According to Premium Times Nigeria, Afrobeats pioneer 2Face Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, is celebrating 25 years in the music industry today, March 29, 2026, with a landmark event titled “The 2Baba Experience” at the Eko Hotel & Suites. The concert is designed as a high-energy retrospective of his journey from the Plantashun Boiz era to global solo stardom, supported by major brand partners.
The Guardian Nigeria reports that the legendary artist intended for the show to “serve as a major moment of reflection and celebration” for the entire African music scene. The outlet notes that the event is expected to feature a bridge of performances between “multiple generations of artists” who have been influenced by his sounds.
On Instagram, @official2baba shared promotional footage for the event, captioned with a note of gratitude to fans who have supported him since his debut. He stated in the post, “This celebration is bigger than me; it is about the journey of our music and culture.”
Echotitbits take:
This isn’t just a concert; it’s a coronation of the man who arguably laid the blueprint for the modern global Afrobeats explosion. By bringing together veterans and new-age stars, 2Baba is cementing his legacy as the industry’s “North Star.” Expect viral clips of nostalgic reunions and perhaps a few “passing of the torch” moments that will dominate Nigerian social media for the next week.
