The festival’s headliners include Davido, Tiwa Savage, Phyno, Yemi Alade and Timaya, while South Africa’s, K.O and Riky Rick will be coming to Nigeria for the first time to grace the stage, with opening acts in the persons of Adekunle Gold and Small Doctor.
Hosts for Gidi Fest 2016 include MTV Base VJ’s, Nomuzi from South Africa and Nigeria’s very own, Ehiz, alongside City FM OAP, Sensei Uche.
DJ Obi and DJ Kaywise will be on the decks with some comic relief from a couple of your favourite comedians, promising an astounding show with amazing vibes.
Speaking on the event, founder, Chin Okeke says,
“Gidi Fest is a music festival that defines the progression of music and urban youth culture in Africa. The festival was naturally born in Lagos because the city is the melting pot of the continent, yet it maintains a global outlook. Our lineup represents the current crop of African music stars.”
This year the Flow with The Beat competition is back by popular demand, giving up and coming talent a chance to perform live on the Gidi Fest 2016 stage and feature in the Gidi Cypher with festival artists.
Everyone has a chance to #LiveYourMusic by downloading the Gidi Cypher beat produced by DJ Chopstix, flowing over the beat and sending it in to the Gidi Fest team for review.
