Shakara Snippets, Vol. 1

Shakara Tribe! Wetin dey sup?!

It’s your girl, Suki, your official Shakara Snippets sis!

From now till Detty December, I’m going to be your plug—the one carrying you along on this mad journey as we build Shakara Festival 2025. I’ll be spilling all the tea (that they let me spill, anyway 😉) right here, giving you the inside scoop, the first looks, and all the gists.

And for my first assignment? Omo, I get the BEST news.

Okay, stop scrolling. Stop everything you're doing. This is NOT a drill!

The moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally here. You asked (and asked... and begged 😂), and we’ve delivered.

Tickets for Shakara Festival 2025 are officially LIVE!

Yes, you can now secure your access to the baddest event of Detty December. It's giving... main character energy. Don't waste time, this one go fast!

We’ve Been COOKING!

The excitement in the office is plenty. We are deep in our "build-the-best-festival-ever" era, and I had to carry you along on this journey.

The calls are buzzing, the DMs are popping, and we are locking down some of your absolute faves. We’re talking artists that will have you screaming! We can't say who yet, but trust us, the lineup is looking mad

This isn't just another show; it's a 4-day experience.

Which Day is Your Vibe?

Shakara Festival is running from December 18th to 21st, and we’ve curated a different flavour for everybody. The question is, which day are you really here for?

  • Day 1 (18th Dec): The Alté Cruise For the non-conformists. The cool kids. The "I-knew-them-before-they-blew" crowd. Expect soundscapes that will reset your brain and vibes that are just... different.
  • Day 2 (19th Dec): Women in Music A full day dedicated to the QUEENS running the game. From soulful divas to rap goddesses and the producers making it happen behind the scenes. We are celebrating the gworls!
  • Day 3 (20th Dec): Afrobeats to the World 🚀 You already know the gbedu! This is where we show the world why Lagos is the global HQ of sound. Get your best fit and your dancing shoes ready.
  • Day 4 (21st Dec): The Gospel Shutdown It's time to give thanks! We're closing the festival with powerful praise, uplifting vibes, and Gospel music sensations. A massive praise party to round off the year. It's giving... anointed!

Sabi the Venue? (A Small Clue)

So... where is all this magic happening?

We can’t tell you exactly where... yet. But IYKYK (If You Know, You Know).

I'll give you two small clues:

  1. We’re on the Island in Lagos.
  2. You’ll be right by the water.

The breeze alone is a vibe. Where do you think it is? Hit reply and send me your wildest guesses!

Don't Get Left Behind!

Seriously, this is Detty December in Lagos. Don't be that person hearing "sold out" when your friends are posting their fit checks.

Go and get your tickets NOW.
