Lagos will make headlines again as host of an international music festival – the Gidi Cultural Festival.
Slated for March 26 at the Eko Atlantic, organisers say the event
will feature a line-up of top and up and coming acts from Nigeria and
South Africa, including Davido, Tiwa Savage, Phyno, Yemi Alade, Timaya,
as well as South Africa’s K.O and Riky Rick who will be performing in
Nigeria for the first time.
The festival’s founder, Chin Okeke, describes the show as one that
defines the progression of music and urban youth culture in Africa.
“The festival was naturally born in Lagos because the city is the
melting pot of the continent, yet it maintains a global outlook. Our
lineup represents the current crop of African music stars,” said Okeke
Produced by Eclipse Live Africa, Gidi Fest is also expected to
feature the likes of Adekunle Gold, Small Doctor and disc jockeys.
