For a number of reasons, 2020 did not have the experiences that make the Christmas period in Lagos one of the most eagerly-anticipated parts of the year. Due to the shuttering effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken by governments everywhere, live performances were put on hold. However, just 12 months after, things seem to be picking up with a full slate of activities lined up for the year-end. 

One of the activities that is signaling the return of the Lagos December experience to a form of normalcy is the return of legendary show, Rhythm Unplugged, to social calendars. Set to hold across an entire week, the favourite December music ritual certainly makes its return with a memorable bang this year with a lineup that features a talented spate of Nigerian and African talent.

As the one-week affair draws to a close, its star-studded lineup gets more interesting including tonight’s show which will feature performances from British-Nigerian rapper, Tion Wayne, and indie cult hero, Lancey Foux. For Tion Wayne, the event will be a strong end to a year that saw him release his fourth album, ‘Green With Envy,’ headlined by the Davido-featuring “Who’s True” while Foux has drawn praise for his highly-lyrical escapist grime-influenced rap particularly on his recent album ‘LIVE.EVIL’. The British stars will be joined by a selection of Nigerian Afropop stars including Rema, Fireboy DML, Buju, Ladipoe, Blaqbonez, Ruger, and Mayorkun among others.
