Detty December Fest

Detty December Fest 2025 was a first-of-its-kind, month-long cultural festival held from 7–30 December in Lagos, conceived and produced by Livespot360. Built from the ground up at Ilubirin Mixed‑Use Development, the festival transformed an undeveloped site into a purpose-built entertainment destination celebrating music, performance, and contemporary culture during Lagos’s globally recognised Detty December season. The project set a new benchmark for live event production in Africa.

December in Lagos has become a global cultural moment driven by diaspora return, music tourism, and large-scale entertainment. Detty December Fest was created to distil that energy into a single destination, a festival environment where music, spectacle, and cultural memory could unfold at scale. The goal was to build a stage large enough for the spirit of Lagos in December.

The festival required constructing a complete performance environment from scratch. Key production infrastructure included: Africa’s largest performance stage 19.4m × 46.4m × 1.8m Venue capacity: 20,000 1,600+ LED screen panels 300 metres of truss 600+ 8×4 stage decks The Ilubirin site was transformed into a fully operational festival ground capable of hosting international touring productions.
