line-up of international musicians to perform at the coronation concert.

The concert, produced by BBC Studios, will hold on the grounds of Windsor Castle as part of a three-day festivity.

Tiwa Savage has established herself as one of the prominent faces in the Nigerian music landscape.

She is the first woman to win an MTV Europe Music Award for Best African Act.

Reacting to her latest gig, Tiwa Savage said she’s excited to represent her culture at the ceremony.

“It’s truly an honour to be representing Africa and the Commonwealth at such a historic event,” she told BBC.

“I look forward to joining the celebrations and bringing Afrobeats to Windsor Castle for the first time!”

King Charles III’s coronation concert will feature other artistes including Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, Take That, Paloma Faith, Steve Winwood, Lang Lang, and Nicole Scherzinger.

Tom Cruise, Dame Joan Collins, and Sir Tom Jones will appear via video message.

Sonam Kapoor, the Indian actress, will deliver a spoken word performance.

The festivity will include a series of street parties throughout the UK and a volunteering campaign.
