Grammy-winning South African DJ and producer Black Coffee will perform in Lagos on April 5, 2026.
The event is being organised by M:E Entertainment in partnership with DAPO and is expected to bring together electronic music fans for a night centred on afro-house and global club sounds.
Born Nkosinathi Innocent Maphumulo in Durban, South Africa, Black Coffee has become one of the most influential figures in electronic music. Over the years, he has helped push afro-house beyond African audiences, performing at some of the world’s most recognised music venues and festivals.
His career has taken him to major global stages, including clubs and music spaces in Ibiza, New York, and Amsterdam, where he has built a reputation for blending deep house, soulful rhythms, and African musical influences.
The Lagos show marks another stop in his international touring schedule and reflects the growing interest in electronic music within Nigeria’s entertainment scene.
While Lagos has long been regarded as the centre of Afrobeats, organisers say the city’s nightlife culture has increasingly embraced house and electronic music in recent years. According to them, a community of DJs, promoters and fans has been steadily building a scene that now attracts international attention.
M:E Entertainment said the upcoming show is part of its effort to promote electronic music experiences in Nigeria and position Lagos as a destination for global DJ performances.
The organisers also referenced a previous event held in Lagos that featured German DJ Rampa. That show drew attention after surprise appearances by Nigerian music stars Burna Boy and Olamide.
Speaking about the upcoming event, representatives of M:E Entertainment said the response to their earlier show demonstrated the strong appetite for electronic music in the city.
DAPO, which is partnering on the event, also said the goal is to continue building Lagos’ reputation within the international electronic music circuit.
According to the organisers, bringing globally recognised DJs to the city could help strengthen connections between African electronic music scenes and introduce wider audiences to afro-house sounds.
The April 5 performance is expected to draw music fans, nightlife enthusiasts and industry figures from across Lagos and beyond.
Further details about the venue and ticket arrangements are expected to be announced by the organisers ahead of the event.
