Nigeria's premier live production company, Flytime Promotions, is marking a significant milestone in spectacular fashion as it announces an all-star lineup for its 21st anniversary celebration. The highly anticipated Flytime Fest 2025 will feature four of Nigeria's biggest music acts: Olamide, Davido, Asake, and Flavour as headliners.
Festival Schedule and Headliner Details
The four-day musical extravaganza will run from December 22 to December 25, 2025, at the prestigious Eko Convention Center in Lagos. Each day will showcase a different headline act, creating a diverse musical experience for attendees.
Highlife sensation Flavour will kick off the festivities on December 22, marking his first-ever headline appearance at Flytime Fest. Coming fresh from successful international tours across Europe and North America, Flavour is expected to deliver his signature highlife sound with the full live band experience that has earned him a dedicated global following.
Rap icon Olamide takes the stage on December 23, returning to the Flytime platform for another major headline performance. The YBNL boss remains a central figure in Nigerian hip-hop and continues to dominate the music scene with new releases, hit collaborations, and his proven track record of transforming street music into mainstream culture.
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Spectacles
Asake, one of Afrobeats' most exciting contemporary performers, will headline the Christmas Eve show on December 24. His meteoric rise over the past three years has positioned him as a must-see live act, and his 2025 Flytime slot is expected to continue his streak of sold-out performances.
Closing the festival on Christmas Day will be Davido, who brings his energetic stage presence to Lagos after a busy year that included the Nigerian leg of his 5ive Tour, multiple new collaborations, and several high-profile global appearances. Fans can expect the crowd-pulling performance that has become synonymous with the DMW boss.
Building on Previous Success
Flytime Fest has evolved from its origins as Coca Cola Rhythm Unplugged into a cultural institution that has propelled African entertainment for over two decades. The festival has served as a launching pad for numerous musical careers while attracting Afrobeats enthusiasts from around the world to Lagos every December.
Last year's edition featured one of the most diverse lineups in the festival's history, with international star Gunna making his first African headline appearance and Ayra Starr headlining her debut Nigerian concert following the success of her album 'The Year I Turned 21'. Olamide's 2024 return to the Flytime stage drew massive crowds of rap enthusiasts, while Davido's Christmas Eve performance showcased his extensive catalog of hits.
The 2024 festival attracted thousands of fans across its four-day run, setting high expectations for this year's 21st-anniversary celebration. Over the years, Flytime Fest has grown into more than just a concert series—it has become a December tradition that connects African music with global audiences, with many treating it as an annual pilgrimage to experience the best of Nigerian music culture.
