Afro Nation Portugal has officially lifted the curtain on its Phase 3 lineup for 2026, adding even more weight to an already blockbuster bill set for 3rd - 5th July, 2026 at Praia da Rocha in Portimão. The Algarve festival continues to cement its reputation as the world’s biggest celebration of Afrobeats, Amapiano, hip hop and global Black music culture.

Leading the new wave of additions is Burna Boy, whose long-awaited return to Afro Nation Portugal arrives alongside Ghanaian hitmakers R2Bees and Nigerian icon Wande Coal. Their inclusion adds serious legacy power to a lineup already stacked with headline acts including Wizkid, Asake, Tyla, Gunna and Kehlani across the sun-soaked weekend.

Phase 3 also brings a major Amapiano boost, with Uncle Waffles, Kelvin Momo, DJ Lag, DJ Tshegu, Felo Le Tee, Njelic and Nkosazana Daughter joining an expansive dance-driven roster. Rising names Joshua Baraka, Mavo, Scotts Maphuma, Royal Musiq, Skyla Tylaa and Success SA round out a lineup that balances global stars with future-shaping talent.

With organisers declaring “legacy energy meets Afro Nation debuts”, anticipation is building fast for another historic Algarve takeover. Early Access ticket sales open Thursday 5th February, 2026 at 10am GMT, with fans encouraged to register early as demand for Afro Nation Portugal 2026 continues to surge worldwide.
