The festival, which will feature five headline artistes, BNXN, FOLA, Oxlade, Ruger and Mr P, is scheduled to hold from December 16 to 23, offering entertainment enthusiasts multiple opportunities to enjoy live music performances during the popular Detty December season.
The Abuja edition will kick off on December 16 with FOLA Live at Bali Recreational Park, before the festival moves to Lagos for five consecutive nights of performances at The Lekki Coliseum.
In Lagos, BNXN will open the entertainment series on December 19 with his Still In Charge concert, while FOLA will take the stage on December 20 with Cloud 9.
Oxlade is scheduled to perform on December 21 with Plug The Ox, followed by Ruger, who will bring his energetic performance style to the festival on December 22 with his BlownBoy experience.
