Europe’s
largest ever African Music Festival returns! Africa Unplugged dubbed the
Glastonbury of the African music scene, is kicking off in London at the flagship
O2 Academy Brixton on Sunday 14, September and ends at The Ritz Manchester on
Sunday 21, September 2014.
The festival’s
main objective is to promote ONE AFRICA: UNITED with this year’s awareness
campaign focusing on Africa’s struggle against child trafficking and child
abuse. The campaign was chosen on behalf of the missing Chibok schoolgirls in
Nigeria. Africa Unplugged supports and voices out to #BringBackOurGirls.
Africa Unplugged
2014 will be hosted by the legendary DJ Abass and will headline Africa’s
hottest artists of 2014: MTV and BET award winners Davido, Tiwa Savage and
Diamond Platnumz head the line-up with the best newcomers representing Africa and
the United Kingdom, including Britain’s Got Talent’s CEO dancers, and dance
groups AFRIKA, D3 and PROJECT G. The official DJ is Capital Extra’s Afrobeats
pioneer DJ Abrantee.
Fans will have
the unique opportunity to experience the buzz of African music, comedy and
dance through striking visuals, and incredible diverse performances for a
worthy cause. The festival will kick off in London at the 02 Academy Brixton on
Sunday 14th September and end at the RITZ Manchester on Sunday 21st September
