Flytime Fest has been a powerhouse of some of Africa’s most iconic music moments. December 2024 was a bang with its celebration of years of unforgettable vibes.

From the 22nd to the 25th of December, Lagos was the place to be. The Eko Convention Center transformed into a haven for music lovers, with a lineup that screamed epic. And it all kicked off with Gunna, the Grammy-nominated US rapper making his first-ever African headline performance.

But Flytime isn’t just about booking big names—it’s about bridging worlds. Over the years, Flytime Fest has become the ultimate meeting ground for African artists and global superstars. While Nigerian icons like Olamide and Davido light up the stage with their legendary hits, international acts are stepping up to vibe with the world’s most energetic crowd. Flytime is proof that music really is a universal language.

But the massive turnout witnessed this is only a sign of bigger things to come. With a promising new crop of artists such as Skelvin, Macara Vibes, and Xpensive Peter poised to define the future of Nigerian music with their unusual vibes, we expect them to take on big stages on Flytime Fest and notable stages next year.

Bhimfest 2024 has come and gone, but its effect still lingers.

It was a cultural explosion that left music lovers in awe. Davido and Stonebwoy—two of Africa’s biggest artists made the magic, combining the rhythmic waves of Ghana's stunning coastline, and the infectious energy of Afrobeat

The crowd weren’t just watching; they were living the moment. Every time Davido belted out a hit or Stonebwoy flexed his signature dreadlocks during a power move, the energy multiplied. People danced like it was the last night on earth, proving once again that music has no borders.

Bhimfest brings to mind what happens when African talent takes center stage. This sparks the imagination of more possibilities with the new crop of musicians from both countries who are ready to take over. Imagine a reenactment of Bhimfest next year through Skelvin and Addi Self—Afrobeats meeting Dancehall as both countries unify in another show of magic.

We believe the reign of African music is not ending anytime soon, and it is only through the continuation of legacies through the next generation that it can be sustained.
