More about Afro Nation Portugal

Afro Nation Portugal was founded in 2019 through a joint venture between global live entertainment giants Live Nation and Event Horizon, alongside Sociedade Lusa de Espectáculos.

The festival aims to bring together all afro inspired music, including dancehall, amapiano, Afrobeats, Hip-hop, and R&B, into one single live entertainment event. It serves as a platform where the best and brightest from each subgenre get to showcase their music to an international audience.

The festival started as a four-day event, with the first lineup of the festival featuring artists such as J Hus and Burna Boy, drawing in a total crowd of more than twenty thousand people.

Following the festival launch, a mixtape titled Afro Nation, Vol. 1, was released. This featured performances by artists such as Terry Apala, Ice Prince, and Reekado Banks, among others.

The successful launch of the festival was immediately marred by the start of the Covid-19 pandemic and the backlash from patrons after organizers decided not to issue refunds for the canceled 2020 edition.

However, the festival recovered after relaunching in 2022 following the relaxation of pandemic protocols in the country, and the subsequent editions featured Megan Thee Stallion and 50 Cent on the headliner roster, drawing crowds of thirty-five thousand and over forty thousand, respectively.
