Wizkid will perform on the main Festival Stage, while the new <strong>Pulse Stage<\/strong> will showcase emerging artists and fresh sounds shaping the next generation of African music.<\/p>\n<p>Darey Art Alade, co-founder and chief creative officer of production company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livespot360.com\"><strong>Livespot360<\/strong><\/a>, said the dual-stage setup reflects the growing global reach of African music. \u201cThe new stage creates more opportunities for younger artists,\u201d Alade said. \u201cIt allows emerging performers to share the festival with established stars and contribute to the continued growth of Africa\u2019s music ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tickets are available now through official festival channels, with additional headliners to be announced in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<h2>Wizkid\u2019s Recent Output<\/h2>\n<p>Wizkid\u2019s headlining slot follows a relatively low-key period.
