Summer Walker is finally bringing her R&B hits to Lagos. The Grammy-nominated singer has just been announced as a headliner for the 2026 Detty December Fest, marking her first-ever live performance in Nigeria.
Her December 27 appearance lands right on the heels of her October 2026 collaboration with Nigerian Afrobeats star Victony and Don Toliver on the official “SLICK (Remix)“. The timing builds directly on her recent crossover momentum with the Nigerian music scene.
The remix has a viral origin story. Victony released the original solo version in July 2026, produced by Ozedikus and Dëra. Summer Walker later sparked massive online buzz after sharing a playful, acoustic reinterpretation on Instagram that she dubbed her “Thick Slick remix”. That viral moment led to the official studio version with both Walker and Toliver dropping on October 16, 2026, alongside a music video.
With the track still fresh on the charts—and Victony based in Lagos—the December 27 festival date gives fans a prime opportunity for a potential live guest appearance.
She takes the stage at Detty Village in Ilubirin. The 13-day festival runs from December 18 to December 30, featuring five main headlining days packed with nightlife programming, food activations, and aerial shows.
Walker joins Afrobeats heavyweight Wizkid, who is set to open the festival on December 18. Organisers are still keeping the remaining headliners under wraps.
The Lagos holiday calendar is absolutely stacked this year. Walker’s debut lands right in the middle of a fierce concert season that includes Davido, Brandy, Kehlani, Lil Baby, Yung Miami, Rema, Sexyy Red and Latto, all competing for the same crowds.
Fans can grab early bird tickets via Tix.africa starting at ₦30,000. Given how fast this December lineup is moving, waiting too long to secure passes will likely cost you.
