BLASTFEST, the highly anticipated Afrobeats music festival, is set to make its debut in Seattle on July 29th, 2023. The festival will take place at the Seattle Center, home to the iconic Space Needle, and will feature electrifying performances by some of the biggest names in the afrobeats industry.

Brought to you by Bobby Akinboro, also known as DJ Blast, BLASTFEST promises to be an unforgettable event celebrating the vibrant Afrobeats culture. DJ BLAST has been hosting events all throughout Seattle, bringing together Afrobeats music lovers for the last six years leading up to this festival. With his extensive experience in the industry and his passion for music, it's no surprise that DJ BLAST is the one to bring his vision of an Afrobeats festival to life.

The festival will be a celebration of music, culture, and diversity. The lineup will be announced on April 24 at 9:00 am PST via the official Instagram account for the festival, @blastmusicfest. Attendees can expect an unforgettable experience filled with energetic performances, delicious food trucks, and a black business vendor market.

"We are thrilled to launch BLASTFEST in Seattle," said DJ BLAST. "Our goal is to showcase the rich and diverse Afrobeats culture and bring together music lovers from all over the world to celebrate this amazing genre. Beyond the music, we have several displays of culture, art, and afrofuturism. We can't wait for everyone to come out and enjoy the festival."
