Homecoming 2025
Homecoming is more than a festival, it has been a movement. Born in Lagos, built for the culture, and rooted in the vision of Grace Ladoja MBE, Homecoming brings together the best of music, fashion, art, sport, and community. Every April, the city becomes a creative playground, buzzing with energy, talent, and global connections.
This year’s edition runs April 17–21, and it’s shaping up to be a full-circle celebration of African creativity, from the streets to the global stage and back home again.
Homecoming Summit (April 18)
The Summit is Homecoming’s think tank, a space for bold conversations. This year’s theme, “A Manifesto for the New Creative African Era,” explores how African artists, entrepreneurs, and cultural leaders are flipping the script, owning their narratives, building creative ecosystems, and shaping what’s next.
Expect panels, talks, workshops, and honest dialogue. No gatekeeping. No filters. Just real talk.
Homecoming HI-FI (April 18)
Homecoming HI-FI is where the underground rises. Heavy-hitting DJs, genre-bending producers, and that raw, percussive energy that only Africa can bring. From EDM to Amapiano to gqom to house, it’s deep, it’s loud, and it’s made to move you.
Homecoming Retail Pop-Up (April 19–21)
The Homecoming retail Pop-Up is where culture meets commerce. Featuring exclusive drops and collaborations from some of the most exciting African and global streetwear brands, this is your chance to cop rare pieces and connect with designers pushing the scene forward.
Come for the clothes. Stay for the creativity.
Homecoming Live Show (April 20)
There’s no stage like a Homecoming stage. Expect an explosive lineup of established icons and emerging stars in a back-to-back playlist-style format that levels the playing field and celebrates unity through sound. Music, culture, and community collide in one unforgettable live show.
Homecoming is a place where the diaspora reconnects, where stories are reclaimed, and where the future of African creativity is being crafted in real time.
