Afrosoul Festival has unveiled the full artist lineup for its highly anticipated debut in Auckland, promising a high-energy celebration of Afrobeats, amapiano, hip hop and soulful rhythms from across the diaspora. Set to take place on 11th October, 2025 at Lakeside Western Springs, Afrosoul marks a bold new addition to New Zealand’s music calendar.

Headlining the event is global superstar Burna Boy, who will be performing with a full live band for his first-ever show in New Zealand. Joining him are fast-rising Afrobeats talents Victony and Darkoo, both making their NZ debuts, alongside a strong local and regional lineup showcasing the best of Aotearoa’s Afro-influenced music scene.

The bill also includes producers and performers Jaydon Lewis, Jess B, Raiza Biza, and TK Paradza, plus an exclusive back-to-back DJ set from Isreal Adesanya and Randy Sjafrie. Rounding out the lineup are Poppa Jax, Adechoon, and D.Matthews, with more surprises still teased by organisers.

With just six weeks to go and final release tickets expected to drop soon, excitement is quickly building. Fans who tag their crew on social media also stand a chance to win one of five VIP upgrades or the grand prize of two VVIP passes. Afrosoul 2025 looks set to deliver a powerful debut edition—bringing the sounds of Africa to the heart of Auckland.
