British-Nigerian singer and songwriter Mohammed Animashaun, popularly known as Moelogo, will headline ‘Yorùbá Healer Live’ in Lagos on December 20, 2026, with seven other acts billed to perform.

The lineup includes Oladapo, Amaeya, Boybreed, DOTTi The Deity, Kotrell, Zamorra and Liya.

In a statement announcing the event, organisers said the concert would bring the singer’s debut album, Yorùbá Healer, to the stage through live performances and cultural expression.

“Rooted in music, identity, ancestry, self-discovery and healing, the project explores the relationship between contemporary African music and the cultural heritage that informs it,” the statement read.

Released in July 2026, the album provides the foundation for the December show, which organisers described as a homecoming for the singer.

According to the statement, the concert will feature guest appearances, collaborations and DJ sets, alongside performances exploring the stories and personal reflections behind the project.

The show follows the release of Can Never Miss, an EP issued in October. Moelogo is also scheduled to release WYHMSL, a three-track project, on November 19.

The releases will expand the body of work available to audiences ahead of the Lagos concert.

Organisers said the event would bring together the singer’s fans and guests working across Nigeria’s music, entertainment, fashion, media and creative industries.

“Designed as an intimate yet energetic gathering, YORÙBÁ HEALER LIVE will attract a curated audience spanning Nigeria’s music, entertainment, fashion, media and creative industries, alongside Moelogo’s fans and wider creative community,” the statement added.

Beyond his recent releases, Moelogo had contributed to the soundtrack of Children of Blood and Bone, the film adaptation of Tomi Adeyemi’s fantasy novel.

The project has Nigerian singer Tems as executive music producer and curator of its soundtrack.

The organisers also announced plans for the YH Marketplace, a merchandise pop-up that will operate alongside the concert.

“The experience will extend beyond the stage through the YH Marketplace, a dedicated merchandise pop-up featuring exclusive YORÙBÁ HEALER merchandise and memorabilia,” the statement read.

A media and photography area is also planned, providing space for photographs, interviews and other content around the event.

Tickets will be available across different pricing tiers, with merchandise benefits attached to each category. However, the organisers said the pricing structure would not create separate admission classes.

“All tickets are standard admission, with no separate VIP category or VIP section,” the statement said.

“Depending on their ticket tier, attendees can redeem their ticket value towards merchandise purchases or enjoy discounts on selected limited-edition YORÙBÁ HEALER merchandise.”
