Nigerian Afrobeats heavyweights Davido and Wizkid are set to light up Cotonou as they headline this year’s WeLovEya Festival, one of West Africa’s most vibrant and anticipated end-of-year music celebrations. Their participation has sparked massive excitement among fans across the region, marking yet another historic moment for African music culture.
The two-day festival is scheduled for December 27 and 28, taking place at the scenic Place de l’Amazone, with performances kicking off at 5 p.m. on both evenings. For fans, the chance to see two of Africa’s biggest global exports share the same festival stage is nothing short of monumental.
Both artists, who have shaped Afrobeats into an international phenomenon, bring unmatched star power, influence, and fan loyalty. Their appearance not only elevates this year’s lineup but also solidifies the WeLovEya Festival’s status as a premier platform for urban, Afro-fusion, and contemporary African music.
Over the years, the festival has earned a reputation for more than just entertainment. It has become a cultural movement—known for its electric atmosphere, diverse lineup, and commitment to promoting African urban culture. Beyond music, organizers often channel a portion of the proceeds into community development and youth-focused projects in Benin, making the event both impactful and culturally significant.
With Davido and Wizkid headlining the 2025 edition, attendance is expected to surge, drawing fans from across West Africa and beyond. As enthusiasm continues to build, organizers are urging attendees to secure their tickets early to avoid missing out on what promises to be an unforgettable celebration of rhythm, culture, and African star power in Cotonou.
