Afrobeats heavyweight Wizkid is gearing up for a busy festival calendar in 2025, despite earlier cancellations of his Morayo tour dates across the United States and Europe.
While fans were left disappointed by the sudden halt in his previously scheduled tour, fresh updates reveal that the Essence crooner will still make major appearances around the globe—not through solo concerts, but by taking the stage at some of the world’s biggest music festivals.
The Nigerian superstar, fondly called Starboy, is set to bring his electrifying performances to fans across Europe, North America, and Africa as he headlines and features in several high-profile events throughout the year.
Below are three confirmed festivals where Wizkid will take center stage in 2025:
1. Wizkid to Headline Aiasound Festival in Denmark
Wizkid has been unveiled as one of the headline acts for the 2025 Aiasound Festival in Copenhagen, Denmark. Scheduled to take place on August 2, 2025, the Starboy will share top billing with UK rapper Skepta.
The announcement, made on Monday, May 19, 2025, marks his first confirmed headline slot at a European festival this year. With the cancellation of his Europe tour dates, fans eagerly anticipate more festival announcements in the months ahead.
