The 2025 edition, held in partnership with international music label Gamma Records, opened with a DJ relay before Peruzzi took the stage.

Performing tracks such as Somebody Baby and Majesty, he set a grounded, melodic tone that immediately connected with the audience.

The mood shifted with veteran singer 9ice, whose reflective storytelling over hits like Gongo Aso and Street Credibility created one of the night’s most communal moments.

Terry G followed, delivering a restless, genre-bending set that reminded the crowd of his enduring influence on Nigerian pop music.

Closing the night, FOLA pushed the boundaries of sound and experimentation, offering a glimpse into the future of Nigerian music.

As the final notes faded, the audience lingered, reluctant to let the night end a fitting finale to a concert celebrating evolution over nostalgia.

The event attracted prominent figures from Nigeria’s creative ecosystem, including Larry Gaaga, Vice President and General Manager of Gamma in Africa, as well as filmmakers, fashion designers, and entertainers such as Osi Suave, Charles Okpaleke, Ike Onyema, Seyi Classic, Fola David, Shaun Okojie, Mide Iwasokun, Chimezie Imo, and Efe Tommy.

Their presence highlighted the concert’s role as a hub for cultural exchange and collaboration.
