Hip-hop superstar Kendrick Lamar is set to headline an upcoming Global Citizen festival in Rwanda.

“Move Afrika: Rwanda” is scheduled to take place on December 6 at BK Arena in Rwanda’s capital city of Kigali.

In collaboration with the Rwanda Development Board, Kigali will host the event every year for the next five years. The plan is to include a new country in the tour each year, aiming to reach five countries by 2025.

“I am honored and humbled to play a meaningful role that supports new age global efforts to deal with health inequity, challenge poverty, and empower women and girls,” Global Citizen’s Africa Patron Tshepo Mahloele said in a press release.

In addition to Lamar, more regional artists will be announced for single-day event. Tickets for the event are available through the Global Citizen website.
