This holiday season, Livespot is introducing a completely fresh dimension to the Lagos festive calendar with Tungba Christmas. Scheduled for December 25, 2026, at the Detty December Village, this unique Christmas Day celebration fuses the high-energy celebrations of the Yuletide season with the rich, unmistakable traditions of Nigeria’s owambe.
While the broader Detty December Fest lineup, running from December 18 to 30, features standard-setting concert production and global headliners, Tungba Christmas is specifically curated to anchor the season in deep, localized cultural heritage.
Guests are invited to arrive in their absolute cultural best, showcasing rich traditional attire, coordinated ạṣọ ẹbí looks, and personal style.
Reflecting on the vision behind the launch, Deola Art Alade, 360Co Group CEO, shared why this integration matters so deeply to the festival’s identity:
“Vision and scale only matter when they are rooted in who we are. We launched Detty December Fest to build a world-class live entertainment infrastructure for Africa, and for a season we all look forward to every year. Tungba Christmas matters more now because it takes that communal spirit, the fashion, and the unmatched joy of our traditional owambes and gives it a massive global stage. It’s an intentional space for families, friends, and the diaspora to come together and celebrate Christmas through the lens of our own heritage.”
As part of the 13-day festival experience, Tungba Christmas stands out as a day for multi-generational connection, lively music, and culinary excellence.
