Nigerian music powerhouses Asake, Rema, and Omah Lay are set to headline the 2024 edition of the Promise Land Festival, a celebration of global music and culture scheduled for October 4 – 6. The festival promises to be a thrilling experience, with these Afrobeats stars joining a stellar lineup of international artists.
The Promise Land Festival has become a key platform for exporting Afrobeats to the world through electrifying live performances, and this year’s edition is no exception. Rema is slated to perform on the second day of the festival, sharing the stage with Jorja Smith, Miguel, and Fiji. Asake and Omah Lay will take center stage on the closing night, alongside rap legend Busta Rhymes.
In addition to these headliners, other Nigerian acts lighting up the stage include The Compozers, Sarz, Seyi Vibez, Shallipopi, Tiwa Savage, Victony, Ruger, and BNXN. The presence of these stars underscores the global impact of Nigerian music, with Afrobeats continuing to soar on the international scene.
The African representation at the festival doesn’t stop with Nigerian artists. Ghana’s Black Sherif and King Promise, along with South African sensations DBN Gogo, Major League DJz, Young Stunna, and Uncle Waffles, will also be delivering memorable performances, further highlighting the continent’s rich musical diversity.
The heavy presence of Afrobeats stars on the festival lineup reflects the genre’s meteoric rise on the global stage. From winning international awards to headlining some of the world’s biggest music festivals, Nigerian artists are leading the charge in bringing African music to the world. In 2023, this momentum was further solidified when Afrobeats inspired the creation of the Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance, with South African star Tyla becoming the inaugural winner.
As the Promise Land Festival approaches, fans can expect an unforgettable weekend of music that continues to showcase the power and influence of Afrobeats in shaping the global music scene.
