After three years of waiting, the majestic AFROPUNK Festival returns home: AFROPUNK Brooklyn makes its return since 2019. The event will host an incredible lineup and huge names to headline, as well.
As stated by the organisers of the event, AFROPUNK Festival is a “celebration of Black joy and a testament to the resilience of the Brooklyn community.” “It’s a celebration of life, music, food, and culture in the Black community.” For this reason, not only fans will be able to witness some of the best black artists around.
