Davido will headline the Island iteration of the youth festival on 26 December, while Adekunle Gold a.k.a AG Baby will play the mainland event on New Year’s Day.
Davido’s headline appearance was unveiled today (13 December) ahead of the forthcoming events. The Afrobeats star – whose latest album, Timeless, dropped in March of this year – will be joined by the likes of ODUMODUBLVCK, Fave and Dopecaesar at the Island affair – dubbed the Timeless BlockParty – on 26 December in Lagos.
The festival’s own sound system crew will also be in attendance at the Island gathering featuring the likes of DJ Titanium, Maze x Mxtreme, and SmallztheDJ alongside Livewire, MIA, and Tolu Daniels on hype duties.
Elsewhere, on 1 January Adekunle Gold will take to the stage at the fifth anniversary edition of the festival’s Mainland event, dubbed #Mission24K. The celebration season events follow a recent sold-out USA iteration, held in November.
Speaking on the forthcoming events in a press release, BlockParty founder Tobi Mohammed said: “We couldn’t be more thrilled to have Davido and Adekunle Gold as our headliners for this festive season’s BlockParty events. This is our way of saying thank you to all those who have been a part of our journey since 2018, and it is symbolic of the amazing plans we have for the festival in 2024.”
