Burna Boy and Tems to Headline Afronation 2025 in Historic First
Burna Boy and Tems are set to make history as they headline the Coronation festival in Portugal next year.
Scheduled to take place from July 9th to 11th, 2025, this edition of the popular festival promises to be a thrilling celebration of African music, culture, and talent.
The announcement has sent waves of excitement throughout the music world, as both artists have become icons not only on the African continent but across the globe.
For Burna Boy, this marks yet another major milestone in his already illustrious career.
The Nigerian artist, known for his groundbreaking blend of Afrobeat, dancehall, reggae, and pop, has been on an unstoppable rise.
Over the past few years, he’s bagged several international awards, including a Grammy for Best Global Music Album, cementing his status as one of Africa’s most influential voices.
His unique ability to fuse traditional African sounds with global music trends has earned him a diverse fanbase, making his presence at Afronation a guaranteed highlight of the festival.
Tems, on the other hand, will make history as the first African female artist to headline the festival.
Since her breakout in 2020, Tems has become a force to reckon with in the music industry, and her smooth, soulful voice has captured hearts worldwide.
From collaborating with international stars like Wizkid and Drake to being featured in high-profile tracks like Future’s Wait For U, Tems has proven that her talent knows no bounds.
She has been lauded for her unique sound that combines R&B, Afrobeat, and alternative styles, and fans have eagerly anticipated this moment.
Coronation has grown to become one of the world’s largest celebrations of African music and diaspora culture since its inception.
Held annually in beautiful beachside locations, the festival draws thousands of fans from around the world who come to celebrate the vibrant sounds of Afrobeat, dancehall, reggae, soca, and other genres.
Its reputation for bringing together top-tier talent and creating unforgettable live experiences has made it a must-attend event for music lovers everywhere.
With Burna Boy and Tems headlining, the 2025 edition is set to be one of the most memorable yet.
The inclusion of Tems as a headliner is a significant moment not only for her career but for the representation of African women in global music festivals.
Often underrepresented on such large stages, African female artists have been steadily breaking barriers, and Tems’ headlining role signals a major shift in how African women are seen in the music industry.
It’s not just a win for Tems but for aspiring female artists across the continent who are inspired by her rise.
Fans can expect electrifying performances from both Burna Boy and Tems, alongside a lineup of other talented artists yet to be revealed.
As always, Afronation promises to deliver an immersive experience, blending music, culture, and the stunning backdrop of Portugal’s beaches.
With over a year to go until the festival, excitement is already building, and fans are eagerly awaiting more details.
As the countdown to July 2025 begins, it’s clear that this edition of Afronation will be a defining moment in the careers of Burna Boy and Tems and a monumental celebration of African music on the global stage.

Basketmouth Criticizes Nollywood for Failing to Showcase Nigeria’s Culture In TV Shows
Bright Okpocha, widely known as Basketmouth, has criticized Nigerian filmmakers for failing to highlight the country’s vibrant culture in their movies.
The renowned comedian and filmmaker voiced his disappointment during an interview with Hip TV, where he discussed the missed opportunities by some filmmakers to positively represent Nigeria’s heritage, particularly in epic movies.
Basketmouth lamented that many of the recent epic films lack authenticity and fail to reflect the depth of Nigerian culture.
Instead, he argued, they often come across as overly theatrical or staged.
Sharing his thoughts, he said, “We had a golden opportunity to showcase our culture, but many filmmakers missed the mark.
Most of the epic movies I’ve watched look more like stage plays than real representations of our heritage.
It’s disheartening to see such potential go to waste.”
He added, “I’ve watched several epic movies, and very few have left a lasting impression on me.
We had a great chance to make an impact, but it feels like we blew it.
However, I believe there’s still time to turn things around and get it right.”
