Scheduled to run from December 18 to 20, the festival promises an immersive blend of culture, music, innovation and artistry, drawing in local and global audiences alike.
Positioned as a convergence point for leading thinkers, creative disruptors and cultural influencers, the festival aims to celebrate Africa’s evolving cultural landscape while showcasing homegrown talent on an unprecedented scale. The three-day event will feature multiple performances, interactive showcases and curated experiences designed to highlight the continent’s vibrant artistic energy.
Omah Lay’s involvement is generating major buzz, especially following what has been a groundbreaking year for the superstar. The singer recently earned his first-ever Grammy nomination for his collaboration with Davido on the track “With You.” The hit song, already hugely beloved by fans, was also officially announced as Nigeria’s most streamed song on Spotify, cementing Omah Lay’s place as one of the country’s most influential musical figures at the moment.
The organisers expressed their excitement about hosting him, stressing the significance of his participation. In their words, “We’re excited that Omah Lay chose the Motherland stage as his only Lagos show this December.” They noted that his performance will be a major highlight, given the remarkable strides he has made within the year.
According to the festival’s co-founders, the goal is to provide fans from across the world with a rare opportunity to celebrate Omah Lay’s achievements in a setting that represents the heart of African music. “Fans from around the world will get their chance to celebrate the huge year he’s had in the centre of Afro-fusion and Afrobeats. Alongside the Seyi Vibez, The Cavemen, Odumodu Blvck, Qing Madi, Mavo, DJ Obi, and more, Omah Lay will be giving our attendees a show they’ll never forget,” they added.
The lineup promises a rich blend of established and rising stars, ensuring a wide musical variety that reflects today’s evolving Nigerian and African soundscape. With artists like Seyi Vibez, The Cavemen, Odumodu Blvck, Qing Madi, Mavo, and DJ Obi, the festival is shaping up to be one of the most diverse and dynamic year-end events in Lagos.
Motherland Festival is proudly sponsored by First Bank, reinforcing its ambition to deliver a world-class production with strong institutional support. The event will take place at the Motherland Grounds, located beside Oriental Hotel — a venue known for hosting major entertainment and cultural gatherings in the city.
With high expectations, an impressive artist roster, and a fast-growing global audience eager to experience authentic African creativity, the inaugural Motherland Festival is set to become a defining moment for Lagos’ December festivities. Fans can look forward to a memorable celebration as Omah Lay and other performers bring unmatched energy to this highly anticipated cultural showcase.
