Afro Nation set to kick off second annual Detroit festival
Detroit is set to come alive as Afro Nation returns for its second annual festival in the Motor City, promising an electrifying weekend of Afrobeats, hip-hop, and vibrant cultural celebration. Taking place at Bedrock’s Douglass Site from August 17-18, this two-day event is packed with star-studded performances and promises to be a highlight of the summer festival season.
On August 17, fans will witness a stellar lineup led by Nigerian sensation Rema, whose hits like “Calm Down” have taken the global music scene by storm. Joining him are other Afrobeats heavyweights, including Kizz Daniel, Omah Lay, and Ayra Starr, alongside Detroit’s own Kash Doll and South African DJ sensation Uncle Waffles, who will undoubtedly keep the energy high with her infectious sets.
The excitement continues on August 18, when the legendary Lil Wayne takes the stage as the headlining act. Known for his influential presence in hip-hop, Wayne’s performance is highly anticipated and is set to be a major draw. The final day will also feature Asake, PartyNextDoor, and Shenseea, adding a mix of Afrobeats, R&B, and dancehall vibes to close out the festival in style.
Fans who want to be part of this unforgettable experience can still purchase general admission tickets, though VIP options have already sold out. With such a dynamic lineup, the anticipation is high, and Afro Nation Detroit is poised to be a major success in its second year.
