Afro Nation is pulling out all the stops for its fifth-anniversary celebration in 2025, bringing two of Africa's biggest stars—Tems and Burna Boy—to headline the event. Taking place from July 9 to July 11 in Portugal, this year's edition promises to be another milestone moment for the international African music scene.

Joining the stellar lineup, Afro Nation has also announced performances by rising sensation Ayra Starr, as well as crowd favorites like Franglish, Gabzy, Tiakola, and Inoss’B. The Piano People stage, a highlight for fans of amapiano, will feature iconic acts including Scorpion Kings, DBN Gogo, Vigro Deep, Mörda, Oskido, KMAT, Shakes & Les, and Rosey Gold.

For the Afro Nation faithful, Burna Boy needs no introduction. Since being part of the festival's inaugural edition in 2019, Burna Boy has become synonymous with African excellence. His upcoming return marks a triumphant homecoming after a monumental year of breaking records and redefining global perceptions of African music. From electrifying stadiums worldwide to becoming a cultural powerhouse, Burna Boy's presence at Afro Nation 2025 is bound to be an unforgettable experience.

Meanwhile, Tems will be headlining Afro Nation Portugal for the first time. Her journey from Nigeria’s alté scene to global stardom has been meteoric, and her rise is a symbol of empowerment for women in Afrobeats. Coming off the success of her critically acclaimed album, Born in the Wild, Tems is pushing African music into uncharted territories, representing a new generation of artists who are elevating African sounds on the global stage.

Afro Nation has grown from a beachside festival to a cultural movement, amplifying African voices across the world. Since its humble beginnings in Portimão in 2019, it has provided a global platform for African artists to shine, featuring past headliners like Wizkid, Davido, and Megan Thee Stallion—artists who have all played a role in bridging the gap between African music and the international mainstream.

As Afro Nation gears up for its fifth year, fans can look forward to the return of The Piano People stage, dedicated to the high-energy amapiano scene. With even more dynamic sounds coming to the beach, the excitement builds as we count down to what will undoubtedly be another epic celebration of African culture and music.

Stay tuned for more updates on the lineup and get ready to make unforgettable memories in Portugal this summer.
