Lagos, Nigeria is gearing up for an electrifying musical extravaganza as Afro Nation, the renowned Afrobeats Festival, plans to make its maiden debut in the country later this year. The news was revealed by the festival’s organizers through their official social media channels on Friday.
Adesegun Adeosun, popularly known as SMADE and co-founder of Afro Nation, expressed his excitement about bringing the festival to Nigeria.
He highlighted the country’s status as the birthplace of numerous international Afrobeats superstars who have contributed to the genre’s global popularity. Having grown up in Lagos and played a significant role in promoting African music in London and beyond, SMADE sees this event as a remarkable full-circle moment.
