American rap sensation Gunna is set to bring the heat to Lagos this festive season, headlining the 2025 Detty December Fest as part of his global WUNNA World Tour.
The chart-topping star, the voice behind smash hits like Fukumean and Drip Too Hard, will take over the Ilubirin waterfront in Ikoyi on Monday, December 29, 2025, turning one of Lagos’ most scenic spots into a full-blown hip-hop spectacle.
For many fans, this feels like a long-awaited reunion. Gunna last performed in Lagos in 2023, a night still remembered for its energy and unforgettable crowd moments.
Two years later, the buzz is even louder. With holidaymakers and music lovers streaming into the city, his show is shaping up to be one of the true highlights of the December celebrations.
Running from December 6 to 31, Detty December Fest, powered by Livespot, has evolved into far more than a concert series. It’s now a full cultural carnival, blending music, nightlife, fashion, art, and immersive experiences across its Ilubirin venue and the Livespot Entertarium.
This year’s festival carries an extra stamp of pride: official endorsement from the Nigerian government, cementing its status as a pillar of the nation’s creative and tourism industries.
Gunna’s Lagos show also comes with heavyweight company. Joining him on stage will be American rap icon Busta Rhymes, Tanzanian R&B star Juma Jux, and Nigerian street-pop favourite Bella Shmurda. This lineup has only intensified public excitement as the month of December draws near.
The mix of international and African acts promises a night rich in culture, rhythm, and global vibes.
Tickets for the December 29 performance, along with other festival events, are already available on the official Detty December Fest website, and organizers are urging fans to grab theirs early as demand continues to soar.
The announcement of Gunna’s appearance arrives on the heels of renewed buzz around Juma Jux joining the festival lineup, a highlight that recently made waves in a growing YouTube update on the 2025 edition.
With anticipation mounting and Lagos gearing up for its signature end-of-year magic, Gunna’s return is poised to be one of the defining moments of Detty December.
