The organizers revealed the complete lineup on X, featuring a blend of top Afrobeats, R&B, dancehall, and amapiano stars.

Alongside the lineup poster, the organizers wrote, “PHASE 3 IS HERE. Legacy energy meets Afro Nation debuts. This is the sound of a summer taking shape.”

The three-day festival will run from July 3 to July 5, 2026, at Praia da Rocha Beach in Portimão, Portugal. Burna Boy will open the event on July 3, performing with South African sensation Tyla, followed by Asake on July 4, and Wizkid will close the festival on July 5.
