Cotonou (Benin), November 11, 2026. The date said it all: on 11.11 at 11 a.m., at the Eya Center in Cotonou, WeLovEya launched its 5th edition before media, influencers and partners — and opened its box office right away. On December 26 and 27, the Place de l'Amazone will once again become the beating heart of Benin's biggest Afro-urban festival.
Four passes, one wristband
The box office is open on the official website, with four options — each one covers both days of the festival, with the RFID wristband that serves as ticket and on-site payment method:
- Standard: 10,000 FCFA
- Premium: 50,000 FCFA
- VIP: 150,000 FCFA
- Salon Élite: 4,500,000 FCFA — a private lounge for ten people
The line-up is still to come
No artist has been announced yet — and that is official: the festival says the full line-up will be released together with the schedule. The names circulating in fans' comments are only the public's requests. The wait is part of the game: Festival TV will follow the announcement as soon as it drops.
One ticket, one day of solidarity
WeLovEya keeps its generous soul: with EYA Care, one day of community solidarity action earns a ticket to the festival. The party builds bonds — the festival's signature since its first edition, in 2022.
