Events in Lagos: tickets, venues and what is on

Lagos runs the busiest event calendar in West Africa. On any given weekend there are Afrobeats concerts, rooftop parties, day-time brunches, tech conferences, comedy shows, art fairs and beach raves competing for the same Saturday night, and the best of them sell out days in advance.

The city splits into scenes. Victoria Island and Ikoyi lean polished — lounges, galas, corporate conferences and album listenings. Lekki is where most of the big parties and brunches sit. The Mainland, from Yaba to Surulere, carries the alternative and student crowd and some of the most interesting live music in the country.
