The highly anticipated first edition of Afro Nation Festival, the world’s largest Afrobeats festival, has officially announced its dates for the inaugural Lagos event. Afrobeats enthusiasts worldwide can mark their calendars for two sensational days of musical enchantment from December 19 to December 20, 2023.

Afro Nation Festival in Lagos guarantees an extraordinary lineup of renowned artists and exhilarating performances. As the birthplace of Afrobeats, the Nigerian edition of the festival is poised to become the highlight of 2023, uniting the diaspora in the heart of Afrobeats.

This exciting news was shared across the festival’s official social media platforms, intensifying the anticipation and thrill among music enthusiasts worldwide. Afro Nation Festival, which first debuted in Portugal four years ago, has been expanding its reach, culminating in a highly successful U.S. debut in Miami this past May.

Adesegun Adeosun Jnr, popularly known as SMADE and the Co-Founder of Afro Nation, expressed his excitement about bringing 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!”
