Reporting by Channels Television indicates Adekunle Gold received a plaque recognizing a sold‑out show at the renovated National Theatre complex in Lagos.
Fans are calling it both an artist win and a venue win, reading it as a sign that Nigeria’s big‑ticket live entertainment is regaining confidence.
The moment is also fueling fresh talk about how the refurbished space could become a new benchmark for Lagos headline concerts.
- TheCable Lifestyle (Outlet): “the first artist to sell out the Wole Soyinka Centre.”
- BellaNaija (Outlet): “North America is up next…”
Echotitbits take: Plaques like this aren’t just mementos—they’re signals to sponsors, venue operators, and touring partners that audiences will show up at scale. Watch for a rush of bookings from other top acts, and whether the venue’s programming stays consistent enough to cement it as Lagos’ new prestige stage.
