Africa Oyé announces official afterparties

When Africa Oyé wraps up at Sefton Park this weekend, festival-goers are invited to a host of fantastic events that Liverpool-based promoters and venues have put together to keep everyone dancing into the small hours.

On what is the organisation’s 30th anniversary year, there will be FOUR official after-parties for the Oyé festival, featuring music spanning Afrobeat, High Life, Reggae, Dub, Afro house, Afro funk, jazz, soul and world sounds.

A percentage of proceeds from these parties will also go towards supporting next year’s festival, helping to keep Oyé free and open to all.
