Afro Nation, being recognized as one of the world’s biggest Afrobeats festival, has made an official announcement about the first headliner and more for its highly anticipated Nigerian debut.

Returning home to the African continent on 19th & 20th of December, the highly anticipated show promises to be a remarkable celebration of culture, music, and unity, set against the prominent backdrop of Lagos, the heart and cultural powerhouse of West Africa.

Dominating the lineup for this amazing show are none other than Nigeria’s iconic Afrobeats sensation, Burna Boy and the UK’s top-rated Afroswing superstar J Hus.

Recognized for his genre-defying music and magnetic stage presence, Burna Boy’s performance promises a mind-blowing experience for music fans in Lagos.

With roots deeply embedded in Nigeria, Burna Boy’s homecoming will be a great highlight of Afro Nation Nigeria.

As a mark of his rapid global development in recent times, the Dangote hitmaker has now become the first-ever international Afrobeats musician to top the UK Album Chart with the release of his highly acclaimed 7th album titled ‘I Told Them…’, after being a fixture in the Official UK Afrobeats Chart since its inception three years ago.

Having headlined Afro Nation festivals across the globe since the first event in 2019, this full circle moment holds even more importance, and sees the unimaginable talent round off a victory lap of a year at home in Lagos.

The star-studded two-day music festival also welcomes the new crop Nigerian musicians, such as world-renowned Igbo singer Flavour, and neo fuji torch bearer Seyi Vibez, alongside the breakout Ghanaian Highlife musician Black Sherif.
