For the last seven years, the HOMECOMING™ Festival has defined Easter weekend in Lagos, Nigeria. Planned around a series of pop-ups, informative panels, charity football matches, and a live concert finale, the festival has become an important part of Lagos’ cultural calendar. In keeping with the foundational goal it set for itself, the HOMECOMING™ 2025 Festival continues to connect exciting up-and-coming talents across West Africa with stand-out professionals from across the world, setting the stage for a West African explosion of talent.
In 2025, the ambition was much grander: returnees were encouraged to immerse themselves in the cultural fabric of Lagos, visiting cultural hotspots and centres of symbolic importance. A new flagship concept store was launched in honour of the relationship between Lagos and HOMECOMING™, and, as always, the festival was rung out specially at the live show that united the best of African music talent with some of its most innovative up-and-comers.
Below are some special moments from HOMECOMING™ 2025.
