Description

The Greater Lagos Countdown is a spectacular annual New Year's Eve celebration held in Lagos, Nigeria, to usher in the new year with a bang. This large-scale event typically takes place at Eko Atlantic City, one of the city’s most iconic venues, and draws thousands of people from across the city and beyond. The countdown event features a variety of entertainment, including live music performances, DJ sets, dance performances, and cultural displays. Expect to see a star-studded line up of Nigerian and international artists across various music genres such as Afrobeat, hip-hop, pop, and traditional Nigerian music. The celebration culminates in a dazzling fireworks display at midnight, marking the arrival of the New Year in a grand fashion.

Tickets for The Greater Lagos Countdown can be purchased in advance or at the gate, with several ticket tiers available, such as general admission and VIP packages. VIP ticket holders typically enjoy exclusive benefits, including premium seating, access to special lounges, and closer views of the stage and fireworks. The event also often offers family-friendly areas where visitors of all ages can enjoy the entertainment in a more relaxed setting. The festival runs throughout the evening, starting with pre-countdown activities in the afternoon and continuing into the early hours of the new year, making it an all-night celebration.

The Greater Lagos Countdown is suitable for all ages, with performances and activities that cater to a wide range of interests. However, some of the after-parties or VIP sections may have age restrictions, often requiring guests to be 18 or older. The event provides ample opportunities for guests to enjoy local Nigerian cuisine, explore artisan markets, and take part in various entertainment activities, all set against the backdrop of the stunning Eko Atlantic City. With its combination of world-class entertainment, a vibrant atmosphere, and a thrilling countdown experience, The Greater Lagos Countdown is one of the most exciting and highly anticipated events in Lagos each year.
