Afro Nation Portugal 2025 just got even bigger! The legendary Mary J. Blige is set to make her long-awaited festival debut with a special sunset performance, adding her iconic voice to a powerhouse lineup. Fans are in for a spectacular three-day event from July 9–11, 2025, in Portimão, Portugal, where Blige will join Davido, Burna Boy, and Tems on the main stage.
For Davido, this performance will be the cherry on top of a monumental year. His highly anticipated fifth studio album, 5ive, drops in late March, and just days before Afro Nation, he will headline London’s 80,000-capacity Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on July 3.
But the festival isn’t stopping there! The latest wave of artist announcements includes French rap icon Booba, Haitian singer Joé Dwèt Filé, and Cape Verdean French star Ronisia. Meanwhile, the amapiano-fueled Piano People stage will host performances from The Therapist, Felo Le Tee, LeeMcKrazy, and Scotts Maphuma.
This fifth-anniversary edition of Afro Nation is shaping up to be one of the most unforgettable celebrations of Afrobeats, R&B, dancehall, and amapiano, bringing global Black excellence to the shores of Portugal. Will you be there to witness history?
