On 26 August, DJ Lag brought his unmistakable sonic energy to Lagos for his first-ever headline show in Nigeria. The performance was hosted by Aktiv Kulture, a Lagos-based platform championing progressive African sounds, and known for bringing South African acts like Jazzworx and Thukuthela to Nigerian audiences.
For one electric night, Lagos experienced DJ Lag’s explosive blend of Gqom and electronic music, with a sound made for global dancefloors. His performance was more than a debut; it was a cultural exchange, bridging Southern and West African underground scenes with heavy bass and pure energy.
This show marked an important stop in DJ Lag’s ongoing African tour, which continues next in Nairobi, Kenya. With each city, he carries the pulse of Gqom to new audiences, while staying true to its Durban roots.
