As the festival period gathers momentum, organisers of the Shakara Festival have confirmed that BlaqBonez, Brymo, Yinka Alaseyori and other musical stars will be partaking in the four-day event.
In a release, the organisers stated that the festival will run from December 18 to December 21, 2025, at the Nautica Beach Resort, Elegushi, Lekki, Lagos.
Other artists billed to grace the event are Show Dem Camp, J’Dess and Mich Straaw, who will be bringing Naija Rap and Alté fire, alongside soulful Afro Soul and R&B vibes to the festival.
Fast-rising stars such as Mavo, Llona, Tar1q, and Morravey are expected to dish out Afrobeats, while Brymo and Johnny Drille will thrill the audience with alternative and indigenous sounds and the legendary The Cavemen will deliver proper Highlife groove.
