Posted on May 24, 2025
On Friday, May 16, Africa’s leading youth and pop culture platform, MTV Base, kicked off its highly anticipated Base Day 2025 celebrations with an unforgettable night at Voda Beach, Elegushi.
The event, which marked the beginning of a vibrant three-city tour celebrating 20 years of MTV Base championing African music and culture on the global stage, gathered music lovers across Lagos for an unforgettable day of performances and immersive entertainment.
The highly anticipated event featured performances from legendary and emerging Nigerian artists.
Veteran acts like Faze and Bigiano shared the stage with rising stars such as Ayo Maff, Ayanfe, Rybeena, and Omizzy, delivering a seamless blend of nostalgia and contemporary vibes.
As the sun set, the celebration continued with back-to-back DJ sets from some of Africa’s finest — DJ Picasso, DJ Spin, DJ Dtunes and DJ Venomm— keeping the crowd dancing late into the night with genre-spanning hits and timeless anthems. The curated lineup reflected MTV Base’s commitment to showcasing the best African talent while connecting with a new generation of fans.
Speaking at the event, Busola Komolafe, Senior Channels Manager, Paramount Africa, said, “MTV Base has been a catalyst of the African cultural phenomenon that we are witnessing today globally, and this event was a celebration to honour 20 years of MTV Base’s impact on African music and culture. We are grateful to everyone who came out to be part of it.  But the celebration doesn’t stop here — we are heading to Calabar and Abuja, and we can’t wait to create more unforgettable experiences with our community.”
In true MTV Base fashion, the event extended beyond music. Attendees explored curated areas celebrating contemporary African culture through fashion, food and art.
The Base Day 2025 tour continues in Calabar at the Hogis Royale Car Park.
