Tickets

Afro Nation is a Portuguese Afrobeats, hip-hop, dancehall, bashment and R&B festival held each summer on the beautiful Praia da Rocha beach, just south of Portimão.

Alongside the main festival programme, festival-goers will have the opportunity to attend boat parties and private beach parties, with an array of DJs spread across the weekend providing the perfect summer soundtrack for a festival that is now firmly on many bucket lists.

The Piano People Stage: A dedicated sanctuary for the Amapiano sound, featuring the world’s best DJs and producers from South Africa, keeping the “log drum” energy alive all day and night.
Golden Sands & Turquoise Waters: Unlike stadium festivals, Afro Nation takes place directly on the beach, allowing fans to dance in the sand while the sun sets over the Atlantic.
Global Hub of Culture: The festival attracts a massive international crowd from across Europe, Africa, and the Americas, creating a unique atmosphere of unity and celebration.
Exclusive Boat Parties: Beyond the main stage, the festival hosts legendary boat parties along the Algarve coastline, offering intimate sets and breathtaking views.
The Pulse of African Music: As the premier global platform for the genre, Afro Nation is often where the summer’s biggest Afrobeats anthems are solidified.
