Burna Boy to Headline Townline Festival in Brazil Alongside Travis Scott and Don Toliver
Afrofusion superstar Burna Boy continues his global music domination with yet another milestone as he is set to headline the upcoming Townline Festival in Brazil. The Nigerian hitmaker will be joined by top international acts, including American rap heavyweights Travis Scott, Don Toliver, and Brazilian hip-hop sensation Filipe Ret.
The event promises to be a celebration of global sounds, with Burna Boy leading the charge for African music on one of the world’s biggest stages. Known for his high-energy performances and chart-topping hits, Burna Boy is expected to deliver an unforgettable set, blending Afrobeat rhythms with his signature fusion of reggae, dancehall, and pop.
This appearance is the latest in a series of career-defining moments for Burna Boy in 2025. Earlier this year, he made history as the first African artist to headline the prestigious Stade de France and also became the first from the continent to sell out the Co-op Live Arena in England, the UK’s largest indoor arena.
The Townline Festival comes at a pivotal time for the Grammy Award-winning artist as he builds anticipation for his eighth studio album, No Sign of Weakness. Ahead of the album’s release, Burna Boy dropped Tatata, a high-energy single featuring co-headliner Travis Scott. The track infuses Brazilian funk with Nigerian pidgin and American pop rap, creating a truly global sound that fans expect to hear live at the festival.
The lyrics of Tatata have already stirred conversation online, especially after Burna Boy made a surprising reference to Equatorial Guinea’s controversial public figure, Baltasar Engonga. While the mention sparked debates, it has undeniably added to the buzz surrounding both the single and the artist’s upcoming album.
Prior to Tatata, Burna Boy also released Sweet Love, a laid-back reggae tune that showcased his musical versatility. Another single, Bundle By Bundle, has been a streaming success, racking up over 24 million plays on Spotify and more than 8.5 million views on YouTube.
With his unmatched international appeal and a growing list of achievements, Burna Boy’s headlining performance at Townline Festival is poised to be a landmark event. Fans across Brazil and beyond are eagerly awaiting what is sure to be a highlight in Burna Boy’s stellar year.
