Asake announces Lagos homecoming concert as tickets sell for up to N20m

 

Afrobeats star Asake will return to Lagos on December 20, 2026, for a headline concert at Oasis Ground, Victoria Island, with ticket prices ranging from N100,000 for general access to N20 million for the most exclusive table package.

The show, which will close the ten-day Future Fest ’26 cultural festival running from December 11 to 20, marks Asake’s first major Lagos headline performance since his sold-out Flytime Fest show on Christmas Eve 2025 .

According to a ticketing page circulating online, the concert has six tiers: General Access at N100,000, Bleachers at N200,000, VIP Bleachers at N250,000, and VVIP Bleachers at N300,000. At the top end, a Gold Table goes for N10 million, while a Platinum Table costs N20 million .

The pricing reflects Asake’s soaring commercial profile. The singer, born Ahmed Ololade, has become one of the defining voices of contemporary Nigerian music since joining YBNL Nation in 2022.

The Lagos show follows a landmark year for Asake. He released his fourth album, *M$NEY*, on May 1, 2026—the first full-length project under his own Giran Republic label in partnership with EMPIRE .

The album recorded the biggest opening week for an African album on Spotify, with about 56 million streams, and a Spotify Nigeria opening-week record of 37.5 million. It went on to overtake *Lungu Boy* as the longest-running number one in Nigeria .

That success fed the *In God We Trust* world tour. The North American arena leg ran from August 20 to September 6, with Uncle Waffles opening. In London on October 15, Asake sold out the 20,000-capacity O2 Arena for the third time, with BNXN and TxC in support and a surprise appearance from Blaqbonez .

The tour ended at Paris’s Accor Arena on October 24. A Los Angeles date at the Greek Theatre was cancelled in September without a detailed public explanation .

Lagos will be a homecoming of sorts. Asake last headlined the city at Flytime Fest on Christmas Eve 2025, his first major Lagos headline show in two years. He played to a sold-out crowd of about 20,000 and brought out Olamide, Zlatan and fuji legend King Saheed Osupa .

The Future Fest lineup adds some intrigue. Olamide is bringing back YBNL Nation for “YBNL: The Reunion” on December 18 at the same venue, with Adekunle Gold, Fireboy DML, Lil Kesh, Young Jonn and Pheelz on the bill.

Asake, who left the label before starting Giran Republic, is not listed, and fans have noticed. Neither side has commented on the omission .

Asake rose to mainstream prominence in 2022 after joining YBNL Nation. His breakthrough came with the release of *Ololade Asake*, an EP that introduced listeners to songs including “Omo Ope,” featuring Olamide, and “Sungba.”

He followed the project with his debut studio album, *Mr Money With The Vibe*, released in September 2022. The album featured tracks such as “Organise,” “Joha,” “Terminator” and “Peace Be Unto You.”

In 2023, he released his second album, *Work of Art*, which included the hit songs “Lonely At The Top,” “Amapiano” featuring Olamide, and “2:30.” His third studio album, *Lungu Boy*, arrived in August 2024, featuring collaborations with Wizkid, Travis Scott, Stormzy and Central Cee .
