Asake announced on November 12 that he will headline M$NEY in Lagos at Future Fest on December 20, 2026, at Oasis Ground on Coastal Road, Victoria Island. Arise News reported the promotional video released by the artist, while Pulse Nigeria and HypeTribe independently identified the festival date and venue.
For Nigeria’s live music business, the booking gives Future Fest a second distinct anchor in its closing weekend. The festival already has a YBNL reunion show scheduled for December 18. Asake’s own headline date two days later lets the promoter sell another event around a specific artist and album, rather than relying on the reunion bill alone. A booking is an announced plan, however, and none of the reports establishes ticket sales or the show’s eventual turnout.
A separate night for Asake
The December 20 concert is billed as the final night of Future Fest’s December 11 to 20 programme, according to Pulse Nigeria and HypeTribe. Arise News also places the show at Oasis Ground and says the announcement came through Asake’s promotional video. Those reports agree on the core details: artist, date, city and venue. The festival’s public site redirected to an app when checked for this report and did not provide a readable event listing, so the published reports are the basis for the programme details here.
The concert title connects the Lagos date to Asake’s 2026 album M$NEY. Pulse Nigeria and HypeTribe both identify the album as the centre of his recent tour and describe the Lagos booking as following his international dates. InterSpace Daily’s earlier look at the album’s production credits found Magicsticks credited on eight of its thirteen tracks. That is useful context for a show carrying the album’s name, though no setlist has been published in the sources checked.
What the announcement does and does not establish
Several Nigerian outlets have published proposed ticket tiers, including a general admission figure of ₦100,000 and high-priced table packages. The official festival site did not expose a readable ticket page during this check. Those reported prices should therefore be treated as provisional until the organiser’s checkout or terms can be examined directly. This report does not use them to estimate revenue or demand.
Asake’s position on current listening lists provides a narrower, observable measure of the audience around his catalogue. Apple’s Nigeria Most Played feed, updated November 12, lists “Forgiveness” at No. 3. TurnTable’s Official Nigeria Top 100 for October 30 to November 5 places “Gratitude” at No. 3 and “Forgiveness” at No. 12. The two charts measure different listening windows and activity, so those ranks cannot predict attendance. They do show that songs associated with the artist remain visible on Nigerian charts as the concert is announced.
The next checks for buyers and the trade are the organiser’s confirmed ticket terms, the running order and any further names on the bill. For now, the fresh, corroborated development is a December 20 Asake headline concert at Future Fest, separate from the December 18 YBNL reunion.
