Dust off your Maasai shukas and get your floral shirts ready! Nairobi’s premier music and lifestyle festival, Blankets & Wine, is returning this June, and the lineup is nothing short of electric. This year, the festival is bringing a soulful West African touch to the stage, with Nigerian sensation Fave officially announced as the headliner.

Known for her hauntingly beautiful vocals and hits like “Baby Riddim,” Fave is set to bring that signature Afrobeats chill to Laurette Gardens on June 7th. Her debut in the 254 has been highly anticipated, and her melodic style is the perfect match for the festival’s laid-back, “blankets and wine” aesthetic.

But the magic doesn’t stop with international stars. The June series is leaning heavily into Kenyan excellence, featuring some of the biggest names currently dominating the airwaves. Genge tone legend Mejja is set to bring his unmatched energy to the stage. Fresh off the release of his latest album, Watendawili, “Okwonkwo” remains the king of storytelling and relatable anthems. Fans can expect a high-octane performance of his new hits that have been topping charts across the region.

Joining the party is the multi-talented Mutoriah. The RnB sensation and producer, known for his lush arrangements and smooth vocals, is guaranteed to set the mood for the afternoon. Adding to the soulful atmosphere is Serro, whose powerful voice and fusion of folk and contemporary sounds make her one of the most compelling live performers in Kenya today.

Whether you’re there for the cutting-edge fashion, the gourmet food, or the incredible music, this edition of Blankets & Wine promises an unforgettable blend of African talent. Grab your tickets early—this is one Sunday afternoon you won’t want to miss!
