Asake is coming home for Detty December. The Afrobeats star has announced a headline concert in Lagos on Sunday, 20 December, closing out Future Fest ’26 at Oasis Ground on Coastal Road, Victoria Island. The show, billed as M$NEY in Lagos, follows a year in which the singer released a record-breaking album and took his In God We Trust tour across North America and Europe.
But it is the price of getting in that has dominated conversation online since the announcement on Thursday, with entry tickets reported at ₦100,000 and premium tables running into tens of millions of naira.
Date, venue and ticket prices
According to Pulse Nigeria, The Will and NotJustOk, Asake’s show is the final night of Future Fest ’26, a ten-day festival running from 11 to 20 December. The concert takes place at Oasis Ground, an open-air venue on Coastal Road in Victoria Island.
Reported ticket tiers are:
- General Access: ₦100,000
- Bleachers: ₦200,000
- VIP (Bleachers): ₦250,000
- VVIP (Bleachers): ₦300,000
- Gold Table: ₦10 million
- Platinum Table: ₦20 million
Pulse Nigeria noted that the prices come from screenshots of the ticketing page circulating online, so fans should confirm them on the official ticketing platform before buying.
“Pay small small”: tickets in instalments
One feature drawing attention is the option to pay in instalments. The Will reported that the event’s ticketing platform lets buyers spread the cost of any tier over five payments. For a General Access ticket, the total comes to about ₦106,575 once a ₦5,000 insurance fee and a service charge are added, with an initial payment of around ₦10,658.
Buyers can track their payments on a dashboard, but the QR code that grants entry stays locked until the full balance has been paid. As The Will pointed out, the plan makes tickets easier to budget for but not cheaper, since the full amount is still due. It is not yet known how many fans have chosen this option.
A big year for Asake
The Lagos show caps a strong 2026 for the singer born Ahmed Ololade. His fourth album, M$NEY, released on 1 May, was his first full-length project under his own Giran Republic label in partnership with EMPIRE. Pulse Nigeria reports that it recorded the biggest opening week for an African album on Spotify, with about 56 million streams, and became the longest-running number-one album in Nigeria.
On the road, Asake played an arena run in North America from late August to early September, sold out London’s O2 Arena for a third time on 15 October, and ended the tour at Paris’s Accor Arena on 24 October. A planned Los Angeles date at the Greek Theatre was cancelled in September.
His last major Lagos headline show was at Flytime Fest on Christmas Eve 2025, where he performed before a crowd of about 20,000 and brought out guests including Olamide and Zlatan.
A crowded December at Oasis Ground
The same venue will host YBNL: The Reunion two days earlier, on 18 December. That show will bring Olamide back on stage with former YBNL acts including Adekunle Gold, Fireboy DML, Lil Kesh, Young Jonn and Pheelz. Asake, who rose to fame on YBNL before launching Giran Republic, is not on that line-up, and neither camp has commented on it.
What happens next
Organisers are expected to announce supporting acts and more Future Fest programming in the coming weeks. With the Lagos concert season already crowded, all eyes will be on whether Asake can fill Oasis Ground at these prices, and whether he has any special guests in store for his homecoming.
