The organizers of the Headies Awards have officially postponed the 17th edition of the prestigious ceremony, which was initially set for April 5, 2025.
In a statement released on social media, the event has now been rescheduled to April 27, 2025, due to unforeseen circumstances.
Confirming the change, the organisers assured fans and industry stakeholders that the award show remains on track to deliver an unforgettable experience. Their official statement read:
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, we regret to announce that the 17th Headies has been rescheduled from April 5th to Sunday, April 27th, 2025. We understand that many of you may have already made arrangements for the original date, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please know that our commitment to delivering an exceptional experience at The Headies remains unwavering. We are excited to bring you an unforgettable evening of music, glamour, and excitement on April 27th. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.”
This development comes shortly after the announcement of the nominees for the 17th edition, further heightening anticipation for the awards night.
With the Headies returning to Nigeria after two years of being hosted abroad, fans and industry players eagerly await a thrilling event featuring top-tier performances and a celebration of musical excellence.
Founded in 2006, the Headies Awards have grown to become one of the most significant platforms for recognising Nigerian and African music talent.
The last edition, held in Atlanta, USA, was the second time the ceremony was hosted outside Nigeria. With its return to Lagos, expectations are high for a night of glamour, competition, and groundbreaking musical moments.
As the new date approaches, all eyes remain on the organisers to see if any further changes will be made in the lead-up to the event.
