If the rest of the year feels like the past two weekends, we’re in for an absolute ride. And lucky for us, this weekend looks like one to take the fun a level higher🚀.
From rooftop jams to stage plays, game parties to beachside feasts, band battles, and live paintings; the vibes are not letting up. They’re turning up. We’ve picked 11 events, and here’s the sweet part: only two cross the 10k line. Your fun’s getting an upgrade, not your expenses.
| 1. GameON In The Yard
This Friday, I’m clocking out early and clocking in for GameON. This backyard-style games night is where the Jenga’s giant, the cocktails are loaded, and the competition gets real fast. Come ready to trash-talk your friends over Uno and ping pong, all with a Lagos twist. |
| 2. GROOVE JUNCTION
It’s giving good vibes and zero gate fee. I’m pulling up to GROOVE JUNCTION for smooth sets, happy-hour cocktails, and that laid-back energy that lets you dance like your phone’s dead. |
| 3. A WKD TIME
Late night, loud laughs, and Lagos heat—A WKD TIME is exactly what it says. Pull out your finest reckless energy for an evening of all-out grooves, beautiful strangers, and vibes that escalate without warning. |
| 4. Battle of the Bands
Live music lovers, this one’s ours. Battle of the Bands is bringing fire from Lagos’ finest up-and-comers. Think shredding guitars, high-stakes vocals, and crowd energy that decides it all. I’ll be front row, pretending I’m a judge on The Voice. |
| 5. RAVE WITH DAVE: MAYDAY This Sunday, we rave—no explanations, no soft landings. RAVE WITH DAVE is bringing house-heavy sets, beachside energy, and just the right amount of chaos to close out your weekend. Clock in for cocktails, confetti, and certified bangers. |
| 6. Life Painting With Adulphina
I’m trading screen time for strokes on canvas at Life Painting With Adulphina. It’s part class, part therapy session, and all vibes. Whether you paint like Picasso or just need a creative Sunday reset, the Ark is where the art lives this Sunday. |
| 7. MOREMI – A Stage Play
Drama. Power. Heritage. Moremi brings Yoruba legend to life with rich costumes, live music, and storytelling that gives goosebumps. Show up for the culture and stay for the standing ovation. |
| 8. Sip and Paint + Karaoke
Paint in one hand, mic in the other. This Sip and Paint + Karaoke combo is a chaotic masterpiece—and we’re here for every off-key note and wine-fueled brushstroke. Come through if you’re ready to Picasso and belt Beyoncé in the same breath. |

| 1. WAV.REPUBLIK: Stars Of The City
Abuja’s skyline, rooftop breeze, and a lineup of rising stars? Time to lock in for WAV.REPUBLIK—where live music meets a rooftop rave and every set feels like a discovery. |
| 2. The Creative Picnic
If Pinterest made a hangout, it’d look like The Creative Picnic. If you're in Abuja, show up for the chill blankets, moodboard-worthy setups, art vendors, and vibe-heavy crowd. |
Quick flex; I met two amazing ladies at the GTCO Food and Drinks Festival last weekend. One convo led to another, and guess what? They read this newsletter. Moments like that? Always a win!
