The WeLoveYa Festival in Cotonou has raised the stakes for its 2025 edition with the confirmation that Grammy-winning star Burna Boy will be performing alongside Afrobeats heavyweights Davido and Wizkid.
The announcement cements the festival’s reputation as one of the biggest music events on the continent.
Scheduled for December 27 and 28, 2025, at the historic Place de l’Amazone, the festival is gearing up to host a rare gathering of three of Nigeria’s most influential artists. An updated promotional image from organizers confirms Burna Boy’s set for December 27, igniting excitement among fans across West Africa and beyond.
The WeLoveYa Festival has long been celebrated for spotlighting Afro and Urban culture, but the 2025 lineup is already being described as historic. Bringing together Burna Boy, Davido, and Wizkid, three artists who have played major roles in exporting Afrobeats to global audiences, has created a wave of anticipation among music lovers and industry observers.
Beyond the star-studded performances, attendees will experience a vibrant cultural village at the Festival’s Village Amazone, complete with food courts, bars, and tiered ticket options ranging from Standard to VIP. Organizers have also emphasized their continued commitment to social development, noting that part of the ticket revenue will support the construction of EYA Centers, community hubs designed to empower African youth through training and innovation.
With Burna Boy now officially added to the lineup, the WeLoveYa Festival is shaping up to be one of the most unmissable celebrations of African music and culture as the year draws to a close.
