AfroFuture cultural showcase to make U.S. debut in Detroit
(CBS DETROIT) - AfroFuture, an international celebration of African and African diaspora music and culture, has scheduled a 2025 showcase in Detroit.
The event, Aug 16 and 17 at Bedrock's Douglass Site, corner of Alfred Street and Beaubien Boulevard, will be the festival's debut in the United States. Previous events include those in Ghana.
"AfroFuture Detroit isn't just about music (though, trust us, the beats will be fire). It's a full immersive experience. A fusion of music, food, fashion and art," the announcement said. "It's where Afrobeats, Amapiano, Motown and Techno collide to create a one-of-a-kind experience that'll keep you vibing long after it's over."
Plans include a marketplace showcasing African and diasporic talent; and an artist lineup to be announced.
The Detroit event is presented by Bedrock and produced by Paxahau.
Ticket selections will start at $99.
