Wizkid Teases Lagos Concert After Two-Year Hiatus
Fans of Nigerian superstar Wizkid are buzzing with excitement as the artist hints at a possible concert in Lagos this December. The news comes via an Instagram post on November 26, 2024, where Wizkid shared a photo of himself captioned simply, “Lagos December.”
The cryptic post has ignited speculation that the Grammy-nominated artist might be gearing up for his first Lagos performance since 2022, when he headlined a Flytime Fest concert. This potential concert would mark a highly anticipated return to Lagos, particularly after Wizkid previously suggested that his 2022 performance would be the last time fans in the city would have to pay to see him live.
A Stellar Comeback
The announcement comes hot on the heels of Wizkid’s latest album, Morayo, his sixth LP and eighth project overall, which has been making waves since its release. The 16-track album boasts collaborations with big names like Afrobeats sensation Asake, French stars Tiakola and Anais Cardot, and American artists Jasmine Sullivan and Brent Faiyaz.
Morayo has already set records, becoming the Nigerian album with the biggest opening day streams on Spotify, further cementing Wizkid’s place as one of Africa’s most celebrated artists.
Lagos on the Tour Map?
With Morayo poised for a global tour, Lagos may be the first city to witness Wizkid’s live renditions of tracks from the album. Fans are eager to see if he will perform hits from Morayo alongside his vast catalog of Afrobeats classics.
The prospect of a December concert aligns with Lagos’s festive culture, where music and live performances dominate the holiday season. Wizkid’s return would undoubtedly be a highlight, attracting fans from across the country.
Fans Are Ready
Social media is already abuzz with excitement as fans speculate on what to expect from the potential concert. Many are holding onto hope that Wizkid will not only bring the energy but also deliver on his previous promise of making Lagos performances accessible to all his fans.
If confirmed, this concert will undoubtedly be one of the most anticipated events of the year, marking another milestone in Wizkid’s illustrious career.
