Afrobeats heavyweights Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Asake are set to headline the Afro Nation 2026 festival in Portugal.
The organisers shared the full lineup on X, showcasing a mix of leading Afrobeats, R&B, dancehall, and
amapiano stars.
The organizers wrote, alongside the line-up poster, “PHASE 3 IS HERE. Legacy energy meets Afro Nation
debuts. This is the sound of a summer taking shape.”
The three-day festival will take place from July 3 to July 5, 2026, at Praia da Rocha Beach in Portimão, Portugal. Burna Boy will kick off the event on July 3, performing alongside South African star Tyla, followed by Asake on July 4, with Wizkid closing the festival on July 5.
The 2026 edition will also feature American R&B singer Kehlani and rapper Gunna as special guests. Other Nigerian artistes on the bill include Olamide, Young Jonn, Darkoo, Wande Coal, and Mavo.
Early Access tickets will go on sale on February 5.
Afro Nation is a premier annual festival celebrating African music and culture, and the 2026 edition is expected to be bigger than ever.
Last year, the organizers featured top Nigerian stars including Burna Boy, Davido, Tems, and Qing Madi.
