Whether You’re Screaming ‘Goal!’ or ‘One More Song!’—This Weekend’s for You
Hi there,
There’s nothing quite like watching the Champions League final surrounded by loud cheers, louder banter, and that one friend who swears they’re the coach. Football + good company = elite combo. This weekend, that same energy’s spilling everywhere.
I know it’s salary week (blessings!), but I also know how fast those digits disappear. Luckily, this weekend’s on our side. We’ve got a packed lineup of 11 standout events—from all-night raves like Raveolution and South Socials to sip-and-paint nights, karaoke, football watch parties, and Sporting Lagos matchday—and only one crosses the 10k mark. The rest? Free or friendly on the wallet.
So whether you’re chanting for your team or chasing the bassline into the sunrise, this weekend’s built to go all out.
Let’s get into it.
Friday

Whether you’re yelling “Goal!” or dancing till your knees give out, this weekend’s got space for both.
From South Socials to Steeze Rave, the lineup’s built for movement—music, games, drinks, art, football, all of it. If you’re going all in, every day’s stacked. But if you’re like me, you’ll mix it up. I’m out Friday and Saturday, then spending Sunday indoors, recharging with my people.
Balance is key. Do your weekend your way.
Catch you outside,
Israel.
