Latto Sets First Africa Show In Lagos On Her Birthday

Latto will spend her birthday onstage in Lagos, where Flytime has booked her for what organizers call her first live performance in Africa.

The Atlanta rapper is set to play December 22, 2026, at the Eko Convention Center. Her show opens Flytime Fest Powered by Coca-Cola, which runs December 22-24. She is the first artist announced for that three-night festival. The dates fall during Lagos’s “Detty December” holiday season.

“Latto is a powerhouse performer, and her energy is a perfect fit for Flytime Fest,” Flytime Chief Operating Officer Keke Hammond told AllHipHop.

The Lagos date follows a fall spent touring with Doja Cat.

As AllHipHop previously reported, Latto joined the North American leg of the “Tour Ma Vie World Tour” as its special guest. The run began October 1 in Detroit and is scheduled to end December 1 at Madison Square Garden in New York.

That leaves three weeks between the tour’s planned close and her performance in Nigeria. The 31-date North American run also includes stops in Atlanta, Miami and Toronto, according to Pollstar’s tour report.

Her latest album already has a Nigerian connection. Wizkid joined Odeal on “Anxious,” a track from her fourth studio album, Big Mama.

Released May 29 through Streamcut and RCA Records, the project also includes “Okayyy” with Doja Cat. Teyana Taylor, Sexyy Red and 21 Savage are among its other guests.

Flytime’s wider December calendar starts two days before Latto’s set.

Brandy will headline House of R&B on December 20. Lil Baby, Kehlani and Yung Miami are booked for Coca-Cola Rhythm Unplugged on December 21. All those events are set for the same Lagos venue.

The company launched Rhythm Unplugged in 2004 and Flytime Fest in 2017. Past performers across its events include Megan Thee Stallion, Gunna, Wizkid and Burna Boy.

Flytime Circle closes the six-day calendar on Christmas Day. Organizers said they’ll announce more names for Flytime Fest and Flytime Circle in the coming weeks.
