Asake & Gunna to Headline Afro+ Fest 2025 in Washington, D.C. This August

Afrobeats powerhouse Asake and chart-topping American rapper Gunna are set to headline the upcoming Afro+ Fest, taking place this August in Washington, D.C. The announcement marks one of the most exciting cross-continental lineups of the year, as fans eagerly anticipate a festival that celebrates African culture, sound, and global influence in a grand way.

Asake, a Nigerian star formerly signed to YBNL Nation and known for hits like “Peace Be Unto You,” “Lonely At The Top,” “Mogbe,” and his latest genre-fusing album Lungu Boy, has become one of the most electrifying performers in Afrobeats. His ability to blend traditional Fuji rhythms with modern street pop and Amapiano has earned him critical acclaim and a massive following across Africa, Europe, and the U.S.

Joining him is Gunna, the Atlanta-based rap sensation whose smooth delivery and chart dominance make him a perfect fit for the global stage. With projects like DS4EVER and viral hits like “fukumean” and “Pushin P,” Gunna brings the trap-soul vibe that continues to shape hip-hop culture worldwide.

Tickets will be available soon. Stay tuned for pre-sale announcements and exclusive packages.
