Celebrating the birthday and legacy of Fela Kuti, Felabration is Lagos’s most electrifying annual cultural gathering. Over several days in October, the city pulses with live Afrobeat performances from Dele Sosimi, Femi Kuti, Yeni Kuti, Fela’s own family, and guest artists.
Beyond concerts, the streets teem with parades, symposiums on political resistance, art walks, street food fairs, and Biafran funk revival nights. Felabration isn’t just a musical tribute—it’s a socio-political echo of Fela’s spirit, uniting generations in protest, pride, and rhythm.
