AFROPUNK is returning to Brooklyn this summer, but at a new venue and with a new theme. The two-day festival is ditching its old stomping grounds in Commodore Barry Park for the Greenpoint Terminal Market, where they’ll introduce their new theme, “CIRCUS OF SOUL – transforming the riverside blacktop into a carnivalesque exhibition that spotlights all aspects of Black creativity, soundtracked by music that speaks to the heart of the Black experience.”
This year’s festival will take place on Saturday, August 26 and Sunday, August 27, with Jazmine Sullivan and Flying Lotus taking the two headlining spots. Other FADER favorites featured on the lineup include Sudan Archives, Vince Staples, Joey Bada$$, Baby Tate, and Madison McFerrin.
