12 live events Nigerian brands should consider for partnerships this December
You may have heard that people do not just want products, but they want an experience. This is partially true. Because, while people do want to buy an experience, the right experience helps to affirm or promote the brand reputation and improves brand loyalty. And yes, they will buy the product.
Collaborating with the right partner and event organiser can help attract new audiences, decrease costs, and boost brand authority. Of course, Nigerians love to party, and this is why the holidays are always jampacked with mindblowing performances, sponsorships and exciting stories. For marketers, it also provides an opportunity to reach new markets, reward loyal customers, and maybe grab national headlines.

Icons Fest
Icons Fest with Laycon will surely be one of those big shows that people talk about on social media days after, knowing the crowd Laycon pulls since he emerged winner of the Big Brother Naija show. It comes as cheap as N5,000 naira, or you can get a table for 1 million naira on December 17, 2021. It is for the Icons!
Icon Fest is a celebration of the journey of Laycon through his music.
Wizkid Live in Abuja
Clash of the titans? While Laycon is taking fans through his journey in music, one of Africa’s exports, Wizkid is entertaining residents of Abuja. This will show that Wizkid can pull a large crowd at 02 and home. You don’t want your brand to be part of this chapter in history? Then, you must be fun at office meetings.
Having the biggest song of the summer, and making it to the Billboard top 10, a Wizkid show is very much deserved, especially in his motherland.
Livespot X Festival
LivespotX Festival is a string of hybrid events that feature live headline acts, special acts, pristine sound, world-class lighting, immersive experiences, exotic cuisine, and more. From December 17 – 24, it will have over 50 performances planned, including Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, Tems and over 30,000 attendees expected over six days.
Òwámbẹ
There are events marketing teams should not miss, and Òwámbẹ is one. Yes, we said what we said. The (I Said What I Said) ISWIS team is having a party – A Lagos Owambe.

There will be food, drinks, and music on December 18, 2021, at Ikoyi, Lagos.
Davido Live in Abuja
When Wizkid is done thrilling music lovers in Abuja, Davido will take over two days after. Maybe residents of Abuja will have more stories for their detty December than Lagos residents. The most challenging assignment anyone can be given is to list all of Davido’s hit songs. Hence, it is only fitting that Davido reminds us he’s the “baddest” ever to do it through this concert. It is happening at Harrow Park – the same venue as Wizkid’s. So, you could go there with a mat and stove on December 17 and keep selling and communicating with the audience until December 19.
