Organisers of Afrobeats Festival (Afro Nation) have announced a brand new edition to hold in Lagos, Nigeria for the first time in 2023. 

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the event was announced today via the festival’s official social media channels.

Afro Nation Nigeria is set to be the biggest event of its kind in 2023, uniting the diaspora in the home of Afrobeats. 

Speaking about the upcoming plans to bring Afro Nation to Nigeria, Co-Founder SMADE said: “Nigeria is the home to so many international superstars who have made Afrobeats a globally loved genre. 

“As someone who grew up in Lagos, and then spent years promoting African music in London and beyond, this will truly be a full circle moment, bringing the Afro Nation show back home to Lagos. 

“We can’t wait for the biggest celebration of African music the world has ever seen, “he said. 

NAN reports that four years since Afro Nation’s debut in Portugal, the festival had since been expanded around the world with a hugely successful US debut in Miami in May.

There are more incredible shows to come on the beach in Portugal this month of June, before returning to America for a two day show in Detroit between 19th-20th August.

With more details to be announced soon, fans are encouraged to sign up for news, and have the first opportunity to get tickets to Afro Nation Nigeria.
