The much-anticipated Afro+ Fest in Washington, D.C., has officially revealed Nigerian afrobeats megastar Wizkid as a special guest.

The event, organised by Events DC, will take place at the RFK Festival Grounds on Sunday, August 31, 2025.

The Afro+ Fest brings together a wide range of musicians who are influencing the music scene worldwide, making it a top venue for honouring African music and culture. For Afrobeats enthusiasts, the festival is an important occasion because of its goal of showcasing the diverse talent coming from the continent and its diaspora.

Headliners Gunna and Asake are among the already outstanding group of performers that Wizkid will join. Other well-known performers like Machel Montano, Shenseea, Uncle Waffles, Shatta Wale, and Wande Coal are also on the schedule. His inclusion as a special guest at the festival is very noteworthy.

Wizkid, a Grammy Award-winning musician, has led the Afrobeats movement and been instrumental in popularising the genre worldwide. In addition to topping international charts, his successful songs and collaborations have helped numerous other African musicians achieve international acclaim.

The Afro+ Fest is expected to be a significant cultural event thanks to Wizkid’s star power and the festival’s dedication to promoting African artists. His energetic performance, which is anticipated to be the high point of the celebration that day, is highly anticipated by fans.
