Ghanaian rap superstar Sarkodie is among the artists billed for Afro+ Fest 2026, a major three-day Afro-Caribbean and Hip Hop festival taking place at Northwest Stadium over Labor Day weekend.
The festival, scheduled for Friday, Sept. 4 through Sunday, Sept. 6, 2026, in the DMV area, will feature multiple stages and a stacked lineup highlighting Afrobeats, dancehall, hip-hop, and related genres. Organizers describe it as the largest event of its kind in North America, building on last year’s debut that drew thousands of attendees.
Headliners include Nigerian stars Wizkid and Davido, along with Jamaican dancehall artist Alkaline. Sarkodie joins a strong supporting cast that also features Tiwa Savage, Olamide, Adekunle Gold, Spice, Dexta Daps, Ruger, Victony, and others. Davido is expected to headline Friday, Alkaline on Saturday, and Wizkid closing out the weekend on Sunday.
