Afro Nation
Portugal 2023 announces the addition of main stage headliners Wizkid and Davido,
as well as more new names including Little Simz, Popcaan and Focalistic -
all joining the world’s biggest lineup of Afrobeats and Amapaino this summer.
Returning to the
beautiful Portimao beach on 28-30th June, Afro Nation has a star-studded line
up already boasting the likes of Burna Boy, 50 Cent, Booba, Aya
Nakamura, Fireboy DML, Asake, Arya Starr, Black
Sherif, Oxlade, Dadju and Ms Banks to name a few. Now the Star
Boy himself joins the party once again. With his silky voice and irresistible
beats, the Grammy award-winning and multi-platinum-selling global
superstar Wizkid heads to Afro Nation Portugal to perform countless
hits.
Wizkid has
recently joined fellow Afro Nation Portugal 2023 headliner Burna Boy, in
becoming the first African artists to take on UK Stadium headline shows in
2023.
Davido,
meanwhile, has built a reputation as one of the most exciting and innovative
artists in the Nigerian music scene, known for his infectious hooks and equally
infectious onstage energy. With his return to the stage highly anticipated this
summer, expect another crowning moment with the audience singing along to every
word of his classic hit records.
BRIT
Award-winning lyricist Little Simz also heads out to the Algarve, to
ignite the crowd with hits from her groundbreaking new albums ‘Sometimes I
Might Be Introvert’ and ‘NO THANK YOU’, along with her classic
tunes like ‘Venom’, ‘101FM’ and ‘Boss’. Always fearless and
thought-provoking, Simz has been collecting accolade after accolade in recent
years and next up is another moment to savour as she makes her Afro Nation
debut. The iconic dancehall legend Popcaan will also be pulling up to
Portugal this summer to heat things up with his most sizzling anthems
like ‘Only Man She Want’, ‘Party Shot’ and ‘When You Wine Like
That’.
And that’s not
all. Another one of Amapiano’s finest Focalistic is announced as a
leading name on this year’s Piano People stage, off the back of his
London headline show at the start of this month. Kamo Mphela, Felo Ła
Tee, Sir Trill and Skyla Tylaa will also be appearing
alongside countless South African stars, such as previously announced
headliners Scorpion Kings, Major League DJz and Uncle Waffles,
and so many DJs and artists behind the world’s most exciting sounds right now.
Powerhouse Musa Keys, popular singer Young Stunna, celebrated queen
of genre DBN Gogo, trailblazer Vigro Deep, “future ghetto punk”
superstar Moonchild Sanelly and many more will all be bringing the
heat and stirring up the sand with all the latest moves this June.
Day Splits for
Afro Nation Portugal 2023 have also been announced today, with Burna Boy, Aya
Nakamura and Popcaan opening the show on 28th June, Wizkid, Little Simz and
Asake performing on the 29th June and 50 Cent, Davido, Booba and Fireboy DML
providing the final fireworks on 30th June.
"We are
excited to welcome Wizkid, Davido, Little Simz, Popcaan, Focalistic and more to
Afro Nation Portugal 2023," said Afro Nation Portugal organisers. "These
artists represent the very best of African music and culture, and we can't wait
to see them perform on our beautiful beach stage. With so many incredible acts
on the lineup, this is shaping up to be the summer’s most unmissable party, and
our best festival yet."
Afro Nation has
become a must-attend event since its 2019 debut in Portugal. The rapid growth
of the festival, which is now hosting events on sites of cultural significance
across three continents, is a testament to the power of uniting the diaspora
and showcasing the best of African music and culture. With this explosive
lineup to come, and the stunning Portuguese sun that you can always rely on,
Afro Nation Portugal is set to draw in crowds from the UK, right across Europe,
Africa, and beyond, for another unifying and joyful celebration of Black music,
dancing, food and good vibes.
