Kenyan singer and former Sauti Sol member Bien has been confirmed for the lineup of Afro+ Fest 2026, set to take place in the United States later this year.
The festival will feature a heavyweight roster that includes Lil Baby, Sexyy Red, Latto, Chief Keef, Alkaline, Davido, Wizkid, Tems, Tiwa Savage and Ayra Starr. Bien’s inclusion marks another major international booking for the East African artist as he continues to build his solo career following the success of his debut album Alusa Why Are You Topless?.
Known for blending Afro-pop, soul and contemporary African sounds, Bien has steadily expanded his reach through collaborations and performances beyond East Africa. Organisers highlighted his addition as part of a broader effort to present a more complete picture of African music on global stages.
The announcement reinforces the growing demand for East African voices alongside the dominant West African stars that have defined the Afrobeats wave. For Bien, the booking represents a significant opportunity to introduce his distinctive sound to new audiences across North America.
