    Reporting by Guardian Nigeria says media personality Yaw Naija and veteran DJ Jimmy Jatt are staging the second edition of the Rewind Flashback Concert, with Abuja and Lagos dates announced.

    The show is pitched as a nostalgia-driven night—reviving late-’90s and early-2000s hits and targeting fans who want “old school” energy during the holiday rush.

    Also noted by ThisDay (Website): “Yaw… alongside… Jimmy Jatt, will host… Rewind Flashback Concert… Abuja… and… Lagos.” (https://www.thisdaylive.com/)

    Separately, Punch Newspapers (Website) reported: “Music lovers are set for a nostalgic experience…” (https://punchng.com/)

    Echotitbits take: Nostalgia concerts are becoming a reliable second lane of live entertainment—older audiences, higher spending power, and brand-friendly lineups. Watch for the final performer list and post-show videos; strong execution could turn Rewind into an annual franchise.

    In an update published by Pulse Nigeria, Life Lager’s Xmas Concert in Port Harcourt delivered high-energy sets from Odumodu Blvck and Jeriq, with Duncan Mighty adding hometown heat that had the crowd buzzing.

    The event is part of a bigger December touring play—turning what used to be single-city shows into multi-stop cultural moments backed by brands.

    • TheCable (website): “Life Beer delivers high-energy performances …”
    • ThisDay (website): “Port Harcourt recently came alive at the Life Xmas Concert…”

    Echotitbits take: Beyond entertainment, this is brand warfare: beer companies competing for December mindshare via concerts and city-to-city identity campaigns. Watch the next tour stops, TikTok/IG crowd clips, and whether the artists’ momentum converts to bigger endorsements in 2026.

    In an update published by The Sun Nigeria, Flytime’s Rhythm Unplugged 2025 is being marketed as a major Lagos concert moment, with Rema and Central Cee drawing the loudest pre-show chatter.

    The event has become a Detty December staple where production quality, surprise guests and crowd experience heavily influence its reputation year-to-year.

    This year’s UK-rap crossover signals how Lagos lineups are expanding beyond Afrobeats-only programming.

    Cene’s event page describes the billing as “headlined by global Afrobeats sensation Rema… with special guest artist, UK rapper” Central Cee. TurnTable Charts’ roundup lists the top line plainly: “Headliners: Rema & Central Cee”.

    Echotitbits take:
    If execution matches hype, Rhythm Unplugged strengthens Lagos’ claim as Africa’s December entertainment capital. Watch for sellout signals, guest leaks, and whether traffic/venue management becomes the real post-show story.

    Pulse Nigeria reports that Heineken-powered branding took centre stage at Davido’s 5ive Alive Abuja stop at Eagle Square, drawing a large festive crowd.

    The report frames the night as a premium concert experience and part of a larger brand push during Detty December.

    Beyond the music, the event highlights how big brands are turning concerts into experiential marketing plays.

    Verification
    TheCable (news outlet): “Heineken powered Davido’s 5ive Alive Tour… held on December 14.”
    Zikoko (culture outlet): “a celebration of music, creativity, and the vibrant spirit of Christmas.”

    Analysis/Echotitbits take: Detty December has become a structured business season where brands compete for cultural mindshare. Watch for more sponsor-led ‘tour experiences’ and Abuja’s growing role as a premium December destination.
