What is AfroFuture 2025?
AfroFuture, previously known as Afrochella, is far more than a music festival. It’s a cultural movement. First launched in 2019 in Accra, Ghana, the festival has grown into a global platform celebrating African creativity in its purest form: music, art, fashion, food, and technology.
For 2025, AfroFuture promises an immersive, multi-sensory experience from striking art installations and live fashion showcases to wellness pop-ups and unforgettable music performances. It’s a celebration of Africa’s past, present, and future, bringing the continent and its diaspora together under one vibrant creative spotlight.
AfroFuture 2025 Dates
AfroFuture 2025 comes with two powerful editions:
- AfroFuture Detroit (U.S.): taking place 16–17 August 2025, marking the festival’s global expansion and connection with the African diaspora.
