Gidi Fest 16 (Gidi Culture Festival) is coming up on March 26th!
The festival will have music from Davido, Tiwa Savage, Yemi Alade,
Phyno, Timaya, K.O., and Riky Rick, with opening acts Adekunle Gold and
Small Doctor. Gidi Fest also features food and art from across Nigeria
and beach football and volleyball headed
by celebrity team captains. Ticket prices are slashed to N2,000 and are
available at

Why
the cut in pricing? Let’s get real about the economy. We’ve all felt
the effects
of the drop in oil prices and thereby the drop in our economy. This, in
combination with foreign exchange rates makes for tough times in
Nigeria. We’ve carried on in the traditional Nigerian way of ‘suffering
and smiling’, but let’s be honest; it’s a tough
time in our country!
Will
oil prices go back up anytime soon? Your guess is as good as ours, but
in the meantime,
what’s clear is that there is no stopping the Nigerian youth. As the
economy slows, we’ve all picked up the pace. We’re long past the days of
being limited to ‘traditional’ careers. In the pages of newspapers, or
even amongst your friends you can find people
making careers (and money!) as stylists, creative directors, graphic
artists, musicians, actors, producers - the list is endless. With
105million people under 30, Nigeria’s young people are a force to be
reckoned with.
Who
needs oil? Ok, we still need oil, but you get the point. There’s no
excuse to not
follow your dreams. The time is now! We’ve seen what many youths are
doing and we are inspired. We’re building the country together.
Just
like year’s past, we’re opening Gidi Fest’s gates to all communities,
providing
a day where everyone can come out, enjoy great music, great food, good
times and even better people. This year, with the economy slowing some
people down, we deserve a great day more than ever.
Gidi Fest is creating a tradition of youth empowerment and celebrating African music, culture and people in every form.
This
is our vision. What’s yours? Show us solo or even gather your
#GidiSquad. We’re

Understand, thanks for sharing,
If you agree that nothing could be better than being outside, making new friends, and making some money as your own boss then you are ready to become a festival vendor. Becoming a festival vendor can be easy or difficult; it really depends on the festival you want to sell your waresat.festivals
