With Afrobeats heavyweights Burna Boy, Davido, and Tems named as the main acts for the summer extravaganza, the eagerly awaited Afro Nation Portugal 2025 roster has been revealed, and it is as explosive as anticipated.
However, in the midst of all the excitement and celebration, one obvious omission has caused a stir on the internet: Where is Wizkid? Fans are asking why the Essence crooner, who has headlined previous Afro Nation events, is curiously absent from the 2025 list.
Afro Nation 2025, the festival’s fifth anniversary edition, will be held at Portimão Beach, Portugal, from July 9 to July 11.
The roster is in accordance with the organizers, The Malachite Group (TMG), who have promised a “massive celebration” full with surprises and life-changing experiences. Burna Boy, who performed as the main act at the first Afro Nation in 2019, will be making a comeback to the stage, solidifying his status as Africa’s most popular music export worldwide. Fireworks are guaranteed when Burna is there because of her numerous Grammy nominations and number-one records.
Fans have been waiting for Tems’s debut performance at the festival since her breakthrough triumph. She is a soulful powerhouse who has swept the world music landscape by storm. Her mere presence is a significant event for many.
Global stars like Chris Brown, Mary J. Blige, Amaarae, and French rap icon Booba are also performing, adding to the festival’s international flavor. Davido, a regular performer at the event, returns with his trademark energy and hit-laden discography. The “Unavailable” crooner has grown to be a dependable Afro Nation favorite and a crowd-puller year after year.
