Events in Ibadan: tickets, venues and what is on
Ibadan mixes the oldest city energy in the South West with one of the youngest crowds in the country, thanks to the university population. That combination produces a calendar of student nights, owambe, comedy shows, cultural festivals and a fast-growing live music scene.
Prices here are noticeably friendlier than Lagos, and events fill on the strength of the line-up rather than the postcode.
