If you’ve ever experienced Detty December in Lagos, you know it’s not for the weak. It’s that time of the year when sleep is optional, traffic becomes a spiritual battle, and your body starts asking if you’re truly ready for the lifestyle you claim to live.

But let’s be honest, December in Lagos without concerts is like jollof without pepper. It’s just not complete.

And 2025? Oh, this year is gearing up to be premium madness. Artists are already lining up shows that will shake Eko for real, and if you’re planning to join the fun, you need to know where and when to show up.

So grab your calendar, and let’s walk through the 5 Detty December concerts you absolutely cannot afford to miss in 2025.

Top 5 Detty December Concerts for This Festive Season

1. Davido 5ive Tour – Flytime Fest, Eko Convention Centre

Date: 25th December

Look, Detty December wouldn’t be complete without Davido screaming, “Are you ready?!?” at the top of his lungs while the crowd responds as if their rent isn’t due in January. The Davido 5ive Tour, arriving on Christmas Day, perfectly exemplifies the vibrant spirit of Lagos.

Expect energy. Expect live band excellence. Expect to lose your voice. Expect to see people wearing sunglasses indoors at 10 pm. And because it’s Flytime Fest, the production will definitely be sharp enough to make you forget how much you spent on tickets.

If you want a Christmas night that feels like a movie, this is the one. Lagos will shake. The internet will shake. Even your legs will shake as you dance, whether you want to or not.

2. Asake Homecoming Concert – Flytime Fest, Eko Convention Centre

Date: 24th December

Asake’s homecoming concert? Just prepare your body. This is not the night to wear tight shoes or come with “calm night out” expectations. No, please. This is Asake.

When the choir kicks in, when the Fuji-infused drums drop, and the lights hit the crowd, just know you’re about to experience a genuine out-of-body moment.

Flytime Fest hosting him again means two things:

The show will be madness.
Traffic will be mad too.

But is it worth it? Absolutely.

This concert is the kind of night you’ll still talk about in February when you’re pretending to be serious with New Year’s resolutions.

3. BNXN Live in Concert – Landmark Event Centre

Date: 19th December

BNXN (or Buju, depending on how long you’ve been a loyal fan) knows how to turn a concert into a soft, emotional, “I remember my ex, but I will not call them” kind of night.

His concerts are for people who want vibes, smooth music, and that warm feeling in the chest that you can’t explain. And Landmark Event Centre is the perfect spot – spacious, breezy, and close enough to the ocean to remind you that life is truly not that deep.

Expect live vocals. Expect crowds singing word-for-word. Expect somebody beside you to do a little shoulder-shaking as if the spirit has touched them.

It’s the perfect way to start warming up your December groove before the real thing begins.

4. Flavour at Flytime Fest – Eko Convention Centre

Date: 22nd December

If you’ve never seen Flavour perform live, this is your chance to correct that mistake. The man does not perform; he ministers. His energy is elite. His band is elite. His waist is… well, you already know.

Flavour’s concerts are the sweet spot between high-quality live music and full cultural enjoyment. The blend of highlife and Afrobeats is always a beautiful experience.

At Flytime Fest, expect full instrumentation, dancers, and that signature Flavour charm that makes the entire hall feel like a festival village. Whether you’re Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, or “I just came for vibes”, you’ll feel at home.

This is the show you should confidently attend.

5. Juma Jux Live in Concert – Illubirin, Ikoyi, Lagos

Date: 18th December

Juma Jux performing in Lagos is like inviting romance itself into the city. This man sings love songs the way Nigerians love enjoyment, passionately and without fear.

Now imagine him performing at Ilubirin in Ikoyi, a location that already wears luxury like a badge. The city lights, the calm breeze, the soft December weather… It’s giving date night, it’s showing “decorum,” it’s giving “I deserve a soft life.”

This gig is not your “jump jump” concert. No. This one is for slow wines, steady vibes, and people who know how to enjoy premium music without sweating like they’re in a gym.

If you want a December night that feels like a romantic movie scene, go here.

Which One Should You Choose?

Honestly? Choose all five if your account balance can handle it. But if you’re trying to be strategic:

For high energy: Davido & Asake
For soft vibes: BNXN & Juma Jux
For cultural richness and live band magic: Flavour

Detty December 2025 is looking loaded. Lagos is ready… the real question is: are you?
