Global Afrobeats sensation Burna Boy is set to headline The Townline Festival in Brazil, sharing the main stage with international superstars Travis Scott, Don Toliver, and Brazilian rap heavyweight Filipe Ret.
This major festival appearance adds to an already monumental year for the Grammy-winning Nigerian artist, who continues to solidify his status as one of the most dominant forces in global music.
In 2025 alone, Burna Boy has achieved several historic milestones. He became the first African artist to headline the iconic Stade de France, and also made history as the first African act to sell out the Co-op Live Arena — the largest indoor arena in the UK.
A Festival Stage Set for a Global Moment
Burna Boy’s appearance at The Townline Festival comes just as he ramps up for the release of his highly anticipated eighth studio album, No Sign of Weakness. The project has been preceded by a string of genre-blending singles, most notably “Tatata” featuring Travis Scott — a vibrant fusion of Brazilian funk, Nigerian pidgin, and American pop-rap.
On “Tatata,” Burna Boy name-drops controversial Equatorial Guinean public official Baltasar Engonga, referencing the widely publicized scandal surrounding his leaked sex tapes — a bold lyrical move that’s sparked conversation.
Fans are eagerly anticipating a live performance of “Tatata” at The Townline Festival, where Burna and Travis Scott are expected to bring their collaborative energy to the stage.
Building Momentum for No Sign of Weakness
Before “Tatata,” Burna Boy released the reggae-influenced single “Sweet Love”, further expanding his musical palette. Another standout release, “Bundle by Bundle,” has already amassed over 24 million streams on Spotify and 8.5 million views on YouTube, underscoring his continued global dominance.
With No Sign of Weakness on the horizon and a string of career-defining performances, Burna Boy is not just representing Afrobeats on the world stage — he’s redefining what it means to be a global pop icon from Africa.
