Afrobeats enthusiasts around the globe are in for a treat as the first-ever Afro Nation Festival in Nigeria has officially locked in its dates. This highly-anticipated event promises two thrilling days of musical magic, set to take place from December 19 to December 20, 2023.
The Afro Nation Festival in Lagos is gearing up to showcase an extraordinary lineup of top-tier artists and electrifying performances.
Marking a significant homecoming for the festival to the birthplace of Afrobeats, the Nigerian edition is poised to become the standout event of 2023, uniting the diaspora in the heart of Afrobeats.
This exciting announcement was unveiled through the festival’s official social media channels, intensifying the anticipation and enthusiasm among music enthusiasts worldwide.
Afro Nation Festival, which initially debuted four years ago in Portugal, has been on an expansive journey, including a highly successful U.S. debut in Miami this past May.
Co-founder of Afro Nation, Adesegun Adeosun Jnr, widely known as SMADE, expressed his sentiments regarding the decision to bring the festival to Lagos, Nigeria. He remarked, “Nigeria is home to numerous international superstars who have propelled Afrobeats into a globally cherished genre. As someone who grew up in Lagos and later spent years promoting African music in London and beyond, this is a full-circle moment for me. Bringing the Afro Nation show back home to Lagos is a dream come true. We can’t wait to witness the grandest celebration of African music the world has ever seen!”
