Burna Boy, Uncle Waffles & more announced for Afro Nation

The world’s largest Afrobeats and Amapiano movement, Afro Nation Portugal, is bringing the feeling of summer closer than ever today by unveiling a monumental third wave lineup announcement. With momentum building for the sixth edition taking place Friday 3rd to Sunday 5th July 2026, almost 20 more artists join the stacked lineup today including two more headline names, Burna Boy and Uncle Waffles.

One of the most influential African artists of all time, Burna Boy’s presence at Afro Nation always feels historic. Last summer, the Nigerian superstar launched his latest album ‘No Sign of Weakness’ from the sands of Praia da Rocha, delivering a defining moment for fans on the beach.

Joining Burna Boy on the Lit Stage are a new wave of standout names shaping the sound of now, including Ghanaian duo R2Bees, Nigeria’s Wande Coal, Uganda’s Joshua Baraka and Mavo. Today’s announcement adds further depth and energy to a lineup that already features headliners Asake and Wizkid, who are currently breaking streaming records together with new joint EP, alongside Tyla, and special guests Gunna and Kehlani.

On the unstoppable Piano People Stage, Afro Nation welcomes back one of its most defining figures, Uncle Waffles. A true pioneer of the Amapiano movement, Uncle Waffles has delivered some of the most unforgettable closing moments in Afro Nation history, each one further propelling South African dance music onto the global stage. Her sets have become landmark experiences for the community, joyful and high energy celebrations that echo far beyond the beach. Fresh off a hugely successful run of global shows and following the landmark debut Piano People event in South Africa, Uncle Waffles’ impact continues to grow at pace. Her return to Portugal marks another full circle moment for a movement she has helped shape from the ground up.

She is joined on the Piano People Stage by an expansive lineup of Amapiano innovators and scene leaders, including the highly influential Kelvin Momo, DJ Lag, DJ Tshegu, Felo Le Tee, JAZZWRLD & Thukuthela, Njelic, Nkosasana Daughter, Que DJ, Royal Musiq, Scotts Maphuma, Skyla Tylaa and Success SA, all announced today.
