An evening of exceptional whisky, contemporary Nigerian culture, entertainment and style brought together tastemakers and distinguished guests ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix.

Glenfiddich BEYOND brought the anticipation of the Singapore Grand Prix to Abuja with an exclusive “Night Before the Race” experience on October 10, 2026. The gathering brought together distinguished guests, celebrities, tastemakers and culture enthusiasts for an evening celebrating the intersection of premium whisky, contemporary culture, entertainment and style.

Conceived as a pre-race celebration ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix on October 11, the Abuja experience extended the Glenfiddich BEYOND narrative beyond the traditional whisky occasion, creating a space where culture, personality and shared experiences took centre stage.

Among the notable personalities in attendance were Nancy Isime, Swanky Jerry and Ifeanyi Nwune, Glenfiddich collaborators, whose presence reinforced the campaign’s connection with influential voices across entertainment, fashion and contemporary Nigerian culture.

A key highlight of the evening was the Best Dressed Male and Female recognition, presented by Nancy Isime and Sonke Jerry. The moment celebrated guests whose style and individuality stood out, reinforcing fashion as an integral part of the event’s wider cultural expression.

The experience also featured a dedicated chess room, offering guests an opportunity to engage in a more relaxed and interactive setting, alongside a live musical performance by Nigerian rapper and entertainer Ikechukwu, which brought an additional layer of energy to the evening.

Through its carefully curated atmosphere, entertainment and guest experience, Glenfiddich BEYOND created a setting that reflected the anticipation and sophistication associated with race weekend. The Abuja gathering offered guests an opportunity to connect, celebrate personal expression and enjoy a distinctive cultural moment on the eve of one of motorsport’s most celebrated events.

The Abuja experience followed the Glenfiddich BEYOND gathering in Lagos on October 3, extending the campaign’s engagement with Nigeria’s creative and cultural communities through distinct city experiences. While Lagos introduced the campaign through a launch centred on craftsmanship and original Nigerian expression, Abuja adopted a different perspective, drawing on the anticipation of race day and the social energy surrounding the Singapore Grand Prix.

At the heart of Glenfiddich BEYOND is a celebration of craft, individuality and the pursuit of new possibilities. By bringing together its collaborators and personalities from entertainment, fashion and culture, the Abuja experience reflected the brand’s continued engagement with audiences who appreciate distinctive experiences and the freedom to express themselves.

The “Night Before the Race” gathering underscored Glenfiddich BEYOND’s commitment to creating meaningful cultural connections, demonstrating how premium whisky can intersect with fashion, music, entertainment and global sporting moments to create experiences that resonate with contemporary Nigerian audiences.
