“It is no doubt this year's AFRIMA Music Village attendees will leave with utmost fulfilment," AFRIMAs head of media Sola Dada said.

"The decision by the AFRIMAs international committee to change venue and take the concert closer to the grassroots in Agege Stadium, mainland Lagos, where diehard and loyal music lovers are, is to avail them the opportunity to experience their favourite African stars perform live on stage.

"From its inception, the concert has catered to its audience, creating an experience that stays with them for a long time. The previous edition in Ghana at the 100 000-capacity Independence Square in Accra left the crowd yearning for more, and the sixth edition will surely surpass previous ones."

Concertgoers will need to buy an official AFRIMAs T-shit at 2 000 naira ($5.50) here to attend he concert, which starts at 6pm.

The 2019 edition of the AFRIMAs take place at Eko Hotel on 23 November.
