The 20th edition of Flytime Music Festival going down from 22nd – 25th December in Lagos is set to be a special one as the West Africa’s longest-running music festival brand will be celebrating its 20th anniversary.

 In their usual grand way, they have lined up both local and international music powerhouses to commemorate the landmark event. The lineup includes four-time Grammy-nominated Davido, Nigerian rap legend Olamide, and Afro-pop sensation Ayra Starr headlining her first solo concert after her tour with Coldplay. Also on the bill is international artist Gunna’s debut performance in Africa.

Flytime has been a champion of Afrobeats long before it became a global sensation- bridging cultures by bringing international stars like Ashanti, Roddy Ricch, and Craig David to African audiences during their peak. Notably, it was at Rhythm Unplugged where Wizkid first saw Tems, leading to their collaboration on the hit song “Essence.”
