Livespot360 has officially confirmed the Atlanta rap Young Thug as the main headliner for the Detty Festival Stage on December 28, 2026.
The gig lands deep into the 13-day Detty December Fest, which runs from December 18 to December 30 at Detty Village. Fans scrambled for early bird tickets priced at ₦30,000 ($22.31 USD), which sold out almost immediately. Standard and VIP tiers now range up to ₦350,000 ($259.91 USD).
It’s a massive comeback play for Thugger. The Lagos show follows his 2026 Coachella set and The New Generation Tour—his first headline run in seven years following his release from a Georgia RICO case in 2024. He’s also riding the wave of his August 2026 release, Slime Language 3, and plans to drop a Mary J. Blige-inspired R&B album before year’s end.
He joins a stacked Detty December roster. Wizkid opens the festival on December 18, DJ Tunez hosts Christmas Eve, and Summer Walker performs on December 27.
The competition is stiff. Davido’s three-night residency, Brandy, Kehlani, Lil Baby, A Boogie, and Latto are all fighting for the same Lagos crowds. But Young Thug brings a distinctly Atlanta energy to the African continent.
