Summer 2026 just got way hotter. The road to Portimão is heating up, and we finally have confirmation on one of the most anticipated acts coming out of West Africa! Get ready, Afrobeats lovers and festival vibes chasers! Ghana’s unique music duo, the legendary R2Bees, are officially headed to Portugal this year.
The iconic pair—made up of the dynamic Faisal Hakeem (Omar Sterling) and the soulful Rashid Mugeez (Mugeez)—have been confirmed to join the star-studded line-up for AfroNation Portugal 2026.
If you are heading to the Algarve this summer, prepare for unmatched energy. R2Bees will be taking over the LIT STAGE, bringing their catalog of timeless hits to the massive crowds spanning the weekend of July 3rd to 5th, 2026.
The stunning golden sands of Praia da Rocha in Portimão will provide the perfect backdrop for their performance. R2Bees are celebrated maestros at blending hiphop, hiplife, highlife, and contemporary Afrobeats, creating the kind of anthems that define summers.
This appearance is extra special for fans of the duo and the festival brand alike. This marks R2Bees’ highly anticipated second appearance on the prestigious AfroNation stage, having first made their explosive debut back in 2019 during the festival’s edition in Ghana.
Seven years later, they are back to show the world why they remain one of the most enduring and respected forces in African music.
If you needed a sign to book those flights to Portugal, this is it. Witnessing legends like R2Bees on the LIT STAGE on a beach in Europe is what summer dreams are made of. Grab your tickets, sort your accommodation, and get ready to scream the lyrics to the ever-green timeless hit “Over,” “Kiss Your Hand,” “Slow Down,” and “Life (Walaahi)” with thousands of other fans.
See you on the beach this July! | FOR TICKETS
