Lagos is already preparing for another huge Detty December, and this year’s festivities are getting a major headliner. Wizkid is set to headline the opening night of Detty December Fest on December 18, 2026, in Lagos.

The announcement was alongside a promotional poster featuring Wizkid and confirming December 18 as the grand opening and Day 1 of the 13-day festival.

The news is already generating excitement among fans because Wizkid’s appearance gives the festival a major star-powered opening. For Nigerians returning home and international visitors planning their December trips, his headline performance could become one of the first major highlights of the festive season.

Detty December Fest is scheduled to run from December 18 to December 30, bringing together music, nightlife, culture, food, and entertainment in Lagos.
