Alcohol’s lightweight feels easily takes credit for directly inspiring the majority of songs—particularly in Afropop’s nimble territories. So it only makes sense that Smirnoff, one of the biggest liquor franchise has tried to merge their brand with the music industry in Nigeria. Their investment in music through organized shows that allow music fans experience music is one of the few instances of truth in advertising. And earlier today, they called a press conference to announce a nationwide tour that promises to bring your favorite artists to venue near you.

The X1 Tour is expected to help generate publicity for two of the latest flavors of their drink; the Smirnoff X1 extra smooth vodka and the Smirnoff X1 intense chocolate flavoured vodka. To ensure that the experience is as fun as it is advertised, artists such as M.I, Wande Coal, Niniola, Illbliss, Yung L, Timaya, Zoro and more are expected to turn up for the tour that will touch on 7 different states.

Brand ambassador, DJ Spinall will be the official DJ at all shows including his recently released Dreams album’s launch party—essentially making 8 shows where the music can be experienced along with the buzz of a DJ Spinall’s favorite vodka.
