The official lineup for Afro Nation Portugal 2025 has been revealed, and it’s nothing short of spectacular. Headlining the summer festival are Afrobeats heavyweights Burna Boy, Davido, and Tems, setting the stage for a high-energy celebration.
However, the excitement surrounding the announcement has been accompanied by a wave of online reactions, with many fans voicing one burning question where is Wizkid? Known for his headline performances at previous Afro Nation events, the “Essence” hitmaker’s absence from the 2025 edition has left many surprised and disappointed.
Set to run from July 9 to 11, the festival will return to Portimão Beach in Portugal for its fifth anniversary. Organizers, The Malachite Group (TMG), have promised a landmark edition filled with memorable experiences and surprise moments.
Burna Boy, who also headlined the first Afro Nation festival in 2019, is set to make a powerful return. With international acclaim, multiple Grammy nods, and hit albums, his presence brings star power and global appeal.
Tems, one of Nigeria’s fastest-rising stars with a growing international following, will make her Afro Nation debut a moment fans have long awaited. Her inclusion marks a significant milestone for both her and the festival.
Davido, no stranger to the Afro Nation stage, will also be returning. Known for his electrifying performances and an impressive catalog of hits, he remains a fan favorite and consistent crowd-pleaser.
The 2025 lineup also boasts international stars such as Chris Brown, Mary J. Blige, Amaarae, and French rap sensation Booba, adding further global appeal to the already stacked roster.
While fans celebrate the lineup, the absence of Wizkid continues to dominate online conversations leaving many hopeful for a late surprise announcement.
