Culture Management Group (CMG), the visionary collective behind some of Africa’s most celebrated cultural experiences, has proudly announced the return of AfroFuture Ghana 2025 on December 28–29, 2025, at El Wak Stadium. Powered by Afreximbank and Martell, this year’s AfroFuture is set to bring
together an electric lineup of artists who embody the pulse of the continent’s
creative renaissance.
Leading the first wave of performers are global Afrobeats superstar Asake, South
African sensations TxC, Ghana’s next breakout superstar, Moliy, Ghanaian artist King
Paluta, and Afrobeat innovator Mavo.
Adding to the excitement, festivalgoers can look forward to high-energy sets from an
all-star roster of DJs, including DJ Obi & Obi’s House, ADDJ, DJ Loft, and dynamic duo K-Dawg & EZPass, each bringing their unique sound and energy to the AfroFuture stage.
This year’s festival theme is African Nostalgia, a term that celebrates the collective
memory that connects Africans across generations and borders – through food,
music, fashion, art, and community. It honors the traditions that have endured
despite migration and separation, transforming them into a global cultural force.
Within AfroFuture, nostalgia becomes more than reflection; it’s inspiration.
By revisiting our roots – unity, creativity, and homecoming – we reignite the African
Dream: a future that is proud, connected, and unstoppable.
“African Nostalgia is the heartbeat of AfroFuture 2025 – honoring the food, music,
fashion, art, and traditions that connect Africans and the diaspora across generations, ”says Abdul Karim Abdullah, CEO and Co-Founder, Culture
Management Group.
He added ”Its memory turned into legacy: a celebration of what shaped
us yesterday, and the fuel for building the African Dream of tomorrow.”
In the days leading up to and after the main event, AfroFuture will host a series of
immersive experiences and cultural programs designed to celebrate African
creativity, innovation, and legacy, setting the stage for another unforgettable
