Olamide Reunites Adekunle Gold, Fireboy, Lil Kesh, Others For Lagos Concert
Nigerian music fans are in for a nostalgic night as award-winning rapper Olamide prepares to bring together some of the biggest stars to have emerged from his YBNL Nation record label for a historic reunion concert in Lagos.
Tagged YBNL: The Reunion, the highly anticipated event is scheduled for December 18, 2026, at Oasis Ground, Coastal Road, Victoria Island, as part of Future Fest 2026.
The concert will feature Olamide alongside an impressive lineup of former and current YBNL associates, including Adekunle Gold, Lil Kesh, Fireboy DML, Young Jonn, Pheelz and DJ Enimoney.
Music platform NotJustOk announced the development in a post on X on Tuesday, November 10, declaring: “YBNL STARS ARE SET TO REUNITE THIS DECEMBER.”
The announcement has sparked excitement among fans, particularly those who witnessed the rise of YBNL and the remarkable careers of artistes who passed through the label.
Founded by Olamide in 2012, YBNL Nation has grown into one of Nigeria’s most influential music labels, serving as a launchpad for several artistes who have gone on to establish successful careers locally and internationally.
Among its most successful early discoveries is Adekunle Gold, who rose to prominence with his 2015 hit single, Sade, before releasing his debut album, Gold, in 2016.
Lil Kesh also became a household name under the label, delivering street anthems such as Shoki and Efejoku, which helped define an era of Nigerian street-pop music.
Fireboy DML, who joined YBNL in 2018, brought another dimension to the label’s musical identity with his critically acclaimed debut album, Laughter, Tears & Goosebumps, released in 2019. The project featured hit songs such as Jealous, What If I Say and King.
Beyond its recording artistes, YBNL also nurtured formidable talents behind the scenes. Young Jonn and Pheelz initially built their reputations as music producers before transitioning into successful recording artistes.
DJ Enimoney, meanwhile, became an integral part of the label’s identity as its official disc jockey.
Although several of the artistes have since moved on to pursue independent careers, their contributions to YBNL’s growth remain significant.
Adekunle Gold’s departure, in particular, marked a new chapter in his musical journey, while Fireboy, Young Jonn, Pheelz and Lil Kesh have continued to explore individual sounds and projects.
The December reunion is therefore expected to offer more than a star-studded performance. It presents an opportunity to celebrate the musical chemistry, hit records and shared history that helped establish YBNL as a major force in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
For fans who grew up on the label’s defining records, the prospect of seeing Olamide, Adekunle Gold, Lil Kesh and Fireboy DML share the same stage again is already a major attraction.
Future Fest 2026 will run from December 11 to 20 in Lagos, celebrating music, fashion, film, art, food and technology, with the YBNL reunion concert among its major musical attractions.
