Davido Adekunle Gold, renowned Afrobeats singers, are slated to headline ‘The BlockParty’ youth festivals in Lagos.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the event organizers revealed that the festival is scheduled for December 26 and January 1, 2024.
According to the statement, Davido will headline the Lagos Island iteration of the event, themed ‘Timeless BlockParty’ on December 26.
The Grammy-nominated singer will share the stage with other musicians such as Fave, Odumodublvck, Shallipopi, Victony, and Dopecaesar.
Adekunle Gold, on the other hand, will be the main act for the Lagos Mainland BlockParty’s fifth-anniversary celebration on New Year’s Day.
“OBO will be joined by other top talents, ensuring a diverse and exciting lineup that reflects the richness of Africa’s music scene,” the statement reads.
The event will also showcase the BlockParty SoundSystem, featuring an exceptional lineup of DJs and hype men, all celebrated figures in the music and entertainment industry.
The BlockParty radio includes budding disc jockeys – DJ Titanium, Maze x Mxtreme, and SmallztheDJ – who are poised to captivate audiences and keep the dance floor alive all night.
The trio of hype men – Livewire, MIA, and Tolu Daniels, will engage the crowd, creating a charged atmosphere and ensuring every moment is filled with exhilaration and enthusiasm.
Tobi Mohammed, founder of BlockParty and managing partner at The Plug, expressed excitement about having the Afrobeats stars as headliners for the event.
“This is our way of saying thank you to all those who have been a part of our journey since 2018, and it is symbolic of the amazing plans we have for the festival in 2024,” he said.
“We are confident that these two events will be a highlight of the year for all attendees.”
