“This year, GidiFest introduces the Gidi Tribe, an evolution of the identity that has found a home in GidiFest. The Tribe represents the new African generation that refuses to be defeated or defined by their circumstances”.
“It’s an emergence of young, determined individuals coming together to break down boundaries, who refuse to take no for an answer and rewrite the status quo”
He stated that there will be opening of the second stage for the Next generation artistes.
“2018 GIDIFEST promises to be bigger, better, and fun-filled, avoiding repeated mistakes and also expanding the fun activities of the Festival.

The popular artiste, however, indicated that this year’s event will be different from the norm because he would be available to support the organiser’s efforts in promoting what is known as ‘Gidi’ culture. This year, the organisers are introducing a second stage that will raise up the next generation of very talented artists that are moving the underground and redefining the Nigerian sound. The new wave will be represented by D-Truce, Makka, Remmy Baggins, Lady Donli, D-O, CHYN, Jinmi Abduls, Jamal Swiss.
