Longtime Las Vegas headliner and star DJ Diplo and his Major Lazer, the boundary-pushing global pop force, have unveiled their new track “Papi With Tokischa” featuring Dominican superstar Tokischa. Listen here and watch the official music video for “Papi With Tokischa” here.
The hitmakers began teasing the track at shows and pop-ups across the globe, including an impromptu set in an abandoned lot in Miami for only 200 fans. Tokischa joined Lazer for the song’s first live performance at their headline Ultra set, and her appearance at Lazer’s main stage Coachella set – to more than 80,000 attendees – created even more excitement for the new song.
While out at Coachella, Lazer and Tokischa ventured deeper into the desert to capture the track’s energy in an electric new music video. Directed by Cambron Lyles and Alex Ferzan, the video also incorporates footage from the Miami pop-up, bringing Lazer’s live chaos to the screen.
Amid their first extensive touring in seven years, Lazer has taken their signature electricity to festivals the world over, returning to huge crowds at Governors Ball and Bonnaroo. Upcoming dates include the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Lollapalooza, Osheaga, Pukkelpop and more.
Anchored by stage production from creative director Mike Carson and choreography from Sara Bivens and Calvit Hodge for eight dancers, the Lazer show brings a new party to global fans. The year 2026 has seen Lazer take over the largest sporting events on the planet. They delivered a centerpiece performance at the Closing Ceremony of the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics.
Additionally, the group teamed up with Nelly Furtado and Davido to celebrate this year’s FIFA World Cup, creating “No Place Like Home,” an official anthem of the tournament. Davido joined Lazer to perform the track at their headline set for the World Cup’s Countdown Concert in L.A., kicking off the tournament for a viewership of millions globally.
“Papi With Tokischa” follows Lazer’s 2025 mixtape “Gyalgebra.” The project ushered in a new chapter for Lazer, marking the first release with their newest member, London multi-hyphenate America Foster. Her verses light up five of the mixtape’s tracks, which also feature collaborations with dancer-choreographer Parris Goebel, Toronto it girl SadBoi, Soca legend Bunji Garlin and more.
The Diplo-founded ensemble is one of the most successful groups in pop, featuring longtime members Walshy Fire and Ape Drums alongside new addition Foster. Lazer’s hits include “Lean On” (one of the most successful songs ever), 4x Platinum-certified “Cold Water” and 2x Platinum-certified “Light It Up.” Collaborators include Beyoncé, J Balvin, Travis Scott, Ariana Grande and more.
