Grammy-winning Nigerian Afrobeats singer Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu popularly known as Burna Boy is set to headline the final Fan Zone concert of 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Rabat, Morocco, in a major cultural climax to the continent’s biggest football event.
Gatekeepers News reports that Confederation of African Football (CAF) confirmed in a post on its official X account that the show, branded “The AFCON Last Dance,” will take place on Friday, January 16, 2026, at the OLM Souissi Fan Zone with performances kicking off at 8 p.m. local time.
Joining Burna Boy on the lineup are British rapper Stormy, Ghanaian reggae-dancehall star Stonebwoy, and rising talent Jaylann, offering a mix of global and African sounds to celebrate the close of the tournament’s Fan Zone festivities.
The Fan Zone concerts have been a signature feature of AFCON 2025, blending live music and cultural showcases with the football throughout the competition. Earlier in the tournament, the opening Le Show concert in Rabat featured Nigerian superstar Davido, French-Moroccan rapper French Montana, and hitmaker RedOne, setting a festive tone just before Morocco’s first match against Comoros.
The finale comes amid intense football action: host nation Morocco advanced to the AFCON final after a dramatic 4–2 penalty shootout win over Nigeria, while the Super Eagles are scheduled to face Egypt in the third-place match on January 17 while Morocco will take on Senegal in the final on January 18.
