Afro Plus Fest is back and three times the size. The World’s Largest Afro-Caribbean Hip-Hop Festival returns Labor Day Weekend, September 4 through 6, 2026, at the Northwest Stadium Complex in Landover, Maryland, expanding from its sold-out one-day debut into a full three-day event projected to draw 120,000 fans across the weekend. Three-day passes are on sale now at theafroplus.com, with General Admission starting at $199.
The headliner lineup is a statement. Davido opens the weekend Friday. Alkaline takes Saturday. Wizkid closes it out Sunday. Across 2 massive stages for up to 40,000 fans per day, the cross-continental roster also includes Lil Baby, Latto, Chief Keef, Sexyy Red, Adekunle Gold, Olamide, Sarkodie, Tiwa Savage, Spice, Dexta Daps, Ruger, Victony, and dozens more spanning Afrobeats, Hip-Hop, Dancehall, Amapiano, Soca, and R&B.
The festival’s Piano District stage features DBN Gogo, TXC, Kelvin Momo, Tyler ICU, and Musa Keys. La Vibe brings Tayc and Didi B. The Made in the DMV stage champions local talent including Mannywellz, Foggie Raw, and Yung Manny.
Beyond music, Afro Plus Fest delivers a full cultural campus with a marketplace featuring Black-owned brands and DMV creators, high-fashion activations, curated food and beverage, and immersive cultural experiences. The festival is an all-ages event with full ADA accessibility, Metro access via Morgan Boulevard Station, and on-site parking available via a 3-day pass for $100.
Afro Plus Fest founder Michael Awosanya framed the expansion in direct terms: “We were raised in this county. This year is bigger because the community demanded it be bigger. This one’s for the people who raised us.” The 2025 debut drew 20,000 attendees and generated an estimated $10 million in local economic impact. The 2026 edition is built to multiply that by every measure.
