Africa Oyé

Africa Oyé

Africa Oyé is the largest free live African music festival in the UK and is held in June annually in Liverpool, England. It is held in Sefton Park and showcases up-and-coming African and Caribbean artists, as well as presenting already famous artists, such as Bonga and Luciano.

Africa Oyé has been the site of the U.K. débuts of bands such as Tinariwen, Ba Cissoko and more.

Now in its 14th year, Africa Oyé has attracted a wealth of international artists to Merseyside, in a family-friendly celebration of cultural diversity.
