On October 31, 2023, the Afro Nation Festival organizers expressed their dismay on social media following a consensus decision to postpone the largest Afrobeats festival.

Nigerian music aficionados and enthusiasts are saddened by the cancellation. “Currently not possible to deliver a show that is of the quality that Nigeria deserves” was the rationale given for this decision.

AfroNation is a well-known international festival honoring the colorful and energetic subgenre of Afrobeat music. The festival has taken place in a number of nations, including Portugal, Ghana, Miami, and Detriot, but this would have been Lagos, Nigeria, its first international exhibition.

It was almost like a carnival going home to the country where Afrobeats originated, Nigeria. A remarkable range of musical performances by Burna Boy, J Hus, Seyi Vibez, and Black Sherif were promised throughout the now-canceled two days of the event.

Announcing the cancellation of Afro Nation Nigeria 2023 on social media, the event organizers sent a press release. We hope our homecoming show lives up to the expectations you deserve, even though we are sad that we will not be visiting Lagos this year. Bigger and better, we’ll be back shortly!

Tickets that have already been purchased will all be refunded, according to the showcase’s organizers. In Lagos, Afronation pledges to keep fostering Afronation.
