Afro Nation, the global movement dedicated to celebrating African music and culture, has unveiled an exciting lineup for its monumental 5th-anniversary festival. This highly anticipated three-day event, set to take place from July 9-11, 2025, will unfold on the breathtaking golden sands of Praia da Rocha in Portimão, Portugal. With its stunning beachfront location, the festival promises to offer an unforgettable experience filled with world-class music, fashion, food, and dance, bringing together fans from all corners of the globe.
Leading the charge at this year’s festival is none other than the Afrobeats superstar Davido. After headlining the inaugural festival in 2019, Davido’s return to the main stage marks a significant milestone, reflecting both his own career growth and Afro Nation’s journey as a global celebration of African culture. Joining him are fellow headliners Burna Boy, whose international success continues to soar, and the sensational Tems, whose powerful vocals have captivated listeners worldwide.
In addition to these powerhouse acts, the festival’s lineup is bolstered by new names and fan favorites from across the African music landscape. The recently announced additions include the legendary French rapper Booba, Jamaican dancehall sensation Dexta Daps, and rising Afrobeat stars Joé Dwèt Filé, Ronisia, Felo Le Tee, LeeMcKrazy, Scotts Maphuma, and The Therapist. This diverse array of artists guarantees a mix of Afrobeats, Amapiano, dancehall, and more, ensuring that Afro Nation continues to be the ultimate destination for music lovers.
The festival is a testament to Afro Nation’s evolution into a global cultural phenomenon, cementing its position as the go-to celebration for African music and culture every summer. “Davido’s return to the main stage is a reflection of the festival’s growth and the enduring influence of African music worldwide,” said The Malachite Group (TMG). “This 5th anniversary will be packed with surprises and unforgettable moments that you won’t want to miss.”
Since its inception in 2019, Afro Nation has grown exponentially, bridging communities and celebrating African culture on a global stage, and the upcoming anniversary edition promises to take the festival to even greater heights.
