The atmosphere soared when Asake welcomed a series of surprise guests. His longtime mentor, Olamide, joined him on stage for an explosive back-to-back performance that highlighted their long-standing musical bond and shared roots.
Zlatan Ibile followed with a high-energy rendition of “Bust Down,” sending the crowd into a frenzy, while Fuji icon King Saheed Osupa brought a cultural edge, fusing traditional Fuji elements with modern Afrobeats rhythms.
The show was further elevated by dramatic pyrotechnics and a live orchestra, adding grandeur and depth to the performance and transforming the concert into a full-scale spectacle.

Fresh from a successful international tour, Asake’s Lagos homecoming reinforced his status as one of Afrobeats’ most captivating live performers. His command of the stage and strong connection with fans reflected both his global rise and the unwavering support he enjoys at home.
Asake’s set emerged as one of the defining moments of Flytime Fest 2025, setting a high bar ahead of the festival’s grand finale headlined by Davido on Christmas Day.
Flytime Fest 2025 runs from December 22 to 25, with Flavour opening the festival on December 22, Olamide headlining on December 23, Asake leading the Christmas Eve show, and Davido closing the event on December 25.
For over two decades, Coca-Cola Rhythm Unplugged, Flytime Fest’s flagship concert, has remained a cornerstone of Nigeria’s live music scene. It has consistently served as a platform for major careers while drawing Afrobeats fans from across Nigeria and the diaspora to Lagos every December.
Now firmly established as a cultural movement, Flytime Fest continues to connect African music with global audiences, turning December in Lagos into a season many fans plan their entire year around.
