The Nigerian-British Afro-R&B star has been unveiled as the headline act for EliteFest 25, setting the stage for a soulful finish to the city’s famously packed festive season.

The singer will serenade fans at the Balmoral Event Centre, Victoria Island, on Monday, December 29, 2025, marking a highly anticipated return to the country where his musical journey began.

The announcement arrived alongside a striking promo image, instantly sparking excitement among fans who have followed Gabzy’s steady rise.

Known offstage as Gabriel Akinyemi, the soft-voiced hitmaker has carved a unique lane with his blend of Afrobeats, soul, and R&B, a fusion that shines through songs like Pull Up, As Friends, and his beloved collaborations with producer Melvitto.

Fresh from an international tour and the release of his 2025 EP, It’s Not You, It’s Summer, Gabzy’s Lagos show is expected to balance emotional new tracks with the fan favourites that built his global following.

Organisers describe EliteFest 25 as one of the final “Detty December” stops of the year, but unlike the usual high-energy concerts, this one promises a smooth, intimate vibe.

It’s designed to let the audience sink into the depth of Gabzy’s storytelling, a sound rooted in Yoruba heritage yet polished by UK influences.

For fans eager to be part of this musical homecoming, tickets and updates are already live on the official EliteFest 25 platforms.

Nigeria, it’s time. 29th December I’m bringing The Gabzy experience to Lagos. We ready?

Blending Afrobeats with R&B and street-pop, the album positions FOLA as one of the genre’s most compelling new voices.

Written over the span of a year, Catharsis was crafted as what FOLA calls a healing tool, designed to “mend what life tried to break.”

The album explores love, self-reflection, healing, and growth—delivered through his soulful vocals and vivid storytelling.

The journey begins with the pulsating opener Gokada, setting a lively pace with infectious rhythms and streetwise narratives.

On the other end of the spectrum, songs like Healer dive deep into vulnerability and resilience, while Cruise Control provides a breezy, feel-good contrast.

Closing track It’s Going ties the project together with a celebratory tone, balancing triumph with reflection.

Part of what makes Catharsis stand out is its star-studded lineup of collaborators. Victony lends his signature touch to Golibe, Kizz Daniel brings firepower to Lost—already a chart favorite peaking at No. 3 on the Official TurnTable Top 100—while Gabzy delivers soul on Robbery.

Young Jonn joins for Disco, a high-energy banger built for the dancefloor. Each feature complements FOLA’s sound without overshadowing his voice.

Since its release, Catharsis has been met with critical acclaim and strong fan reception. Tracks like Caricature and Eko have sparked social media chatter for their cultural wit and sharp lyricism, furthering the project’s relevance beyond just music.

With Catharsis, FOLA has delivered more than an album—he’s given listeners a window into his evolution. Both personal and universally relatable, the project positions him as a rising force capable of balancing introspection with mainstream appeal. It’s a debut that not only introduces FOLA’s artistry but also hints at his staying power in the global Afrobeats movement.
