Afro Nation is making its Nigerian debut at none other than Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos on the 19th and 20th of December. Now, that’s a festival you don’t want to miss!
This follows Afro Nation’s impressive American debut at LoanDepot Park during Memorial Day weekend in May and a recent event in Detroit in August, showing that Afro Nation is making waves globally, one epic event after another.
Now, let’s talk about the line-up. While we’re eagerly awaiting the official artist roster for Afro Nation Nigeria, you can bet your bottom dollar it’s going to be nothing short of spectacular. Multiple festival stages, a fusion of genres including Afrobeats, amapiano, Afro-house, hip hop, R&B, and dancehall – this festival knows how to bring the heat!
Afro Nation isn’t just any festival; it’s an urban beach extravaganza that’s graced the shores of Portugal, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Ghana, with superstar headliners like Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy taking center stage. It’s also been a key player in putting African pop music, especially Afrobeats, on the international map.
Now, let’s discuss Ghana. Despite a hiccup with Afro Nation Ghana’s cancellation last year due to safety concerns, there’s optimism. A five-year agreement between Event Horizon, the festival’s producers, and the Ghanaian government is still in effect. Dr. Awal Mohammed, Ghana’s Minister of Tourism, Arts, and Culture, has confirmed its continuation.
So, there you have it, Afro Nation is going global with its Nigerian debut on the horizon, powered by Live Nation, SMADE Entertainment, MOT, and BBC Radio 1Xtra. Stay tuned for updates as African music takes the international stage! Keep the music alive!
