Music Festival Lagos Ready For Third Edition

After exciting and well-attended two editions, the Golden Tulip Festac and Five Star Music are working on the third edition of the Music Festival Lagos, which holds on March 6. The event, which will see the likes Tuface Idibia, Kcee, Timaya, Chidimma, Sound Sultan, Pato Ranking, Seyi Shay and a host of other artistes perform on stage, will thrill fans all through the night.

    Holding at the main arena of the Golden Tulip Hotel, FESTAC Town, will also host exciting new comers to the international stage, according to the Corporate Affairs Manager Emmanuel Ele. 

   “The festival once again invites artists and audience of all ages to experience music established as well as unconventional settings, exploring the dynamism among art forms, genres and cultures, and reflecting the encounter of tradition with the contemporary”

    He also noted that event will give Nigerians the opportunity to choose who they want to see perform while celebrating the icons in the industry.          

   “Last year, we had over 9,000 people in attendance, this year, we are expecting about 12,000, while putting in place adequate security measures to cater for the large number”

  According to the General Manager Golden Tulip, Mr. Marcel Andeweg, the success of the event will mean a lot of tourism in Lagos and will further expose Festac as a great destination for both business and pleasure. And with the number of people who attend this programme annually, it now stands as an event to look out for following the FESTAC 77. 

    “This event will also give opportunity to young artistes to share the stage with famous artistes and it is my hope that these young artistes will also step up to these platforms and get their names out there. Nigeria stands as one of the largest countries in the world and is socially active; it is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the rich culture of a great country.”
