A major celebration of Nigerian music is set to take centre stage later this month as 2Baba announces a landmark concert commemorating his 25 years in the industry.

The event, titled “The 2Baba Experience,” is scheduled for March 29, 2026, at Eko Hotel & Suites, and is expected to draw music lovers, industry stakeholders, and top performers from across Africa and beyond.

Organisers describe the concert as both a celebration and a reflection point for the evolution of Nigerian and African music on the global stage. Over the past two and a half decades, 2Baba has remained a defining figure in the industry, widely regarded for his role in shaping the sound and international appeal of contemporary Nigerian music.

Beyond honouring his personal journey, the event will spotlight the growth of Afrobeats and recognise the contributions of artists who continue to expand the global reach of the genre. The concert is expected to feature performances spanning multiple generations, bringing together established stars and emerging talents in a showcase of Nigeria’s cultural influence.

As part of the programme, 2Baba is also set to acknowledge contemporary acts who have played significant roles in promoting African music worldwide, reinforcing the event’s broader focus on industry impact rather than individual achievement.

Speaking ahead of the concert, the music icon noted that the celebration goes beyond his career. He emphasised that it represents the collective journey of African music and the many artists who have contributed to its global rise over the years.

Attendees can expect an evening of live performances, surprise guest appearances, and curated moments highlighting the legacy and future of Nigerian music. Additional details, including the full lineup of performers, ticketing information, and event partners, are expected to be released in the coming weeks.
